Bloat isn’t “software I chose and spent time installing and configuring”
Customization is and always will be a key selling point of Linux, that’s why I refuse to recommend any district with gnome as DE.
You got to recommend what fits the user. Otherwise you are just telling them what fits you.
…but I actually like GNOME!
There are quite a few customization options for it too.
Its almost like I CHOSE to have this shit bog down my pc
Finally KDE will allow us to save our custom desktop layout. I might spend all my weekends customising my setup from now on.
How so? I want KDE to remember that certain programs should only open on certain screens
Ah but you see, this is my bloat! 😂
Yeah - I like my stuff. It might be a little bit messy, but I like it. But I would hate it with passion if my landlord would place his stuff into my flat.
And it’s your computer! if anything should be the way you like, it should be that.
It’s like forcefemming your pc :3
thats the beauty of it, is it not? having your OS fit SPECIFICALLY you and your needs. i am now so used to my setup that i fell like i will get an aneurysm when trying to use windows… or a DE on Linux
That’s okay. I don’t customize anything to balance it out.
It’s just so fun having an OS that you can make work for you vs being shoehorned into things you never asked for.
Hey, it’s not bloat if you want it!

Some people want to remove bloat to have a more efficient system
Some people want to remove bloat so they can fill it up again with their own bloat
They are not the same
Whatever bloats your boat.
It’s not bloat if you want it
Time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time.
One man’s bloat is another’s treasure
Reminds this one of a nord from Whiterun.
One man’s waste is another man’s soap.

Im actually going for the Gus fring one
Yes but I am both
Inside of you are two Gus Frings
They are not the same
Its fun. With the power of nixos i always have a safe fallback in case i brake something and need my laptop.
Like all things, it will pass. Still the possibility to go that far is a blessing
I got to the point in my life where I just enjoy a basic Debian XFCE with no customization (except for removing the bottom bar and adding some shortcut keys). With so much going on in real life, I learned of enjoy the never-changing stability on my PC.
Me too. I recently switched from NixOS to Fedora workstation because I didnt have the energy anymore to maintain my config. And all my kubernetes stuff got shoved in proxmox lxcs via the community scripts.
I love that many of the pictures in the bottom are from Rainmeter. A software for Windows that allows you to place customised widgets anywhere. So… literally have nothing to do with Linux
Man, you have a lot of confidence in your ability to tell Rainmeter apart from Conky, Eww or the like, from just a handful of pixels…
Let’s just say I’ve used Rainmeter a lot. And by a lot i mean for about 20 years. Is it possible people have created replica themes on Conky or viseversa on Rainmeter? For sure. I just found it funny that the image included Rainmeter skins. They’re the kind of images you’ll see as the poster for certain themes. And I’ve scrolled through more of them than I’d like to admit. And many of them are reposted a lot but use the same poster/thumbnail
