I'm pretty noviceand will certainly offend someone with this statement but I thought KDE was Windows-like (task bar, start menu, etc) and Gnome was Mac-like (permanent menu bar across top, dock).

The screen shot seems to remind me of Gnome rather than KDE. What are the benefits of configuring KDE to look like Gnome?

[–] torbjoern@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

I'd say a benefit is that one can achieve the workflow of GNOME or macOS while having the configurability of KDE at one's disposal.

Well understandable , since thats the default look. But KDE is one of the most customizable DE, you could make it look like anything you want.

I run Gnome (Ubuntu currently) and have minor stability issues. I also just... kinda don't like it. Previously I was running Fedora and liked it more but again, stability issues (which was what I was hoping to solve moving to Ubuntu).

Do you have any suggestions for a novice friendly distro that has (or can easily be set up to have) a dock and hot corner window switching like gnome under KDE?

It exist a spin of fedora and ubuntu with a KDE desktop but you could just install KDE on you existing ubuntu desktop https://itsfoss.com/install-kde-on-ubuntu/

If Microsoft designed MacOS

That's already Windows 11.

[–] Ascend910@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is if Apple designed Windows

[–] ehrenschwan@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Oh right, yeah.
