I have tried both kde and gnome many times and i can’t stand either one. I’m forever stuck in cinnamon.
somehow every distro that ships with kde has tons of big bugs that I can’t figure out (probably related to my setup), and gnome feels like a tablet UI. cinnamon won’t autosuspend but it’s the smallest headache of these…
I have actually been itching to do that, but I read that it messes up cinnamon so there’s no going back and I don’t have the time to do a full reinstall now. btw what happens to all the software you have installed? do they stay and still work properly?
I have no clue what the issues are with Cinnamon getting messed up, but mine works just fine still. Even went back to using it for a bit when changing my monitor setup broke KDE for a bit (some poller service wasn’t getting the responses it was expecting and it kept messing up the resolutions and disconnecting one of them until I figured it out and turned it off)
I’ve tried really hard to like GNOME, but god damn we don’t get along. Debian 12 is solid AF though.

Funny enough Cinnamon is Gnome 3 done right.
And I agree gnome in general has its sore points, I’m just used to them.
I found that for me installing KDE Plasma on Mint is peak. I’m using it like this since the Mint 22 Beta.
What was the issue with kubuntu?
