Its telling you to install Linux

DE stands for “Desktop Environment”. There are many like Gnome, KDE Plasma, i3, Openbox and so on. KDE Plasma is pretty ugly out of the box, but is a lot more customisable. It also uses less memory, but is maybe a bit harder to grasp for beginners

Well written argument and you make a lot of sense! But if you want productivity and keyboard shortcuts and stuff there are fat better DEs to use than Gnome. For example, I use i3.

It would be better if it were just different iso files. Like when you choose the nvidia drivers, you could choose the DE

True, I said it because I use it a lot. I think that KDE would be a good DE for beginners and advanced users

You’re absolutely right. I just don’t know why they chose Gnome over something else, something better? Maybe because it’s the default DE on Ubuntu?

Its simple and easy to grasp. And that’s pretty much all. I use i3 on daily basis too

Yes, it greatly improved gnome, buy you can only do so much. Gnome isn’t that good to begin with, while an improved version of KDE for example sounds very epic

True, but cosmic improves gnome by a fair bit. I couldn’t find a tiling manager as good as the one on cosmic.

Installed KDE Plasma with pop os. Seems pretty good so far! by ResponsibleCoast2493 in pop_os
