Is that really a thing? I don't usually get into discussions about DEs that often, and pretty much never irl. So I haven't seen any general vibe at all.
Like, my impression of kde vs gnome is that they're both very geared towards a more general user that's going to be doing basic things, but with the ability to go more advanced as needed. I kinda assumed they were both going to draw people that are "basic" like the images in the meme for gnome, with cinnamon users also being in that range, where something like xfce would be for folks that want a bit more modularity and "hackiness".
I'm not being a smartass, I just don't really know if there's more to the meme than just a bit of fun or not.
I use KDE plasma because I'm new to Linux but also want something minimal system-wise. I love the programs and the interface. Maybe my opinion would be different if I spent more time with other DE's or used it as my daily driver, but I'm sold on it now.
GNOME is definitely more user-friendly for someone who is moving over from Windows/Mac. I wouldn't recommend KDE to someone who is just going to stick to using one-click apps.
Kde is minimal now? Doesn't it require a GPU? Aren't there animations?
I remember trying it out a few years back on my laptop from 2012 and it was unusably slow. Like 10 seconds just to open the menu.
Xfce ran just fine though. That's a minimal DE.
It's all relative. Ubuntu desktop is minimal compared to Windows, and I've found KDE to run much better than default Ubuntu. It's lightweight for how much it offers.
