Did you even read my comment? This has nothing to do with personal preference. It’s a matter of defending a shared commons from a hostile force. Sure, an individual gnome user can coexist with an individual kde user, like seriously who cares its just a DE. But as a community, users of other DEs, WMs and compositors can only “coexist” with the gnome project in the same way that a population of humans can “coexist” with the COVID-19 virus

It’s never about the DE’s themselves, it’s about the devs.

KDE’s devs are just focused on making a cool desktop environment with many features. It’s a little buggy and has some weird design decisions, but whatever, no biggie.

GNOME devs deliberately sabbotage existing linux standards in attemps to take control over desktop linux. Examples: client-side decorations, client-side shadows, systray fiasco.

This is not a question of personal preference. It’s a question of keeping desktop linux free, fair, and accessible for everyone.

Jesus christ people in the comments here are pathetic. This clearly has nothing to do with racial slurs or otaku culture. It’s a play on the totally normal english word “tycoon” which just means “very rich businessman” and “mogul” which is a synonym for “magnate”. You can look these up, every half-decent dictionary has these words. They probably changed it because “coon” is a slur for black people and they didn’t want to cause any misunderstandings. If any of this offends you, please, please just step outside, touch some grass, take a deep breath, relax.
