Who else realized gnome is the superior desktop after using it with ubuntu 18?

I don't like Gnome3 but I dislike all other DEs even more.

It's time to move to Wayland and Gnome is the only DE really doing anything in this regard.

>What is it lacking that's essential?
A good file manager for one. Just browse any Linux forum for a while and you see a couple people asking for Nautilus alternatives because it's lacking some feature they need/want and people recommending Nemo.

I mean desu i don't really see the complaint about nautilus most of the time. The only thing I hate about it is how the search function works; other than that it's perfectly fine for like 99% of people.

Ubuntu 18 made me realize how much of a clusterfuck the distro is

It's the only distro that ships with Amazon on the desktop. That should tell you something.

>point & clic fags hate it
you NEED to use the keyboard shortcuts, otherwise you will have a very bad time in gnome

>You still can't even customize fonts without installing an additional application AND manually editing CSS files
Wut? Just drop your fonts in .fonts and open up tweaks to modify them. Wow, so complicated.

Folders on the Desktop are back my niggers!

Yep, install GNOME Tweaks, that's what I said. But what about changing the font on the panel up at the top? Please enlighten me there.

Tweaks has always been a default application in every Gnome installation I've used.Don't know where you are getting the idea that it needs to be installed.

As a Dolphin user I an tell you that I would sorely miss the built-in terminal that follows you around. I also use dual-panes and seperate view setting per directory quite a lot, not sure if Nautilus supports those.
Not exclusive to Nautilus but I've also had issues with every single GTK based file manager loading large numbers of thumbnails far slower than Dolphin.

That is controlled by the shell theme. Edit the css files found in your theme directory

the search function is essential to it though

nemo is amazing

It’s just a shortcut nowadays and you don’t even get it with minimal install, it used to be worse in Unity

this, I tried to get the same keybinds on xfce or kde and I couldn't, they don't have enough options for virtual desktops. Gnome or i3 are the only ones that let me have an actual workflow without autistically clicking things like in windows. But i3 is too stripped down I wish I could use it with some more gui services like gnome

It's not installed by default with Fedora or Ubuntu.

>I wish I could use it with some more gui services like gnome
You literally can and it will still consume a fraction of the resources gnome does.

My point exactly. In order to simply change a font on my desktop in 2018, I'm required to 1) know how to edit CSS files, and 2) know where to find said CSS file. Good thing I've been programming for 30 years, but the fact that this is even a thing is beyond ridiculous.

Try again with GNOME ubuntu

They might not have a lot of options but at least they do QA apparently

The minimal install is something that I'd like to try for more than a few minutes. Last time I checked it out (last weekend), I found that Firefox wouldn't respect my selection of RGB sub-pixel font rendering, said fuck it and went back to Fedora.

Currently running in a Wayland session with proprietary nvidia drivers.

Feels good man.

actually since I installed Ubuntu on 2015 it was just a shortcut, now I use debian because I got memed into it and people say updating between ubuntu releases may break something. While debian stable just keeps rolling without ever needing to reinstall.
Yes but I don't want to be looking around obscure third party options. I wish I could just install a meta package that merged more things for i3, like the volume and backlight shortcuts and visual indicators for them, a network and keyboard switcher and such which are all on gnome.
>krashes

Yes, but it does work, not exactly how you would like it to, but it does work as intended. They might be wrong on how a search function should work in a file browser but that doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Just install XFCE or any other DE that let's you replace the WM and replace it with i3

Ugh ikr I hate gnome users they are all toxic bigots

Not me.
The fact that KDE uses a third of GNOME's equivalent recourse usage despite having over three times as many features to the point where I can basically emulate GNOME in KDE anyway should be a red flag.
Also, regardless of the veracity of the claim that GNOME has better graphics performance than KDE, it doesn't really matter to me because GNOME'S compositing is so shite that videos, games, fvcking web browsing, etc. stutters and/or doesn't reach 60 fps; rendering crucial things like coherent video editing a chore.

The only big thing I'd say GNOME has going for it is its stability. For nearly a year and half now, GDM3 was the only display manager that allowed my laptop to suspend properly; with any other DE, my session would krash™.
But this is getting less and less relevant with the MASSIVE strides KDE is taking in stability as well. Now it suspends properly, so I have gno™ reason to use GNOME.

Leaking memory like crazy.

She cute

Except it. You can't really change fonts at all on iOS, Android or macOS. Even Windows has been burying the customization settings in recent releases. People don't care anymore, stuff like that has become part of the brand that no one expects to change because the vendor hired expensive designers to tell them what fonts to use. Theming is going away and it isn't coming back, deal with it.

Unity got it right after a shaky first few years. GNOME 3 is like fucking tablet touchscreen garbage and any benefit you can think of it has been done by Unity better.

I really, really want to use it, but recently, it's been freezing when I run out of ram (8gb). I've been forced to use KDE in the meantime.

KDE is for people who use linux
GNOME is for people who use firefox

If you want Gnome 3 then use Fedora. The closest thing to an official Gnome distro.
As always Ubuntu is a buggy mess.

She got a pee pee
