Ah yes, reading my monthly blob of my 900 and still growing games library updates, marvelous. Might need a couple of days to just get halfway through.

And fuck the indie games that relies on direct user feedback by the way, those pesky weekly updates! Stop trying making quality games, folks, someone here is bothered by a notification.

Oh no the lastest update made the game crash on launch? Well, wait for next month patch then, we wouldn’t dare pushing an update notification, that would be horrendous!

Well… it is a feature… we are talking about Arch here, a bleeding edge distro meant to be continuously updated.

Want to update once every couple of decades? Go pick something stable like Debian (also Linux BTW).

No, thank you very much, I like my CVEs and bugs being fixed as soon as possible.

That artifact factory, full of ghosting and stutters is overengineered? I swear Unreal 5 games only looks good when absolutely everything stays still…

Maybe, but 2GB would still be 4 times heavier than my XFCE average, I just wouldn’t use it for a 2 or 4 GB system, other softwares need their RAM too.

I honestly don’t understand why someone would use something like Cinnamon, XFCE or, god forbid, GN*ME instead of KDE Plasma.

RAM usage. I sometime restore machines that just wouldn’t handle KDE. While GNOME is as heavy as KDE, cinnamon is lighter and xfce even more. An average finished KDE setup eats 4GB for me while a cinnamon one uses 1,5GB and an XFCE one 0,5GB. This makes KDE close to unusable on older 2 or 4GB systems.

I tried to use linux on a tablet, I’ve tried GNOME multiple times since it is apparently the best for touchscreen-only devices. This was hell.

As much as I’d love to be able to like that thing I just can’t.

Zero customisability, everything has to be changed through extensions, but the extension manager isn’t even part of GNOME’s core and has to be installed separately.

The settings page is severely lacking so I had to configure everything in .conf files or through CLI directly.

And the whole thing is as stable as a one-legged chair on top of a unbalanced washing machine.

KDE extension crashing : “oupsie a part of your desktop crashed and restarted as fast as possible, hope you didn’t notice”

GNOME extension crashing : “go fuck yourself, I burned your whole session to the ground, log back in and pray you weren’t doing anything worth saving”

In the end I customized KDE to look and behave like GNOME, this way around was surprisingly easier than just making GNOME bearable.

Oh and to the taskbar haters out there : my first computer was running windows 95 so you’ll be taking my taskbar from my cold dead hands, only KDE let me fulfill my dream of putting taskbars absolutely everywhere (even got two perpendicular ones on my bottom monitor)

Splendid! but we’re facing a several years long DRAM shortage, just so you know.
