gnome on redhat or fedora... ortherwise, no gnome.. I tried to use gnome on Suse and it wasn't too fun.. It seems like Redhat/Fedora was built for gnome and optimized gnome a little, and so its perfect..

However, KDE is just annyoing.. too much flash, too much craziness, its not clean and happy and productive.

but anything is better than windows. :)

flux is great, but it seems to be missing some things that i need. Gnome works great, expecially on a 1024x768 machine.  But hey im biased, ive always like gnomes.

Couldn't agree more

I finally got gnome to work on slack :)

I didn't vote, as imho it's a tie:

Gnome looks nicer, is much more organized, has nifty things like dbus-support etc, but it's a bit unstable (at least for me, i don't know why)

KDE is very consistent and has a lot of features and everything is nicely integrated, but it isn't very organized (program- and menu-wise).

I am in love with the K.

I used to be gnome powered for a while, but since I switched 100% to Linux last year for I no longer had Windows requirements, I have been using KDE. I think it is the most complete and well integrated solution available. It provides every single little thing I coud think of, and is well integrated.

And the second you add gtk-qt, everything looks unified.

KDE 3.4 is amazing and I can't wait for Kubuntu to work better so I can ditch Gnome. Gnome is nice and clean, but KDE gives me all the features I want.

That's exactly why I don't like KDE too much :p I get lost in the menus and the control panel :p But I like how 3.4 looks. I don't think its really faster, but the look n feel helps a lot :p (For example, my windows is slow crap and it can take ages for an app. to run... but I still think that windows 'feels' faster than gnome).

In ubuntu (hoary) Firefox looks ugly using KDE... does anybody know how to change this?

yes , install some theme to firefox

like this for example > http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=11442    :p

Nice theme :p However, I found out that I have to run "gnome-settings-daemon", that way Gtk apps. will apply gnome settings and won't look bad :p I don't know why I have to do this, from Gnome, kde apps look OK (except some like skype or the menu in opera)

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
