A picture of Lara Croft in new Tomb Raider hand in hand with Lara Croft from the old Tomb raider Series. The new one labeled GNOME and the old one 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?
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.
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.
Is it? Gnome loads in a ton of services and feels pretty bloated to me. I don't notice that it's any lighter than KDE, and it often feels more sluggish.
But, they're both desktops and are loading in a bunch of stuff whether you use it or not, so you're right that they're pretty comparable.
Used both. Dislike both. Now on i3.
I like the template but the KDE GUI is simply beautiful, and looks very modern, so this is not really a real thing
i think is reversed... but it's ok
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.
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.
I feel like this is used either by someone who hasn't used KDE in a decade or has been using Linux (Ubuntu) for less than a year.
The worst thing you can say about KDE is that the default configuration is pretty basic. However, that's arguably a good thing because that format is straight up better for productivity.
KDE has also embraced user choice. Not only do they design the desktop and applications to be much more configurable than GNOME. A power user can customize KDE in a way that seems to personally offend GNOME developers. In addition, KDE 5 designed their libraries in a way that other DEs can leverage them while still doing their own thing. I haven't kept up, but at one point that was a huge boon to LxQT development.
Above all else, the KDE team seems a lot more reasonable than the GNOME team. Over the past decade, KDE has worked hard to rebuild trust after their disastrous 4.0 rollout. Meanwhile in that same period four different groups of developers have decided to go their own way because they felt the GNOME team was impossible to work with.
Have you ever used either?
To say they're reversed is pushing it as I'm not sure gnome is at the level of the low poly lara yet
The idea that kde looks bad is laughable... Kde user here lol.
