Changing Desktop Environments?

[ryo]

I feel like this is where most people are. Most people much prefer the look and feel of both Lomiri or Plasma Mobile but Phosh is more stable so it wins out. I've been daily driving it since September and I know I couldn't possibly do that with Plasma Mobile but man, do I wish I could. Phosh has plenty of design decisions that I can't stand and they don't seem to care much what the community thinks. The moment Plasma Mobile is stable enough I will be jumping on board and leaving Phosh behind forever.

To me it's not really about the looks, but rather usability, stability, hardware resources, and who it's being backed by.

Phosh is made by Purism, which is alright, but it's a shell to Gnome, which is owned by Red Hat which is owned by IBM which created systemd which is an attempt at a hostile takeover of Linux by pretty much all the bad guys most people escaped from.

Plamo is very unstable and slow, it's made by KDE which has bend the knee big time to wokeness, which is a hostile takeover by the same bad days as mentioned above on the cultural, sanity, and civilisational level.

Lomiri is rock solid and created by UBPorts which to my knowledge is pretty much independent, but desktop apps don't run on it without virtualization.

SXMO (and SWMO) is made by Suckless, which actually I believe are awesome people, but lots of features they include is pretty useless if you're not in America, the keyboard sucks hard, and trying to run Gajim made me give up on it let's just say.
