Is that really a thing? I don't usually get into discussions about DEs that often, and pretty much never irl. So I haven't seen any general vibe at all.
Like, my impression of kde vs gnome is that they're both very geared towards a more general user that's going to be doing basic things, but with the ability to go more advanced as needed. I kinda assumed they were both going to draw people that are "basic" like the images in the meme for gnome, with cinnamon users also being in that range, where something like xfce would be for folks that want a bit more modularity and "hackiness".
I'm not being a smartass, I just don't really know if there's more to the meme than just a bit of fun or not.
No you're right, it's mostly stereotypes that don't have any real world importance. From my intermediate POV, it comes down to GNOME being a resource hog which the 1337 H4X0Rz don't like. But with most modern systems having more than enough resources to spare, you're not likely to notice unless you're the sort to always have one eye on the system monitor pegged to your desktop. It's an argument for the sake of an argument. I use KDE btw.
It's that gnome isn't configurable at all.
They give you a few options. But they remove them in the next version. Because fuck you.
Which is false. Gnome is as configurable as KDE.
I think KDE has been way more customizable historically
It's a different philosophy. KDE gives you a default setting, and all the options you need to ~~fuck it up~~ customize it.
Gnome gives you the default and an API for extensions to customize it. Install one of the big ones like V-Shell and you'll have more options than you know what to do with.
V-shell basically just gives you KDE-like options.
