I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don’t like but has an alternative?

        Both KDE and Gnome can be seen as pretty bloated. They come pre-packaged with a lot of programs and tools that sit around unused, possibly even having corresponding daemons running for no reason.

        For someone who doesn’t want to think about their computer, and just want to know it’s prepared for anything, they may want that. But if they left windows/mac to have a smaller, simpler OS that isn’t wasting CPU cycles or disk space on superfluous stuff, then KDE/Gnome might not suit them.

        Edit: that said, I’ve heard of a lot of alternative DEs/WMs, but I’ve never heard of JWM. I’ve heard good things about Budgie, might also check that out.

      I’ve used freetaxusa for almost 20 years now. I’m always surprised more people don’t know about it (granted, from the name, it does sound like a total scam).

      Wish we didn’t have to file taxes at all though…we have the technology.
