I’m disappointed at how ingrained tribalism is in the desktop Linux landscape and how frequently I have to remind chatters to treat developers from other desktops with kindness and respect

That said, I really liked some aspects of Budgie, I absolutely adore GNOME for others just getting stared, I used to use LXDE/LXQT, and I really appreicate how much KDE lets you do (but found I spent all my time fiddling).
I've not yet tried COSMIC nor Elementary, but like you said, let folks do their thing if it isn't for you, just acknowledge that and move on. Horses for courses, an ass for every seat, and all that.

Als Antwort auf Danielle Foré • • •I wonder if we need a more direct approach there. Like if some super KDE fan constantly trash talks gnome on their gitlab or somewhere else, then that should also be reason enough to remove them from any other Linux desktop community, especially KDE (KDE is just a random example here, I don't want to imply that it's specific to any desktop).
It sometimes feels like we don't speak up enough about it and should more clearly state that none of this is acceptable anywhere at any time.

Als Antwort auf Thom, Itanium™ influencer • • •@thomholwerda yeah.. it's mostly just the users.
But then it's not about specific users either, but more about setting up expectations and somehow not enough people say it's not okay to trash talk specific desktops constantly.
Like sure, some desktop have certain ways of doing it that suck for some users, but some just make it part of their online character to shit talk some desktop 😢

Als Antwort auf McNeely • • •@McNeely @thomholwerda oh yeah, that's exactly what it is, just even more para-social thinking the devs of their fav desktop are their heros/friends/whatever.
It's absurd how entitled they feel sometimes, especially the "Linux is about choice crowd", which are the most toxic of them all as they often use that phrase to literally harass developers.

Als Antwort auf Danielle Foré • • •Most of what you're hearing isn't really about the quality of the various distros. It's more about the insecurities of the speaker and their need to feel smart, important, and valuable. It's just weird animal posturing and you'll see it in every aspect of the world, 'My truck is better', 'this popular song/show sucks and everyone is stupid', that sort of thing.
The easiest solution is to guide them into talking about their own projects and accomplishments. They love that.

Als Antwort auf Danielle Foré • • •I happen to use KDE at the moment because it's the default in the distro I picked, and I'm used to it now.
I'm pleased to welcome fellow linux users regardless of what distro and DE they pick.
The fact there are so many choices is both overwhelming and wonderful.
