when i started using linux based operating systems for desktop, i had to come to terms with the voice in the community shouting ad nauseam that common desktop environments are bloatware and no serious linux enthusiast uses these

first of all, false. some of the most technically proficient linux users i know are avid plasma fans or staunch gnome disciples

second, it isn't bloatware. if you've got the extra memory, why not use it by making your desktop into something you enjoy looking at?
