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)

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
