    Execute “ujust” and marvel at what’s possible right out of the box. If you used KDE check out some simple tips on how to configure cool windows effects. A little wobble makes all the difference. Browse the apps you can install, there are some pretty neat things in there you probably never heard of before.

    And don’t forget: once you got the things you want working, let the system fade into the background. No need to constantly tinker with your distribution unless you enjoy it.

      I’m using GNOME because I like it more

      And yeah, system fading into the background is the end goal

          ⚔️ You just started a war. 😂 KDE > Gnome. 🤭

          I can’t get excited about the Gnome interface. It somehow works in such an unfamiliar way. What is the advantage supposed to be?

            I’ve had to use it in vocational school, and after a few months I started to like it over Windows interface. Later on I’ve touched Xfce and seen people around me use KDE, but still prefer GNOME. I’ve got no idea why.

        I totally agree - distro hoppers who complain about the “nightmare” of finding the right distro are living in a hell of their own making.
