I don't understand all the friction Gnome gets. Yes, I'm satisfied with everything default on the Debian/ Fedora Workstation. That's because the DE get's the hell out of my way and most everything can be easily managed without touching the mouse.
Those two things alone are so important to me, and such an improvement over Windows, that I've just never gotten around to trying other DE seriously.
Gnome, because I don't care. ๐
If season 1 of Mr. Robot is to be believed, I run KDE because Iโm a sociopath. Cosmic fits my workflow better at work, though, so maybe that balances it out?
KDE is good but please, for the love of god KDE devs, you need to realize that some people...a lot of people actually....use more than one monitor.
Whenever I use Plasma I feel like I spend more time getting my windows arranged correctly across both my monitors with different workspaces. if each monitor had it's own set of virtual desktops then it would be the perfect DE.
One thing I found, coming from multi-monitor macOS to Kubuntu, was having to adjust to both desktops sliding left/right at the same time. I still don't really like how it effectively shuts off applications that aren't on the active desktop, and kinda puts a barrier between work spaces.
With a Mac, I have a regular desktop on one screen, with full screen applications on the other, which I can swipe between as much as I like. I miss not being able to do that in Linux.
Love the kinesis! I used it for while before finding a split, curved keyboard with integrated trackball!
Integrated trackball? Name please!
I see MX518 with dents. I upvote.
I want to buy one, but it looks like there are none, even used. (But Iโm not ready to pay absurd prices either.)
Still got mine for my travel kit when working remote, going hard since 2006.
I'd love a Bluetooth conversion kit somehow... If anybody knows what I need please comment.
