Both are meh. I wanted to love KDE but it always lets me down. Cinnamon has been great, running a fedora spin with it now. Sway has been calling my name tho.
Gnome apps are better than KDE apps. GParted vs partition manager, for example. Dolphin sucks eggs next to Nemo too.
Just my incorrect opinions obviously. Use the stuff ya like.
I love nemo, with the terminal extension, it’s the perfect file manager.
I use it on gnome though.
With just arcmenu, dash to panel, and tophat, gnome becomes pretty solid for me, everything else is just a bonus
dropdownterminal, I think openbar for color and border customization, timer in topbar for self timing work assignments, appstatus whatever its called for the background apps to show up, it does rely on extensions, but I see that as a bonus, it’s up to you how complicated you want your setup to be
Burnmywindows ofc
I also think its great for handhelds, have dash to panel and arcmenu there too but configured differently. On the left side and resized larger with less options and one of the larger grid options for arc menu
Really? I remember Nemo being my favorite GTK file manager, but that was some years ago.
When I started using Dolphin I thought that it was the best file manager I’ve ever used. I still think that, but as mentioned above, I’ve not tried Nemo in years.
Honestly I’d start with the default config file to see if you like the general workflow and then begin modifying as you see fit. That’s how I started way back when I first learned i3.
Maybe first replace it’s default swaybar with the more customizable waybar.
You may fail to understand this if you are not a programmer but Dolphin is somehow both singleton and multi instance.
Its messy code is mostly made for single instance meanwhile there can be multiple dolphin instances.
The most basic way to observe this is to simply open a second dolphin window in a different folder. New Dolphin will bring tabs from the old Dolphin likely because it thinks those are previously closed tabs meanwhile nothing changes in old Dolphin window. What a mess.
Just tested ‘the most basic way’ and it doesn’t has this behaviour neither on my machine, nor in vm. Are you sure that it isn’t just something that you configured? Anyway it’s one of the best file managers.

Gparted isn’t a gnome app, it’s a standalone app. Dolphin can do everything that nemo does. 🙃

Happy sway user here! Not sure I could ever go back to a floating window manager. I’m too used to tiling now.
Any advice? Or some good dot files / configs / guide you used?

How dare you :P Dolphin is great; always use Gnome-Disks though (and GParted Live in the times of yore)
