 If you follow my channel, you know that I recently, four months ago, switched to GNOME to try it out and I've done a couple of videos about it and giving like my thoughts and impressions. Now I'm switching back to KD Plasma and not because I dislike GNOME but you know KD Plasma is what I is what I work on most of the time and I actually really like it so it was necessary after a bit to come back but a good question would be why now exactly and the answer to that is 5.25 because when I first started using GNOME I was actually blown away by some features that it had like that overview was really good the overview effect which is is it called overviewing GNOME right yeah when you press the metakey and also gestures were super amazing so my first thought was like okay I'm gonna stay here for quite some time because it's really good but KD Plasma just improved a lot in this month so maybe I should do that more often but I mean seriously now KD Plasma has one-to-one touch but gestures that are really good the Wayland KD Plasma session is so stable I have had zero issues with it whatsoever and it has a new overview effect that's like pretty cool to say the least so I'm actually really happy really really happy with what KD Plasma is doing and when I switch back to KD Plasma nowadays to do a development because I've always used GNOME daily and then switch to KD Plasma for actual development I'm I feel just more at home and I feel I don't have the feeling anymore that KD Plasma is lagging behind compared to GNOME in certain aspects like beauty and gestures and the overview now KD Plasma is really pretty I'm also really proud to have implemented the floating panel which makes me happy it has a lot of blur and everything because I contributed to that as well and the new gestures are amazing so 5.25 just convinced me instantly to go back so yeah the second question is well what do you think of the experience with GNOME and that is it has been really nice actually I'm leaving behind GNOME but not in a bad way at all I actually really liked the extensions concept there's a however I really like them because they actually worked very nicely out of the box and they allowed me to customize much more than I thought at the same time GNOME does have some issues with like compatibility bringing extensions from all the versions to the newer ones I was lucky enough to not have any issues switching from 40 to 42 but maybe if you stay GNOME for a longer period of time switching between periods might be switching between versions sorry might be a bigger issue I've also had some bugs which I think were caused by some extensions and they shouldn't have as an example it literally often happened to me that the top bar was completely going inactive and responsive that was weird it didn't annoy me that much but still so extensions cool concept there are some dubs in my opinion in the actual implementation still there's also everything about theming I just love Kiri Plasma theming so that's where my heart is GNOME does have some theming to some extent but with the whole don't theme my up thingy I don't fully agree with that personally but overall nothing of this is GNOME's fault really maybe some bugs but for the bigger things it's just that me personally I'm better fit for Kiri Plasma than GNOME on the long term so I'm back and actually I do have a question for y'all which is I've used Ubuntu for the last four months because that's what came out of the box on this machine with GNOME installed by the way this was a linux laptop Adele and now that I'm switching back to Kiri Plasma I'm actually wondering how to do that I do have a couple of options the first option is to keep my computer as is currently which is having GNOME provided by the distribution normally and then also having Kiri Plasma which is not actually provided by the distribution I didn't install it it's actually built directly from source which is super useful because you know actually developing stuff is easier if you have everything built from source and always updated to master it also means that it's super unstable I can deal with that but it might be nicer to have a stable and an unstable Kiri Plasma versions and I'm not sure if the Kiri Plasma provided by Ubuntu is the best way to approach this maybe it is have you ever tried installing Ubuntu with GNOME out of the box and then later on installing Kiri Plasma did it work well I don't know the other option obviously is just do a backup and kill off this operating system and switch to something else which might be Kubuntu which might be Kedinion which might be Fedora which might probably not be Manjaro but I actually like how my files are okay I don't have another drive to backup currently so every time I have to switch to something else it's kind of pain also all of the configuration files I just don't want to switch to something else if I could so I don't know what would you suggest like should I try to use Ubuntu as it is now maybe sometimes if I want to try something I'll switch back to GNOME since I mean it's there I would prefer not to try to uninstall GNOME from Ubuntu GNOME in the past that killed my operating system in the past I'm having very bad flashbacks will I do this again yes actually I will do this again as soon as my startup light which was donated to me and that's amazing arise then I will try out and let me try your OS as my main OS for a bit I don't know how much one month two four eight twelve sixteen I don't know and so the next one that I'm trying out is Elementor OS just to you know keep in touch if you do have some desktops to suggest suggest them but I think that GNOME Elementor OS and KD Plasma are like the main competitors GNOME and KD Plasma mainly but Elementor OS is really good too and I never actually used Elementor OS as much as should have like I had used GNOME before Elementor OS not quite I just tried it for a couple of hours which is not enough so I'm really looking forward to actually trying Elementor OS and seeing if it fits me probably not better than KD Plasma but that's not the point by the way I'm so sorry that you're just staring at a blank desktop however this is just me sharing what my current plans are and there was nothing to actually illustrate them so forget about the desktop and focus on me and that was actually everything so thank you for watching if you have any suggestion comment them I will go through all of the comments and see you tomorrow with a new video
