So the poll ended and I forgot to talk about it.
1462 responses.
57% KDE Plasma.
43% GNOME.
I chuckle when I compare that against the hundreds of comments I get about how "everyone hates GNOME" every time I show it.
I chuckle because apparently a lot of you would use it if it were one of only two options.
I say this as someone who uses both GNOME and KDE Plasma(and others) every day:
Stop yelling about desktop environments, it doesn't help anything.
A 57/43 split in desktop preferences between KDE Plasma and GNOME is essentially even money.
The projects get along with one another and collaborate in a number of areas.
Anyone pushing a grudge between these two projects, IMO, has questionable motives.
Preferences are great! Have them! But don't go making it sound like these are rivals when they're just different corners of the same FOSS camp.
@vkc 0.003% sway
