Im curious what makes you say this?
I switched to KDE a couple months ago after updating to ubuntu 25.10 and finding out gnome is forcing wayland going forward, but most of my daily used applications dont work on wayland at all. KDE will atleast still support X11 for another couple years.
I really wish I could go back to gnome as I just really don’t like how little KDE has thought about multi monitors with its bottom panels/task managers.
I’m not sure I follow your gripe about multi monitor handling. You can add completely independently customized toolbars and set up the task manager to show icons for windows just on that screen or on all screens.
I daily drove gnome for a few months, but it was back in like 2014. What features make it better for multi monitor setups?
That is my gripe haha. I don’t want independent bars, I have five monitors and every little change has to be done four more times and it’s infuriating lol. I want to be able to sync them like I can with dash to panel on gnome, but KDE handles it in such an odd way that it’s even hard to script cloning the task bar changes to other monitors.
The way gnome is built around extensions makes it very likely that if you have a pain point, someone smart enough to make an extension to fix it probably did too. I was able to make a very comfortable experience with it.
I also really miss ArcMenu :( I tried so many KDE menu themes and they are just so janky
Ohhhh okay, I suppose that’s fair enough lol. I hate having the same taskbars on every screen, so it makes sense that this behavior wouldn’t have really been noticed. I’m really surprised that there isn’t a way to mirror taskbar setups, til.
Yeah im originally a windows boy lol. I grew up with it, and now I just cannot stand not being able to see everything on all monitors. It’s one of the major reasons I haven’t been able to get used to virtual workspaces / virtual desktops. Something about a window being hidden off into the void until I switch over to it just doesn’t work for me
i would also like to know what you mean. i daily both gnome and kde, gnome is by far the worse performer when it comes to multi monitor stuff. it’s more of a power user tablet interface, with great gesture and multitouch support. kde meanwhile just lets you put anything anywhere.
My issue is when editing a panel there is no way to sync that change to all your other panels. I have five monitors and any new change (pin new app, hide something from tray, appearance change, trying new menu theme) needs to be manually done to every other panel too. It’s alot of effort when you don’t even know if you like the change yet.
is the “clone panel” button in panel settings not enough? gnome doesn’t even allow miltiple panels.
