- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. π¬π§π¦πΊπΊπΈ
- Comments written in other languages are allowed.
- The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
- Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

GNOME's design philosophy is "we've determined that nobody needs this feature".
KDE's is "we've determined that nobody needs this feature... but it would be really cool, fuck it, we ~~ball~~ cube".
This is KDE we're talking about, so it would definitely be "fuck it, we kube".
Can there even be life without the lovely and amazing Kube? It would certainly not be worth living.

How? Trust me bro! Users hate features, they get all confused and stuff. That's why nobody should ever choose anything, the OS should just be shit forever. We also get paid by Microsoft and IBM coincidentally.
Microsoft and IBM both donate to the Linux Foundation itself. They are both platinum members who regularly give them funds for all kinds of projects. This is really idiotic gotcha attempt.
A donation isn't quite the same as pay (as in salary)! I'm thinking of Miguel de Icaza and Lennart Poettering, for example.
Is GNOME Microsoft's controlled opposition?
Well who needs systrays anyways? While we're at it, let's remove theming support too! Surely nobody would miss that feature?
I really miss KDE. Sadly my experience with new major versions (5, 6) tends to be that plasma is unstable for daily use for at least a year or two. I'll be back once things settle down a bit.
"It implements client-side decorations, or it gets the hose again!"
Plasma 6 has been nothing but great for me! Not a single crash ever since it released. It's nothing like the beginning of Plasma 5
Sadly my problems are with buggy applications, and hdr (more of a monitor issue than plasma itself). I'm hoping these get patched as more people yell at bad wayland support and poorly implemented hdr.
Somehow, under GNOME things "just work". Or at least it doesn't take down the entire session.
