Comment on How are you using your laptop (with internet) that still runs Windows10?
twoBrokenThumbs@lemmy.world 1 day agoI did not. But that’s basically because I had a similar solution with Mint’s Cinnamon. It’s not off the table, and I might test it out eventually. My computing needs and workflows are changing, and the dust hasn’t quite settled yet.
With that said, do you have any pros you like with plasma over gnome?

No - I prefer gnome. KDE has more “inbuilt” customisability in that you don’t necessarily have to mess about with extensions, but gnome has a large and well enough maintained extensions community that this doesn’t matter. I just thought it’d be more up your alley if you prefer cinnamon, which is also windows-like

Gotcha. Yeah, it’s just a different workflow / mentality I am breaking through. On a laptop the track pad swipes are very natural to me. Whereas on desktop you hit the super key to bring up the main toolbar. Using a mouse I tend to think as point and click for everything which adds a lot of extra movement. Just learning curve on my end and figuring out what I like best (which I am leaning towards gnome at this point). I appreciate the comment though to make sure I knew my options, because it’s not always obvious.
