It always is. The thing with FOSS vs a private company is that internal debates are:
Meaning we not only see the ““drama””, but that it can become more verbally intense. Buuuuut it almost never ends up mattering much to the average user, and when it does, the public certainly won’t learn about it on github or the replies to a toot.
KDE is friendlier to Windows users than GNOME, but Mint is still a good option.
