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.

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.

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.
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.
Bro offered a truce, why not take it?
Plasma and GNOME both have legitimate uses, no one is objectively better than the other.
First, I wasn’t the person “bro” responded to.
Second, they said Gnome works fine and KDE is bloated by default, implying Gnome isn’t bloated. Which it certainly is, which I said.
A person can’t just say, “you’re ugly as fuck, but let’s just agree to disagree” and have it be a truce.
