I think so. GNOME is more an American thing what you can see from its similarities to the Mac OS desktop layout which is still not that popular in Europe. KDE is also a German project and more similar to the Windows layout. And Windows in the last time often steals ideas from KDE^^
Both have their origin in Europe. openSUSE has its origins in Germany, that’s why it is still very popular there. Mandrake had its roots im France.
I created accounts for both. I found the UI better but clearly the advantage of lemmy is to have apps already. Like in Linux choice is a great thing and if it makes the community bigger, why not? So peace and coexist!
Came here for this. Still impressed although I found the idea strange at first that a pwa could be the best way to browse lemmy.
openSUSE is one of the old desktop oriented distros. I find it somehow similar to the old glorious Mandrake (r.i.p.). Like it it’s a European distro and both of them are relatively KDE centric and so also somehow similar to Windows. So the philosophy behind both of them is to be user friendly in the way you can do relatively much with the central configuration panel.
I switched after getting into a boot stuck after an update. Don’t regret it until now.
That fixes the ads but still the official reddit app is a huge backstep from the now cutoff apps that made browsing reddit a pleasure. It’s just a rippoff off all the terible algorihtm based Facebook, Twitter and Instagram apps that constantly show me posts that i’ve neither subscribed to nor I am interested to see. It’s a shame.
I am a long time DuckDuckGo user. I came for privacy and stayed because of the features.
I downloaded Sync and thought wow nice ui, maybe I sould buy the adless version. Then I thought wtf, why is this so fucking expensive?
