I was team Gnome before Gnome 3 came out. Nowadays I don’t mind it for auxiliary computers that I don’t interact with regularly. It has a huge community behind it and that is a quality in its own right. But since MATE never really managed to become a worthy successor to Gnome 2 I guess I’m team Plasma now. I got it “forced” on me by my beloved Steam Deck and I can definitely see why Valve went for it.

Currently I’m experimenting with Hyprland but that is definitely too early to call it my forever pick, so Plasma it is.

So the career intelligence muscle who is in office since 1999 can’t possibly be a dictator but the comedian who only became a politician 6 years ago has already managed to dismantle a democracy while spending 3 of those 6 years commanding a wartime army against a goliath of an enemy. The things you learn on the internet.
