A picture of Lara Croft in new Tomb Raider hand in hand with Lara Croft from the old Tomb raider Series. The new one labeled GNOME and the old one KDE.
And other memes made by people who have never used KDE.

Gnome and KDE are equally good.
Imo they are both solid technologically, but KDE delivers much more with it's defaults. Obviously you can theme both to hell and back and make them look however you want and get whatever functionality you want, but default KDE is so much more usable than default gnome it's not even a competition.
i think is reversed... but it's ok
Have you ever used either?
To say they're reversed is pushing it as I'm not sure gnome is at the level of the low poly lara yet
I used Gnome for years and can honestly say that if you put a lot of effort into it, mess with configs, and install a few extras, it rises to a new level of kind of shitty but usable.
Fuck, KDE was pretty a decade ago, and Gnome is still just plugging away, being the bare minimum.
One thing I'll give gnome, it's really good for 2-in-1s. The desktop metaphor works really well for tablet and trackpad use out of the box.
I honestly don’t really see it, I think vanilla GNOME looks amazing, while KDE Plasma just screams Windows 7 to me.
Having said it that, both are great DE’s with vastly different approaches. So these can definitely just co exist, while we can both agree that both DE’s are great for different people and workflows.
Used both. Dislike both. Now on i3.
Same, but I ended on Hyprland
Used i3 for years, tried bspwm. Liked the concept - absolutely loathed the community. Ended on herbstluftwm.
If Wayland ever fixes hdpi scaling, I'll be looking for something that works the same way: configuration is entirely through scripting, not config files. I don't think I'll ever give that up, now that I've discovered it.
It looks like hyprland uses config files, right?
Everyone here is super salty, meanwhile I just thought this was suggesting that GNOME is like a rounder KDE
That would be way more accurate with KDE on the left and XFCE on the right. GNOME is completely different (and also, hands down, very ugly) out of the box.
KDE feels like Windows to me. GNOME is something entirely different, it's UI is very touch friendly, only downside is it has old code all over the place.
Out of the box, maybe, but kde is super customizable to be how you want it. I think gnome can do that too, but it feels much more opinionated and all I ready about is install scripts that break. (I haven’t tried gnome in years though)
I like the template but the KDE GUI is simply beautiful, and looks very modern, so this is not really a real thing
The idea that kde looks bad is laughable... Kde user here lol.
