Are there any basic official and most used applications which work in both Gnome and KDE? For example gedit, Nautilus, transmission etc... OR is there a way to have both KDE and Gnome installed above Ubuntu without any conflicts in complete isolation to both desktop envs? So that one can switch easily between any desktop environments?

KDE always anytime

Though it is great but Gnome is more likely mobile OS…I don’t like to use it on my system feels like I am using mobile

Sucks I'd have to use a virtual machine to play Battlefield 1 and some other games though

You recycle ans old gear...Linux is green

I just discovered that Gnome apps look exactly the same in KDE as in Gnome. So Plasma desktop + Gnome apps -> Knome Let's do this!

Ever since plasma has supported HDR and had been on Wayland, I haven't considered anything else.

i hate those tiny niche customization options i cant access on kde panel icon size and separation, notification popup theming, window rules breaking everytime i turn off one of my monitors, granular customization of widgets, etc. people say kde plasma is more customizable than gnome the same way androi is more customizable than ios, there are a ton of modular alternatives to whatever you need but these are often subpar and lack customization. i prefer gnome extensions over kwin scripts and plasmoids any day of the year and jailbroken ios over rooted android

I feel like this video doesn't really talk about the Fedora KDE as much as it's just being another KDE vs GNOME video. I didn't like how the title and thumbnail focused on _Fedora_ KDE but the actual video didn't feel like it delivered on that.

GNOME has always been more stable for me than KDE, and I prefer the appearance of GNOME. I hope Fedora promoting KDE makes the DE more stable. Which Fedora's KDE DE is the only desktop environment that has never completely frozen on me.

bist du deutsche ?

fedora kde or opensuse kde and why.

KDE doesn't even support fingerprint login yet

I switched from GNOME to KDE due to fractional scaling, blurry XWayland windows, and GTK4 issues. Many things in Wayland are broken in GNOME, and fractional scaling makes them worse. I don’t need cloud storage access or calendar syncing in the file manager, as the browser and phone are enough. KDE offers better stability, while GNOME provides a fancier experience.

For me KDE is always laggy and unstable. Gnome just works.

I think our Frenchman Nicco and team have been hard at work and its paying off.

Only Stock Gnome is good, the moment you start adding extensions its over, Done for good. KDE is KDE. Gnome is having an Intel moment. KDE is having an AMD moment or not, I hope they both do even Better in the coming years.

Gnome sucks for so many reasons. One thing I will give Gnome is less mods people have made to it break it

I have a low regard for dark mode. It’s harder to read using it. Our book don’t have dark pages and white text for a reason. I can’t wait for the dark mode fad to go away. Thanks for the video. I think I will get and use Only Office.

favorite listen. amd system. 1 KDE Plasm(only wayland). 2 GNOME. 3 ohter os

Because fcitx5 is Good

I'm done with Fedora. I had so much trouble with virtual box in v35-37. I gave up and went to Mint. I came back on 38 when they put it in the repo and it worked. 38-40 worked well. I just got a new laptop and only 41 was available. 41 is UNCOOKED, various apps don't work right and virtual box again says it has problems with headers. WTF. I went back to Mint and am done with Fedora.

Even on gnome, the google drive integration changes the location everytime I reboot. Trying to connect keepassxc and it never works until I relaunch the kdbx file because the location changes. Definitely frustrating.

Fedora KDE is always my first choice. My distro hopping days are over.

KDE and GNOME have different use cases for me. I use GNOME on my 2 in 1 touchscreen laptop because its layout and touch gestures are far better for a device that I often use as a tablet. I don't find it super appealing personally but it really works for this use case of mine; I think it's a great DE that is super cohesive and does what it wants to do well. As for KDE, it's what got me out of Windows as its look and interface is familiar (and imo quite polished and nice looking) coming from Windows 10, and I was drawn to how thorough and powerful it is. I like its "simple by default, powerful when needed" design philosophy. KDE holds a special place in my heart and it's what I use on my non touchscreen laptop. It's wonderful to see both of these amazing desktops continuing to get better every day :)

the upstream support for asahi fedora has been focused on KDE so this isn't surprising to me as a mac user

When you end every statement in a high-pitched voice you cause yourself to put on the aura of doubt like you don't know what you are talking about because every statement sounds like a question. You will probably get better video impressions if you didn't go high pitched voice at the end of every statement.

Considering how the people writing GNOME treat people, this shift is hardly surprising. Forking the linux kernel is next on the list.

Kde Plasma not the default yet.. They talking about it.. Maybe on 42 !!

Gnome was my go to as I initially didn’t like KDE, but now regularly use KDE thanks to the Steam Deck. And lots has changed since KDE 5 to 6 in a year, and it keeps getting better. I get the online connectivity features and apps in Gnome. But KDE somehow doesn’t come in the way, and fits into my workflow. It works very well with Arch. I honestly thought Cinnamon was going to be the better DE, but I feel it is outdated now. That said, I might just give Gnome and Cinnamon another visit.

I tried GNOME, noticed there wasn't even a simple clipboard indicator, and then uninstalled

I can't see how it is hard to find settings in plasma, even if you really got lost, just use the search bar

The main reason I use KDE: Battery charge limit out of the box. I may try out gnome some time though…

I customize my kde to look and feel just like gnome (complete with auto workspace adding) but with global menu. I enjoy my experience but keep on finding bugs here and there every so often. Now I consider switching back to gnome... if only it has global menu to make use of its empty top bar😅

Just installed Fedora KDE and I am loving it. Everything worked out of the box and it is very customizable. I also use Arch with KDE and it is great. I would definitely recommend Fedora KDE over Ubuntu for new users.

Hello, I am getting into linux for the first time. Just got two new ssd nvmes to convert my ph omen laptop (year 2022) from Windows to linux. After some research, there are some that say linux can break your laptop. So, if I wanted to go back to Windows later, would my laptop be unable to run windows properly? Thanks for the great content 👍

I am happy that choice exists but I find Gnome virtually unusable without a ton of extensions and with extensions you risk things breaking constantly. So yeh its KDE for me.

Meh... GNOME is crap. Literally almost anything is better. Sorry, it had to be said.

I prefer KDE plasma. I tried Gnome but couldnt get Used to it. I installed plasma over the top of it.

Gnome feels so close to being perfect, it's very streamlined, but it's also just horrible for customizing and theming. Sure there's plugins, but they tend to be jank workarounds that break on a regular basis. Meanwhile KDE tends to just break more in general from my experiences, but is much more feature complete. Their default settings are far from sane, but they're leagues better than Windows at least. Im riding on Cosmic being the middle ground that is missing from the DE space. Sure Cinnamon exists, but it lacks Wayland support.

I love gnome as it's not a Windows lookalike

Ubuntu make Gnome really good. I turn on click to minimize and everything is really... Perfect for use. KDE is great too. But clear Gnome like in fedora? No thanks

Recently discovered Ubuntu Studio which seems to be really set up nicely for other things like OBS, KDenLive etc but have you done anything with Ubuntu Studio and Davinci Resolve. I have DR running well on Linux Mint but wanted to go to a Fedora 24.04 flavor because the AMD GPU I will use calls for it in the driver specs.

Fedora should be the default linux distro. Being backed by RHEL is a good thing.

XFCE FTW

Unfortunately both KDE and Gnome require "some" tweaking and ideally we still don't have environment which would require "none" tweaking. Gnome has these certain usability aspects way better done (like handling dynamic mounts) but then drops the ball on very basic features like allowing use of bold fonts for better contrast and readability on terminal. Also as I've learned to use desktop as the place for handling the files I'm working for quick accessibility for drag & drop operations the Gnome approach towards desktop icons feels really tone deaf. While KDE has all the basic things like minimizing and maximizing windows, desktop icons, etc. very nicely in order built in ways to setup file sharing to network or remote desktop features seem to be mostly missing in action. All of these issues can be worked around but I'd still prefer a desktop which would unite the best sides of KDE and Gnome.

I actually very rarely use the desktop at work, since most of my time is spent on the command line and I've slowly just moved to neovim for code editing and IDE. So, I don't actually look for customizations and other tweaks on my personal workstation that has a desktop environment. Basically, I'm probably someone who wouldn't mind the Gnome workflow and definitely doesn't need all the customizations that kde offers, but I've been happily using kde for more than half a decade now and have no plans to switch. I switched over from xfce around 2018 or so. Fedora's KDE spin is nearly perfect

Could you please teach how to build my UI like that red one of yours?

So KDE needs to be like Gnome until it can't afford to be like Gnome. Meaning that features should be defaulted but allow the curious to expand their exposure without making it hard or impossible. Like a level setting.

I prefer Gnome for my laptop, partly because it has a touchscreen. KDE i prefer for my desktop. So. Having them at parity would be amazing, though a minor thing overall.
