Switch from Plasma to Gnome

The only other two I need are Monday start and pop tiling.

And IdeaPad mode for my Legion for the power options.

I understand from the video that generally there is better performance under wayland. Right?

fbodymechanic · October 11, 2022, 4:36pm

Touchpad gestures.

Irregardless of Wayland i would never switch from Kde to Gnome whether it uses Xorg or Wayland. It’s not the desktop i would ever choose. I’d rather use Windoze.

Not a problem with Xorg, but with GNOME not implementing it for Xorg sessions. Supposedly there are extensions that let you use touchpad gestures on Xorg in GNOME.

As a KDE user, it seems it is not easy for KDE users to switch to Gnome.

I take this a s a joke. I see it impossible for me to go back to windoze… no matter what desktop it is!

It’s a bit like driving a Ferrari and then switching to a Lada. You get spoiled.

I had set up plasma to use touchegg. It was nowhere near as good

Kresimir · October 11, 2022, 4:47pm

I wouldn’t know, I don’t use a touchpad. But I am fairly sure it’s not an intrinsic limitation of Xorg.

The same is valid about GNOME

fbodymechanic · October 11, 2022, 4:48pm

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

ricklinux · October 11, 2022, 4:48pm

Me either… i use only mouse. I don’t like touch anything, Touchpad, touch screen whatever…

ricklinux · October 11, 2022, 4:50pm

There are 10 types of people. Those that use Gnome and 9 that don’t!

Edit: Once you get your Kde going on there’s no going back! It’s plasma all the way!

limotux · October 11, 2022, 4:53pm

Yes, and seems logical to me as Gnome is a unique experience and design as a desktop.
It may be harder for Gnome guys to convert to KDE, than it is harder for KDE to convert to Gnome.

pebcak · October 11, 2022, 4:53pm

I feel the same on my GNOME!

ricklinux · October 11, 2022, 4:56pm

Kde frameworks 5.99 just came through. Now i wait for Kde Plasma 5.26 You get Gnome 43 yet?

limotux · October 11, 2022, 4:57pm

I hate touch pads, though touch screens for me are just to touch the close, OK, cancel buttons. No more.

pebcak · October 11, 2022, 4:57pm

I am not a “monogamous” ARCH user

I roll with other distros as well

ricklinux · October 11, 2022, 4:59pm

I roll with the Kde Kid’s! We got lots of plasma.

Yeah.
That’s an “in-group” thing!
