The idea that kde looks bad is laughable... Kde user here lol.

KDE feels like Windows to me. GNOME is something entirely different, it's UI is very touch friendly, only downside is it has old code all over the place.

Used both. Dislike both. Now on i3.

That would be way more accurate with KDE on the left and XFCE on the right. GNOME is completely different (and also, hands down, very ugly) out of the box.

And other memes made by people who have never used KDE.

Gnome and KDE are equally good.

Imo they are both solid technologically, but KDE delivers much more with it's defaults. Obviously you can theme both to hell and back and make them look however you want and get whatever functionality you want, but default KDE is so much more usable than default gnome it's not even a competition.

Or... Gnome works perfectly for people with different workflows and KDE by default is bloated...

Maybe we can agree both are just good?

KDE uses less RAM, you can fact check quite easily.

Depending on the distro it ships with more or less stuff, but a few games, an office suite, media players for audio/video and in some cases a partition manager, are all necessary tools in any setup, at least in my book.

I don't see the bloat.

Plasma itself isn't bloated, it is only bloated if you install the entire suite of KDE applications. Installing plasma by itself doesn't require that many dependencies.

GNOME has a similar level of optionals for their desktop environment as well, you're just expected to actually INSTALL them.

I didn't honestly say it was. I was being sarcastic to make a point.
