Spent lots of time with Gnome 2.
In Dec 2024 I got hooked in Hyprland on Arch and have a cool rice for it. But I’ve tried KDE on desktop now with Parrot OS since Plasma is popular. Still need to find some cool dot files or rice it myself.
I’ve noticed SwayFX getting lots of love lately. I might use that as an option with Plasma but am afraid of conflicts. I’m excited about it since Linux has now officially replaced windows on my gaming rig, which is the very last MS computer left in my house.
I’ve been a GNOME user ever since I made the switch to Linux. Though, like literally over the last couple of days, I’ve been DE/WM-hopping.
The first address was Sway, but it felt (kinda) archaic… And while I’m positive that I’d be able to make it work, I wasn’t entirely sure if it was worth the effort 😅.
So, not long after, I couldn’t bear it anymore and switched to COSMIC. So far, I’m pretty content with it. GNOME required about half a dozen extensions to properly bend to my will. With COSMIC, it pretty much gets there without any external add-ons.
I wish cosmic had proper touchscreen-support like gnome with the touch it extension and custom screen keyboards. also search inside the overview screen. i dont really like the cosmic launcher if there are multiple open windows of the same program.
