A picture of Lara Croft in new Tomb Raider hand in hand with Lara Croft from the old Tomb raider Series. The new one labeled GNOME and the old one KDE.

      Good joke

      XCFE feels like it came from that XP/Vista period where UIs were moving away from looking like they were drawn in a terminal but hadn’t quite reached “fluidity” or whatever other bs marketers call modern UIs… I could understand a tiling dm being called better than both but given XCFE is only better at being lightweight, that’s a self-placed restriction because it’s very reasonable to say most people can run either KDE or Gnome with virtually undetectable overhead

        Xfce is highly customizable (definitely more than gnome) and can look modern with a little theming. Its also much easier to replace components of the de (like the xfce wm or app launcher for example)

          I’m sure you could make it look like whatever your head meat blob can come up with, but eventually you’re five hours deep in a rabbit hole nobody has ever gone down and uncovering software bugs that god himself didn’t know about, just trying to make the damn thing usable.

          On GNOME, I don’t have to worry about any of that - the OOTB experience is just fine. For anyone.
