One thing since switching back to KDE recently I do feel is better than Gnome is how well it deals with screen tearing. I had many issues with Gnome 3.36 and 3.38 but in KDE I haven't seen any as of yet. I also use Panon but have it filling space in my panel. I didn't notice the RAM usage but since I have only a Pentium G4560 I did notice when it's working it can use 10% of my cpu.
"Some software produced by the KDE Community may include telemetry components, which provides details on the device it's running on to us. Where this functionality exists, it will always operate on an opt-in basis and be disabled by default" Yet another reason to use KDE.
They had a "user feedback" slider on the system settings. It was turned off by default but you could go in there and use a slider to choose how much data you want to allow them to receive to help them build and optimise the desktop for hardware you have.
I freaking do agree.. after spending couple of years on Gnome and it's derivates finally got back to KDE... what a freaking relief! Man, thanks for reminding me that we got so freaking good stable and lightweight desktop.. Got 50GB of Ram with 64bit system max I have reached on KDE so far was 11GB taken ... with full development environment open (JetBrains software 3 apps - Pycharm, DataGrip + WebStorm) + 4 Browsers each with dozens of tabs opened + Gimp + Swearnet in the background playing... on Gnome I reached 25GB of RAM taken... at the same circumstanes.. incredible...
in Arch, KDE uses less memory than XFCE ^_^ but I use vanilla gnome on my laptop ; its easier to switch workspaces, and thats it. No panels. on my desktop, I love to use KDE and customize a lot.
Check out the parachute Kwon script! I found it today on babyWOGUE's channel. It gives plasma desktop the same virtual desktop switcher as deepin desktop and you can also bind it to the meta key really easily
In gentoo . with dwm its 45mb in idle . in arch its 130mb(soystemd) . kde in gentoo iirc use 300mb in arch its 500mb . now its the same with xfce at idle . but when working its a lil bit more heavier nothing big though . gnome is a shit bloated de . its not a bloated eyecandy as kde m not customizable as xfce .
Tried It chromium didn't work and alot of things crashed and gaming really isn't the best Btw you have such a lack of understanding of gnome that you can't compare them
In gnome you need plugin to customize de right? But in the same way you using Kvantum Manager which is not meant to use with KDE. Its the same bloat like Gnome plugins. Why KDE stock theme manager cant do something that you need to use Kvantum Manager? No, its bloated too...So bad argument. I dont like any plugins that goes with de or os because that remember me, something in my de or os - it isnt perfect. I dont like nonperfection - in place where I rule...Linux is the place like that. If I need to use Kvantum Manager to customize KDE in the way I like, so KDE have not meet my requirements. In the same way in Windows you need to use external application to do the same. But maybe you need to solve a problem by manually editing the code of customization layer of kde...But in fact you need to fork all KDE repository, I pretty sure everything is connected and if you want to change something you need to do the change in very single places in code. And if you need to update your version of KDE, you need to observe all the code and do the changes when it needed every time when new version of KDE appears! :D Its crazy too...
You don't need to use Kvantum at all for theming KDE Plasma. I've used KDE for almost 20 years, and have themed Plasma since its conception. I just recently installed Kvantum on one of my laptops. It's nice, but totally unnecessary. KDE Plasma's default theme manager is better. I also have a GNOME set up. Like he mentioned on the video, and you very well know it's true, you literally can't do ANYTHING in GNOME without a plugin. Want to move the dock to the bottom of the screen? You need a plugin. Want to change your icons and desktop theme? You need a plugin. Want to disable your touchpad when a mouse is plugged in? Plugin.. It wouldn't be so bad if the plugins didn't require a whole other settings application (GNOME Tweaks) and a web browser for installation. With the exception of Kvantum, which is a cross desktop theming app BTW that works with other desktops besides KDE Plasma, every tweak for KDE Plasma is either built into one settings application or installed and managed from that same settings application. GNOME is a gosh darn mess!
@@snackers7 Kvantum is an option, a plugin if you like. You don't need it at all. The point is, if you want to approach the customizability of default KDE in Gnome, you need shitloads, literally tons, of plugins.
Don't get me wrong, I don't use DE's as daily. Haven't for over a decade, I'm all openbox. But when it comes to desktop environments, KDE is very very hard to beat. Futhermore, the development is very active.
Do you have a stereo mic? Sounds like you're to my left and behind me lol

Very cool, these are the kind of videos people should care about.
Btw do you care or take a look at privacy when picking some DE or anything?

CBT.png is bloat
I thought no one would notice that lol
Well said!!!!
That theme do you use?
I this video I am using the Qogir Dark theme: github.com/vinceliuice/Qogir-kde
