⚙️ Which Desktop Environment Do Arch Linux Users Prefer
｢ KDE Plasma dominates Arch Linux installations by a wide margin. The latest pkgstats results place the KDE Plasma desktop at 38.36%, nearly doubling the share of GNOME, which sits at 19.84%. This gap has widened steadily over the past three years, marking Plasma’s strongest position in the dataset’s history. ｣

GNOME users don't have to reinstall so often i guess 😇

I will be streaming #KDE docs stuff today in 45 minutes!
Probably going to add a Branding section to Develop this time.

We're looking for some fine folks who would be willing to host Linux App Summit in April 2026 specifically we are looking for countries in Europe. If you're interested in hosting, please DM me. :)

The BSDs are *awesome* operating systems. #FreeBSD is a high performance general purpose OS. It is modern #Unix. #NetBSD is for portability, it supports nearly every CPU architecture under the sun. #OpenBSD is security-focused. #GhostBSD is a FreeBSD fork focused on the desktop.
Most of my experience is with FreeBSD, which I will enthusiastically share. It is unquestionably a solid server OS. As a desktop OS, it works quite well. It definitely does not feel like "Linux from 2004." The major desktop environments like #KDE #GNOME #XFCE are all supported and #nvidia releases drivers for the OS too. Modern hardware is supported. For *cutting edge hardware*, #Linux may be the better bet here. It's a little slower to adopt cutting edge gear because it is focused on stability and elegant solutions, not trend-chasing.
FreeBSD is an excellent OS to learn. It runs beautifully and it's more coherent and better designed. Documentation is *solid*.
Edit: Corrected errors. GhostBSD, not DragonflyBSD. Thanks @aru

@scottjenson this is configurable in #KDE's #Dolphin and defaults to middle eliding.
My Ubuntu Summit talk is up! Where I talk about:
1. How Desktop UX is effectively dead
2. Why I hate the term UX/UI with the heat of 1000 suns
3. How OSS can actually innovate in #ux
Thank you so much @scottjenson to encourage us to "color outside the lines" 😌
I tried to drag and drop a file from a window behind in #KDE and that work perfectly as you said in the video ^^

Very impressive to see KDE doing such a great job of fundraising! So far they've reached 279% of their goal on the year end campaign. Well done! I hope the sharing in the FOSS community also goes to sharing information and experience for how to do a successful fundraiser campaign, so that more projects can learn from this.
