  • They have frequent releases that introduce features and bugs, and then they squash them every week.

    A stable distro like Debian will only update KDE once every ~2 years. If the version they use is full of bugs, you’re stuck with it.

    On the other hand you’ve got a DE like xfce that gets a release every few years, and the Devs make sure it’s as reliable as possible to fit that stable release schedule.




  • KDE no doubt. GNOME is a minimalist that depends on extensions to provide basic functionality, while also being a giant fatass. KDE works from the install, provides a sensible workflow, and has better tools.

    But I’d only use KDE on a rolling release or a 6 month release schedule distro. Their approach to development really doesn’t suit stable ones.
