I tried aurora-dx the other day, DevPod is really cool and so nice having docker etc all pre-installed. I'm seriously contemplating switching to aurora-dx for my dev work.

I use aurora-dx on my school laptop, just installed bluefin-gx on my personal laptop to give GNOME another go

I hate and love gnome

Valerie•4/28/24, 5:00 AM

If you was for whatever reason deploying NixOS, it'd be insanely good

Hex•4/28/24, 5:00 AM

hate cause GTK4 is pain

Hex•4/28/24, 5:00 AM

love cause its sleek

Geechan•4/28/24, 5:01 AM

But yeah if you're willing to sink in a lot of time to create a perfect reproducible config then Nix can be of benefit

Astral•4/28/24, 5:01 AM

the last thing I want to be doing is writing a million billion script files to make everything exactly how I want it. I know some people are into that and that's fine but I dunno I like actually USING my computer

Hex•4/28/24, 5:01 AM

but also hate cause it feels like a touch tablet every time I use it

HHex I hate and love gnome

Valerie•4/28/24, 5:01 AM

I've always been KDE

Hex•4/28/24, 5:01 AM

I use KDE cause its what I can use rn

Hex•4/28/24, 5:01 AM

I don't like QT

Astral•4/28/24, 5:01 AM

my flag is pitched firmly over in camp gnome

Hex•4/28/24, 5:01 AM

nor KDE

Geechan•4/28/24, 5:01 AM

No matter what I can't escape GNOME

HHex I don't like QT

Valerie•4/28/24, 5:01 AM

I prefer KDE

Geechan•4/28/24, 5:02 AM

I always end up back there

Like I said, I've been waiting for a while now for a budgie version of Bazzite NVIDIA

FennecTECH•4/28/24, 5:02 AM

Gnome2 is okay.

AAstral I just kinda like GNOME...

Geechan•4/28/24, 5:02 AM

It's kinda hard not to like it when it's as polished as it is

Astral•4/28/24, 5:02 AM

I mean, sure it takes a little longer to get features than KDE does but I find when it does get those features they're often significantly more polished

GGeechan It's kinda hard not to like it when it's as polished as it is

Astral•4/28/24, 5:02 AM

EXACTLY

Astral•4/28/24, 5:02 AM

you get it

Geechan•4/28/24, 5:02 AM

Lol good minds think alike

FFennecTECH Gnome2 is okay.

Hex•4/28/24, 5:02 AM

~~Gnome 2~~ MATE Desktop

FennecTECH•4/28/24, 5:03 AM

Mate

wolfyreloadOP•4/28/24, 5:03 AM

When I used gnome I found that I used 5-6 extensions to make it look and work like kde.... So in the end I just switched to KDE

Astral•4/28/24, 5:03 AM

that's by far the main appeal for me. GNOME is just so goddamn polished. Yes features take a bit longer to get to it but it's one of those things where it's like "I know that when a feature DOES come to GNOME that it's going to be polished and it's going to just WORK"

Hex•4/28/24, 5:03 AM

I know its hard, but outside of the linux world

FennecTECH•4/28/24, 5:03 AM

I just cant stand gnome. Its too restrictive for me

Geechan•4/28/24, 5:03 AM

Those few extensions are worth it for me to use gnome. They're a built in feature for the environment so I might as well use them

Hex•4/28/24, 5:03 AM

gnome is already knows as the "linux face"

Astral•4/28/24, 5:04 AM

I like GNOME extensions

Astral•4/28/24, 5:04 AM

I appreciate that I can very easily customize my desktop UI with just a few clicks

Astral•4/28/24, 5:04 AM

like that's just NEAT

Valerie•4/28/24, 5:04 AM

Honestly the thing I respect about GNOME is how it looks because with a few tweaks it does look REALLY good. But like, so does KDE so

FennecTECH•4/28/24, 5:04 AM

Im setting up gridcoinresearch on my server. It’s a cryptocurrency based on boinc allowing a proof of work based blockchain with actual real benefit to the world

Hex•4/28/24, 5:04 AM

sadly you can't fix QT

Astral•4/28/24, 5:05 AM

GNOME's visual consistency is unparalleled in Linux DE's tbh

Geechan•4/28/24, 5:05 AM

KDE Plasma has gotten a lot better and I consider it very good looking and polished too. No, my main issue is I much prefer GTK apps to Qt, and GNOME has a much more consistent visual design with its apps

AAstral GNOME's visual consistency is unparalleled in Linux DE's tbh

Valerie•4/28/24, 5:05 AM

Consistently bad
