  • It just has this beige win 7 look, that is somehow both new and old at the same time. You dont have the Macros and Costumisation of Plasma, but you also dont have the rigidness and tablet-style interface of Gnome. You dont have the ressource friendlyness of xfce. The only thing it has is that it can both render qt and gtk in its own style, but xfce already does that with its very win xp like interface, which both qt and gtk have themes for

    I agree with this kinda but I find Cinnamon more comfortable to use then Xfce but I could use xfce


  • I started using linux with dual boot in June 2024 where I installed Fedora/Fedora immutable kde and bazzite.
    Tried GNOME on my brother’s old Laptop but using Extensions for changing one thing(and breaking every update) was annoying I have been using Fedora till I stumbled across CachyOS I switched to Cinnamon around this time from KDE I found kde kinda Buggy (heard it’s Nvidia or smth) and it just felt uncomfortable Around December 2024 Where I used Linux full time (no windows dual boot) this is when I found Cachyos (or arch variants) and Cinnamon comfortable the only problem is that Cinnamon doesn’t have Vrr,HDR and Wayland for me but I use Gamescope if I need vrr and HDR

    • Heroic Games Launcher
    • Prism Launcher
    • latest Java lts (either from adoptium or openjdk i dont care about flashy new features)

    • QEMU/KVM with virt manager
    • Gnome evolution (if it’s gtk desktop I could opt for other email clients)
    • Proton-GE
    • WINE
    • Ghostty(Kinda sucks it’s based on libadwaita and gnome forces this theme on you no matter your desktop)
    • Fish/ZSH(fish not having posix compatibility is kinda annoying)
