    Ugh! I used to only use Gnome. KDE just seemed like a mess. Gnome 3 came out and I tried to like it but decided to take a break. I used classic gnome, mint, xfce and some others that I can't remember. For years I bounced around. Finally, a year ago, I was ready to give Gnome a shot again. I really tried. Learning the quick key commands, then giving into old style habits and getting all the plugins that's made everything just right.

    Two things happened. First, I updated my OS and some of my 3rd party plugins no longer worked. Second, I didn't like how I had to install a bunch of community plugins to get basic desktop functionality. I finally realized that what I wanted from a desktop gui was not what gnome vision is and I was forcing my wants with add-ons.

    I heard that the Steam Deck uses KDE. So I tried KDE and was really impressed. The messy feel that I disliked seemed to be gone. KDE is currently working well for me.

    This is just my experience. I've have read plenty of forums with people who seem to like modern Gnome.

    Would a union be able to repeal this lame IT overtime pay expectation? This dumb rule was the $27.63 over ten years ago too. I once worked at a place and a co-worker was told by his staffing agency that they didn't have to pay overtime.

    I decided to have a green tea because it's healthier than soda. It's healthier, right? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10389239/

    Not labeling and dynamically changing the price of games sucks the fun out of buying. And just makes me want to buy online. Grumpy grump grump.
