That sounds like a great visible improvement. Gnome is polished WM.

Does KDE/Plasma offer sthg. comparable?




KDE rolled that out in June last year [0]

IIRC, KDE has had triple buffering for quite a while now. GNOME is playing catchup here.


>comparable

KDE is way ahead in (almost) all departments these days.


bwahahaha

Wishful thinking. I do 1st and 2nd level support on several hundred Linux desktops.

KDE isn't even close to Gnome when it comes to stability and Wayland support -- I mean: seriously? Wayland is a decade old.

And the last time I saw a stable KDE is two decades ago. I'm so annoyed by the crowd recommending it.

I'm tired of DrConqi leaving hundreds of useless systemd units behind and triggering countless alarms. Sucks, big time!


No idea about stability on that scale, I don't do support. On my local machine both behaved about the same in the past.

KDE however is way ahead in fractional scaling, buffering etc. Not sure how to measure Wayland support. Do tell though.

>I'm so annoyed by the crowd recommending it.

Well, Gnome's fault. I've been on team Gnome until they've ruined it after Gnome 2 is ended. Can't really use it with more than one monitor these days too.
