yeah no hate for debian here
this touches on my point exactly. i find that due to the “over recommendation” of mint/cinnamon, that many new people will inevitably “waste time” with cinnamon. this is a feeling i have that frustrates me, is all. KDE is exactly as easy to get started with as is cinnamon.
anyway cheers :)
hey right on, appreciate the thoughtful reply. i cant say i share the same experience, but now i understand where youre coming from.
side note, im new(ish) to lemmy and im really appreciating the quality of the takes im seeing on here. refreshing feeling, so cheers to adding to that.
maybe youve always been using 2 year or older hardware *shrug
wdym by ergonomic in this context, may i ask?
yeah i dont hate gnome users or even if i have to use gnome, but i do hate the conceptual approach to functionality they take, as you mention.
also …
Debian - for when you want to wait two years
kubuntu is trash. you have to wait forever for kde updates and not everyone wants to use ubuntu / derivatives. it just seems like everyone is so stubborn and just says mint. tons of distros “just work” out of the box with minimal configuration, even some based on arch.
really i only have one opinion here that im strong on, and its that i feel cinnamon is a waste of time for many (new people).
mint doesnt even offer kde, i dont see the point.
sure its fine and will do. but …millions of people waste time on cinnamon bc of this logic.
see heres the problem, youre doing that in the wrong order.
first figure out your DE/WM preference, THEN choose a package manager with the repos that will best support that for your use case and update cycle preferences. (the distro)
this sums up how i feel about this absolute babe
then you started a new paragraph, making a declarative statement, contradicting the position you meant to convey.
if you werent talking about actual anarchists, then you could have been clear in saying as much. anyway, good day.
sounds tiring
ty kindly :)
