Again, it's the same shit that happens where people let their views of something overwrite the facts

AWhich also happens a lot with the GNOME hate bandwagon I feel which is just beyond ridiculous I find. People seem to invent a new reason they hate GNOME every second week it's just odd
AIt's like, "well if you don't like it just use something else and spend time using your computer instead of yelling online about a DE you don't use lol"
Zthat happens everywhere, not exclusive to DEs. Its just people having a common dislike doubling down in order to find others to agree with them.
Zis a positive loop feeding
AYeah pretty much
AJust from my experience GNOME is the thing I see Linux side that has the most vocal group of "pointless dislikers" as I call them
AIf that makes sense
ABut it's everywhere
AFor tons of things
AFar beyond just DE's
AIn the end I just view it as pointless at best and harmful at worst and it's just like... Yeah
WOne thing that I really like about GNOME is that you can play a game in fullscreen borderless windowed mode and have a youtube video playing in picture-in-picture (yeah I watch youtube while gaming....). This doesn't work in KDE but I've found that I prefer the "feel" of KDE. Does any one know how to get picture-in-picture working with a full screen game in KDE? Very random question I know
AThat's a good question actually
AI didn't even know you COULD do that tbh but hey, the more you know. I just use a second monitor LOL
WYeah that works when I'm on my work machine. Dunno how people work without at least 2 screens 
Mhe was how I found out about this
MI know some communities really hate him but could not get why lol
Mseems good to me personally
ALinux youtubing personalities are... Strange beings sometimes
AIt's like, the most insane trail mix of different people
MXD. Many of them I cannot watch tbh
MI think some out of touch as well with how the avarage windows user thinks
MI am using bazzite right now btw and enjoying it
Mjust my thoughts on it as a whole
MWINDOWS USERS STUPID WHEN U COULD JUST TYPE WHAT U WANT UR PC TO DO. LINUX USER FRIENDLY AF.
Actual windows user wishing they could just go to a website and install something the normal way easily and wondering wtf to type then afcter that wtf to type this time

AYeah no you're absolutely the hell right lmfao
Mfiguring out errors cos the software may not work first time. THough the errors are better at least but harder to google often due to small userbase rather than the os
M:warpenguin: :gunl: :windows:
AYour average windows user will hiss like a vampire at dawn at the terminal and honestly, fair
MI think with support penguin will improve
Msoftware support
Mproton really helped
Mlike the state it is in today
AYeah
AProgress is defo moving in the right direction
MI agree clicking next when downloading something can be annoying
WFor me, I tried out Ubuntu for the first time where it was on a DVD packaged in a Pc Format magazine (back when it took forever to download 4 GB over dialup...)
Mjust think sometimes that is over valued by some of the linux tubers to the point they want to shoot windows users
Mdialup hahahahaa
AI defo think flatpaks and stuff are going a long way to making stuff more approachable
WAnd wow it was awful lol....
AA rich software repository with GUI software managers
AThat goes a long way
Mthat is another thing. Back in 21 when there was a community I was in or people I knew they would act as if flatpaks are too old and real linxu users should do it this way or that way
Mbut it makes life easy
Mthey are good
ATbh there's this collection of Linux users who make their whole personality "New thing bad"
AFirst it was SystemD bad, then it was Wayland bad, then it was Flatpak bad, and the cycle continues ad infinitum
AAs somebody who spent FAR too long in the dependency hell mines in the pre flatpak years I am EXTREMELY HAPPY FLATPAK EXISTS
Vmy personal dislike is on them being insular and doing their own thing on wayland protocols while literally everyone else besides them (kde, system76, wlroots, valve, etc.) are collaborating to get things fixed and add needed features. as far as the DE itself? no hate on it. it's fine. it's just "not for me". but people liking it doesn't bother me.
