    The Linux community is united! (Unless you mention Rust, or Wayland, or systemd, or Snap, or GNOME, or…)

        There’s an ongoing debate tantrum about introducing Rust code to the kernel. Some people are pushing for it, some people have made it their life’s purpose to make sure that doesn’t happen, it has led to a wave of maintainers resigning, and Linus is sitting with his thumb up his arse when his leadership is needed.

        I used to prefer Gnome for the longest time. It seemed to be lighter on resources and cleaner. I tried KDE again a few years ago and was blown away at how much better it has gotten. KDE has quickly become my go to. The ease of customization, theming, and the wealth of settings sold me on it.

        I ought to go back and try Gnome again since it’s been a few years. I’m sure they’ve gotten better too since I last used them.

    I honestly hated idea of linux for soooo long. Ew. Like ew. Doesn’t work, borks, needs command line, wtf is that steaming pile of…yeah. Ew.

    But insert the goddamn bird with cracker meme after I tried Nobara last year (tried some other distros too). When Windows 10 loses support, I am pretty confident that Nobara will fill most of my needs.

    And, well, have some IT experience, with linux too, so occasional terminal isn’t that bad. I was simply afraid of constantly having to work in terminal.

    Windows is only better for you if you have a high-end Nvidia GPU and/or like having a good HDR implementation (KDE’s HDR support is a joke by comparison). If neither apply to you, then there’s no reason to ever use Windows.

    That said, from what I’ve seen since I joined Lemmy, most people here couldn’t give a single fuck about HDR. In fact, every time I even bring it up, I get nothing but hostility from the community (cause how dare I dual boot instead of using Arch fulltime? *sigh*).

    You’re missing out on a colorful image that more closely resembles real-life (clouds and sunsets look especially beautiful in HDR), but if you’ve never experienced it before then I can understand why the general opinion around here is that HDR is useless. I mean, I used to think that VA panels had good contrast and that IPS had superior colors, until I got a 4K144Hz HDR OLED… Hell, at one point I used to think that 60 FPS looked smooth too…

    Anyway, that’s the end of my little rant. You can go ahead and downvote me now.

    Windows is better… if you need game compatibility, slave in Office or Adobe, have a Nvidia card, wants HDR and or fractional scaling…

    Everything else, it’s pure unadulterated garbage…
