KDE is perfectly sufficient for my needs.

I'm actually praising that, since many Linux users care what desktop environment, what editor do others use. Just use what you want.

Look at the BSDs, they care about technical issues.

Well I'm still going to tell you that gnome is bad software both from the user experience and their unwillingness to implement basic features, and that you should be using helix.

I also don't like systemd but nixos happens to use it and I usually don't have to deal with it so meh.

Look at the BSDs, they care about technical issues.

I do, too. But only when I'm working on it. Otherwise, as long as stuff just works, I'm perfectly happy to keep the bonnet closed. That was quite different in my early days, I actually daily-drove linux from scratch in the early 00s, but at some point you either decide to become an OS developer, or you lose interest.

Side note there's actually a project brining the glory of nix to the BSDs.

Why are some people like this… No, Gnome, KDE or some other stuff is not obviously bad, otherwise there wouldn't be tons of people that really do know the different options be using and enjoying it. Just let people use it. You can list advantages and disavantages and why you personally prefer something else, but don't call it outright bad or insult the users…

Just let people use it.

In fact many "linux user" won't tolerate others' software :)
