    Oh yes, the desktop in where it comes broken by default and you have to fix it (and sometimes needing obscure extensions which will break the next month).

    KDE had Neon for ages!

      We already have Fedora for that. The effort going into duplicating work (the bane of linux ecosystems) could go into actual work on the desktop itself. It's been in pre-alpha for 9 years.

        If they have any beta versions and if it's easy set up in a virtualized system, I'd love to check it out. It'd be nice to see what's coming down the pipeline before the other distros get it.

            Surprised that tildearrow didn't catch that one.

              I think this is for even more bleeding-edge testing...

                I bet you want GNOME OS to replace all distributions in existence. Heck, perhaps even rename it to 144Hz OS.

                Working? Show me the work on fixing UX?

                  Wow, so the "honorary editor" starts the thread with an inflammatory "KDE is better than Gnome" post - classy!

                  Just to quote yourself from the "Ban 144Hz" thread:
                  The problem is that his posts feel like advertising... and people who pay to be in the premium club don't deserve that...

                    But they remove features for the burden of maintenance they cause... Go figure!
