Compared to the rise of LLMs, containers are positively old hat now
You know, this statement makes the author sound like they think LLMs should replace containers, or that development of better containers is passé because of New and Shiny Things.
Please take care not to sound like a project manager when doing tech journalism.
Plasma is not replacing Gnome in Fedora Workstation.
And it doesn’t need to anyway, the plasma spin works great and there’s no real sign of it being treated as a second class citizen in terms of development/support from the Fedora team.
So far seem to be an uneventful upgrade.
Defaulting to wayland for KDE6 on a nvidia GPU doesn’t seem to have broken anything
Tbh I am fully behind KDE as flagship desktop. Dealing with GNOME users problems all day in the forum, KDE is just better for usability?
GNOME is reduced over the amount that makes sense. KDE could use a bit of reduction, but not as much as GNOMEs. People need the Terminal or random extensions for basic things, this is not a good experience.
On the other hand, GNOME and KDE both have really nice features, GNOME with their Microsoft integrations being particularly powerful (their account system works at all, unlike KDEs which I think nobody uses. But when using Thunderbird, which has standalone Exchange support, you dont use that account system anyways so it doesnt matter again).
Also GNOME has like all their apps on Flathub. GNOME Boxes is particularly crazy, having sandboxed virtualization. This means you can mix match GNOME Flatpaks on a KDE desktop without any problems, KDE even handles the theming for you. On GNOME on the other hand… it actively breaks Qt apps, its insane.
So I think GNOME has some great apps (snapshot, decoder, simplescan, carburetor, celluloid …) but you can install them anywhere.

It seems not unimaginable that whichever is more popular (/the default) will have more people reporting problems in the forum, regardless of how good it is?

GNOME looks better out of the box and configuring KDE can be very tricky. There are also a lot of outdated “addons” for KDE and you need some in order to get what you want. extensions are better integrsted in KDE but it’s not like KDE has everything out of the box. I’d love to see more KDE support.
I think KDE looks great out of the box, includes all the extensions I want, and is easy to configure.
That’s good :)
True. KDEs virtual desktops are also basically unusable for me, idk I just dont see them so they are not used.
There are pros and cons. Its simply a tie, I stay with KDE because the lack of some things (like close buttons with the hitbox in the very edge) would annoy me.
This is my issue with KDE. Virtual Desktops are too unnecessarily convoluted to use. Even Alt-Tabbing is a pain if you have anything over 1 single workspace. I decided to daily drive KDE for a few months to give it a good chance, because before I would usually just go back to Gnome after a few days. It’s been 2 months now, and I don’t think I can take much more of it.
Their Plasma 6 overview is great, just needs the panel displayed or even an app menu and it could be similar to GNOME.
I actually tweaked it to be more “gnome-like”, but the desktops are a hot mess. At the end of the day, it’s a matter of taste, and I’m a huge fan of Gnome’s simplicity.
I keep finding myself drifting back to XFCE
could become future flagship
Was proposed, but seems unlikely as Fedora/RedHat does a lot in the Gnome eco-system.
I’d try fedora if it had a different name.
Bluefin is basically fedora with a different name.
Wait, what’s wrong with Fedora? In terms of terrible names that’s pretty low. There code name system used to horrific before the discontinued
Yeah it’s just name bias. I can’t unsee that one particular fedora guy picture when I read it.
I miss when it was called Fedora Core.
All hail compiz 3d cube lol
