GNOME vs KDE Plasma

Tue, 29 Sep 2020 01:00:14 +0530

Both default setups of KDE and GNOME are simply legible. Plasma looks like what you’d expect if you’re coming from Windows, with its bottom panel, menu, and task manager, and the defaults are clean and simple, rather welcoming for a new user.

GNOME, on the other hand, is the precise opposite approach: the default metaphor is the opposite of what you’re used to, with no active task management, no desktop icons, no application menu, no dock or taskbar. Activities are a good concept, easy to learn, but it goes against most other desktops I’ve used, so I took a while to get used to switching windows through the activities or the keyboard.
