On the Graying of Gnome

Re:On the Graying of Gnome by bigbubba on Sunday December 20, 2020 @04:17PM (#25489598)

I used KDE for a while and liked it, but KDE 4.0 burned me and I never looked back. I've heard it's much better now, but haven't tried it. Okular, and gwenview were always nice, even during 4.0 days. Amarok used to be great, though I've not tried Clementine and I'm no longer a user of that sort of music library software. The reason I don't recommend KDE today is because I'm just not very familiar with it.

I'm using KDE since 3.5.x including 4.0 release train. Its infinitely better. Stable, fast, extensible and infinitely useful (esp. Dolphin's services).

I'm not using too many widgets and/or activities, but it's better than anything I use (incl. macOS, albeit they're close).

It's safe to come back. The bad old days are long past; KDE is a great DE and you should revisit now. Kubuntu 20.04 LTS is an excellent choice and will serve you for many years.
