seems likely he’s making stuff up and playing the system to his advantage
Tbf that's how the system works as far as I'm aware. You start off going for as much as you possibly can and the defense will try and bring it down and make a deal.

Since he’s a pig, inherently a bad person, seems likely he’s making stuff up
feels like a really weird train of thought
okay you're right about the root topic.
Mainly the idea is that gnome is nice because it has generally solid defaults and doesn't expect you to do anything drastic to get the most out of it. This helps productivity out of the box and makes it more approachable. KDE is also good, I'm running it right now and it's defaults are also good, but it took me a long time to get anywhere near to getting the most out of it.
For some people that's good, they want to be immersed into their desktop and know and control every part they use. Other people prefer a simple setup to use as a medium to get work done and put that effort into other things like their work or games or anything else. It's really up to the type of user.
None of the points in the comment you're replying to said less options = good because options = distracting. I said that less options can be less confusing, and that KDE has what can be considered an overwhelming amount of options by comparison.
the jar would probably be the most convenient since the packages are probably still the same java application just bundled in a repo
Thank you for the added context. I try to assume the best of a situation. If this is what happened, then that was definitely not cool of the mod.
that's for the best, I'm just really disappointed in the mods for this.
bad info mb
Librewolf is good and quick to update. On mobile Fenix is great and on f-droid. If you want something different there's Dot which is another privacy focused firefox based browser but it's still under development and probably not ready for daily use. Fwiw though if you do try to go with something like librewolf you'll run into more issues with websites not working.
You also don't need endless customization in a desktop for it to be good. Gnome is a decisive desktop with a decisive development vision. KDE is a lot more customizable but it can feel more disjointed sometimes and it's app ecosystem is beyond what you need. KDE and it's ecosystem is known for having an overwhelming amount of options and customization, but there is such a thing as too much. I run KDE on my main PC right now but I'm about to switch to Gnome 41 comes out with system-wide dark mode and the libadwaita redesign is released.
As for extensions, gnome extensions aren't great because they aren't officially supported but they aren't awful either. I only really use the blur-my-shell extension to spice it up a bit. If you rely on extensions like dash-to-dock or other extensions to change the workflow you shouldn't use a rolling release because you'll generally want to wait for a little while after a release to update to make sure it wont break any extensions. In my opinion its probably wiser to get adjusted to gnome's workflow instead of trying to fight it because once you do it's really productive and smooth, way more polished than KDE feels for sure.
At the end of the day though that's all up to personal choice. if you want more options go with KDE for sure, but if you want something that "just works" gnome is a great choice.
Yeah I'm really excited about phosh. Gnome has been building up to something like this for a long time, being able to run on everything from a phone to a desktop workstation. And it looks great.
The active tab needs to be a little more distinct but damn the new libadwaita redesign looks amazing, I'll probably switch to GNOME when version 42 releases.
No?
