Popular opinion seems to be that #GNOME and #KDE are "fighting/competing."

Sure we have our differences in philosophies and design, but it's way more akin to siblings having small spats. But in the end we are siblings in #FOSS family and I like GNOME folks a lot. And if anyone attacks my siblings, I'm there to defend them.

We can and we should work together as much as possible, not just GNOME or KDE but all other DE's too like #Budgie and #XFCE to be the best computing experience possible.

It's not perfect and it's never gonna be because perfection is unattainable, but perfect is also enemy of good.

Let's keep doing our best. Together.

Edit: happy pride! And trans rights are human rights.

the idea that GNOME/KDE/other desktop environments are "competing" among each other implies that we're all fighting to get the majority of 1-5% of Linux PC users, which is patently ridiculous. GNOME has been trying to get to the remaining 90% of PC users for the past 20 years, and that applies to KDE, Xfce, etc. as well.

@ebassi exactly this. It’s been several times where I’ve been asked in interviews about competing with other distros and DEs and I always say that we’re not doing that. We’re competing with Windows, macOS, iPad OS etc
