I believe they want to divert all their resources into one huge Fortnite like success story. Something that can bring them a reliable recurring revenue stream.

I’ve had both installed on my machine without issues. Jumped back and forth until I decided Gnome wasn’t for me.

I prefer KDE. It works well out of the box and offers a good amount of customization. I tried gnome for a bit and didn’t like it.

What I like about Linux is that it’s easy to switch between DE. Just try out a few ones until you find something you like. I can recommend looking into Cinnamon (the DE of Mint).

U2 is such a groundbreaking band. They’re the first band who managed to make an album with negative value.

In this case it wasn’t even opt-out. Once the album was on your device it was impossible to get rid of it.
