I don’t mean for this to become a KDE vs GNOME post. I’m looking at switching to Fedora (because Arch is a pain), and it seems that GNOME is more supported. I use KDE on Arch. What features would I be losing if I were to switch? (ex: toolbar management, KRunner, etc.)

    Gnome has been the only stable DE I’ve used in the last 20 years.

    Always loved the customization options of KDE and would love spending hours tinkering to get everything perfect. Now I’m old and don’t have time for that bullshit anymore.

    I just recently tried a few different DEs on an old Chromebook (i use Arch btw) and everything crashed after a few hours due to RAM limits, but Gnome kept chugging along on this piece of shit device and is now my daily driver.

      I’m not sure this is still true. It could be my extensions, but I have seen the new useless crash screen they added 2 times already. (It’s shown instead of just restarting mutter etc… So there is no way to rescue any running programs in a crashed gnome session any more.)
