[DEV] Trying out Chimera Linux
DKnoto:
I tested this distribution some time ago on my Talos II. From my perspective, the most discouraging part is Gnome.
I've been using this DE for more than a decade and with each release it gets worse and worse. Features that I care
about and that were good are disappearing. The stability of add-ons that bring back old functionality is unsatisfactory.
Before they work properly, the version of Gnome changes and the adjustment process starts from the beginning.
This takes more and more work and is frustrating. Add-ons such as DING Gtk4, for example, do not work properly
with an add-on such as Dash-to-Dock. GJS crashes every now and then, normal work becomes an ordeal.
I'm more comfortable with the concept as presented by ravynOS, I'm rooting for this project,
unfortunately at this moment there is no version for ppc64/ppc64le.
ClassicHasClass:
I've migrated to KDE Plasma on Fedora. Nuts to GNOME.
DKnoto:
I haven't used KDE in a long time, about 15 years ;-) I installed KDE on Talos II but I wasn't satisfied,
the graphics handling is somehow weird. When resizing the window, rendering runs terribly slow. But
I will try to play with it again. Configuring KDE to a usable state, I want KDE to look like my macOS
on my laptop, is tedious.
ClassicHasClass:
This is hardly exact, but I'm happy with what I have (combination of a modified KDE and GTK theme, hand tweaks).
