KDE vs GNOME

Anonymous Sat 04 Jan 2025 22:14:28 No.1508280 View View Reply Original Report

Got sick of simplistic GNOME so I got KDE

I'm overwhelmed. Feeling anxious, autistic, angry. Everything looks wrong, feels wrong, is full of menus...
Everything is just broken, as you need to manually configure everything. It will take MONTHS to make this thing useable. Dolphin is ugly.
For some reason global theme downloading doesnt work, it gives me some kind of "all categories missing" error
Tried to manually install themes and they just change the taskbar and nothing else.

Ah shit, how do I return to comfy GNOME? I have both installed now, but gnome looks like crap, it inherits half of the settings from KDE and is now some kind of hybrid.

I'm OP and I was using POP OS

So here's what happened:
1. Uninstall KDE
2. Everything seems fine
3. Reboot pc
4. There's no desktop environment to go back to, you get a black screen and a blinking white cursor
5. Realize the stupid OS cant fetch GNOME because there's now no default DE set

Had to format hard drive thanks to this.

Installing multiple DEs on the same OS is a fool's endeavour. The next time you want to try a different DE, install a separate distro for that DE, and make a separate user too if you decide to share the same home partition.

I think that's systemd based.

No you didn't. Press ctrl+alt+f3 to switch to a hopefully unused console. If there's no login screen, switch to different consoles until you find one (alt+left or right or ctrl+alt+function keys). Enter your root username and password (or your own username and password, then run below with sudo or sudo su first)
Use whatever package manager poop os comes with to ensure GNOME and GDM are installed, then run:
systemctl enable gdm
This will start GDM (GNOME's login screen) at startup on the default console. I assume that's what you're looking for. I'm not sure about systemd; it might start the service immediately after enabling it, but if not, run:
systemctl start gdm

Fool's errand. And not really. Using multiple DEs is just retarded. Depending on what you need to do, using a DE at all is retarded.
