Gnome is the most comfy of the non-non-minimalist DEs.

gnome is the most keyboard-driven de out there

I know, they just now introduced a revolutionary feature: desktop icons

...why?

It's a revolutionary way of managing your workflow better. Imagine, now you can icons of your favorite programs the way you like! Now you can use different corners of the screen for different categories of programs!
I wonder, what will GNOME developers make next? Could be a revolutionary way of managing your tasks?

or i hit superkey and type like 2-3 letters and literally enter and get what I want without looking and pecking at some icon.

Given how stagnant xfce is I’m starting to prefer gnome these days

It started off really bad in the 90s. It looked like a knock off Amiga. Then it slowly got better through through the 2.x releases. Then it became a garbage fire with the 3.x releases. They ignored all their users and shoved some broken javascript turd down everyone's throats.

Cant even into battery life as good as winblows 10. It's trash

You don't even need to remember the name ofyour program anymore with Desktop icons!

No (yes)

desktop icons in gnome haven't been a thing in years
if your gnome experience is ubuntu, which I'm guessing most people are, then you're getting some shitty overthought middleground between what news want and what gnome does.

its cool if you like having a 30px horizontal useless bar on the top of all your app

Not as good as KDE, that's for sure.

if you could ignore the bugs and insane ram used it's the best because overview
otherwise it's crap because unfixed bugs for 10+ years

>it gets better every release.
the new control center is unironically not better

It can be pretty without much tweaking, and feels kind of nice, but it's so locked down. I think that excellent Wayland support is the only thing it's really got going for it, besides a weather app that doesn't eat ass.

yes, it's garbage

I don't think so. It's very customizable, there are hundreds of useful extensions and good looking themes. Only parts of default GNOME desktop I don't like are Nautilus and the meme file picker, but I love the Shell/DE itself.

no

High resource usage, liberal use of python and javascipt, memory leaks, confusing config. Otherwise, it's pretty much what all the minimalist tiling window fags really want.

I use budgie, it's a sane de with sane user interface using the GNOME stack. Recommend

what's wrong with Nautilus? I like it

It's much slower than the default file managers from lightweight DEs (Thunar, PcmanFM, Caja, etc.). There's an annoying delay every time I change folders that just doesn't happen with any other file manager.

I'm trying to use Gnome with extensions to give me a proper task panel and categorized applications menu, but using extensions seems to have a lot of compatibility issues. Or maybe Gnome is now just that buggy. I'm wondering if I should just use KDE, or at least Plasma, since what I want for my workflow is there by default.

>That posture
wtf are her managers doing

> It's very customizable
No, we're talking about Gnome.

yes but the alternatives are worse

Budgie doesn't look too bad, but how is it for customization? Does it have anything akin to plasmoids?

if you are looking for that "proper" task panel and categorized menu, try kde, xfce, mate, cinnamon, etc.
those delusional people believe that the peak of the desktop was win95, you may like it.
meanwhile gnome left the past behind, and developed a modern desktop strongly influenced by WMs (you need to use the keyboard, forget about the mouse) that works in high resolutions, multiple monitors, render/scale fonts perfectly, is efficient and does not get in your way.

i get why people dislike it, though i personally enjoy it. i wouldn't run it on a low powered machine of any stripe, tho, due to the horrendous performance as a result of terrible process division across the environment.

applications and the DE are more or less visually consistent and polished like in no other DE. neat.
some decisions are arguably better than others, but i have immense respect the intensive work designers have put into things.
if dont like defaults, piss easy to customize, can easily make windows make behave just like in Windows 7-10 or better, so that's neat.

...
codebase results in HORRIBLE pajeetware performance, memory leaks and general instability that makes it frustrating to use for more than an one hour i can't believe such a beta quality software makes a default DE in "stable" versions of popular distros. it's linux, everything 's ..so modular, so nobody takes responsibility for any fuckup. ubuntu and fedora workstation with GNOME are realistically unusable.

install budgie-desktop. or pantheon. same thing but no crashes and memory leaks.

Gnome is a DE designed for tablets and written in JavaScript. It was basically designed as a boomer DE from the ground-up by boomers and for boomers. They should rename it to Gboomer.

Gnome would be ok if not for fucking mutter. It has hardcoded application response timeout and because of it you continuously get a window asking "do you want to force close application or wait for it?" when you're debugging a program with an opengl window (and most likely in similar cases too). This thing alone makes gnome unusable for developers.

Gee, if I use Gnome 3.x will I also become a such a faggot?

Plasma has windows look as default. You can and I do make it perform exactly like Ubuntu unity.

>js
>boomer language
you what?

No it's the best DE but the type of people who like to post on the internet crying about megabytes of RAM and desktop icons aren't the ones who use it happily.

but it IS customizable. that's not wrong. lots of extensions that fundamentally change how the environment works

>There's an annoying delay every time I change folders
Now This is Autism

JS is a web scripting language, it's definitely boomer and pajeet tier. Who programs a DE in web scripting language anyway? Go grab another monster out of the fridge!

> but it IS customizable. that's not wrong.
Dude, wrong thread. This is the gnome thread.

xfce

poo in loo: the desktop environment

I like it

>t. has never used Gnome for more than 5 minutes.

"boomer" now means anyone old enough to know how to use a command line.

As opposed to Zoomers who only use touchscreens because buttons scare and confuse them.

how the fuck not? it's well organized and even has a search feature if you can't find something.

worst case you can use dconf or gsettings to literally set the configurables through memey "command line" interface.

>i don't know what gnome is
>I don't know how to monkey patch in javascript so gnome is not customizable.

fucking retards.
