gnome3 is decent, I just switched from gnome to i3wm; I have to say I'm very satisfied with i3.
>the huge memory pattern is due to the bloat in your distro Yes, but it's gnome's bloat. Mainly nautilus's tracker, and other gnome bullshit. Still, gnome is comfy, even will all the bloat you can't remove without breaking gnome.
Samuel Howard
I can't style half of it. I'm not even talking about ricing, just normal theming, which doesn't even work inside half of the DE (ex. your screenshot of their macOS-looking application menu) >Xfce looks ugly I don't think you know what "theming" means at all. >You just hate progress! This is the same argument applefags use.
Bentley Jones
Not OP, but adwaita-dark is all I need.
Bentley Price
yeah, i'm not a redditor ricer excuse me for demanding an out of the box experience
Jason Hernandez
>excuse me for demanding an out of the box experience then you're using the wrong DE, you should be using KDE Plasma if you want OOB
John Rogers
Clicking "arc-dark" in the themes menu isn't ricing.
Kevin Brooks
if you put the effort in it and arent lazy xfce you can customize xfce to not look that bad

I literally give 0 fucks about desktop gimmicks. I used ubuntu with unity from 2012 until 2 weeks ago when I updated to the newest ubuntu with gnome.
It works fine. I even figured out how to write an extension that displays the text of my speech recognition program I'm working on.
But with that said. I did notice last night gnome-shell using 20% of cpu for some reason. I restarted gnome-shell and it dropped down to like 2% but it seems to do this randomly. A google search shows some bug reports from as recently as a few days ago all the way back to march. My guess is it has to do with the zoomed out view of all windows when you're playing a video in a browser, where it uses up cpu to shrink down the video and it then never releases whatever it was up to.
I wish the complaints were all bullshit but there is some truth to them, I'm afraid. It annoys me because I literally spent the weekend reading about how to make shell extensions.
I don't think I'm going to switch unless it really becomes a noticeable problem though.

I literally never got it to run at 60fps. It's always stuttering around 20-40fps. Not even mouse movements render at 60. Also nautilus always feels like it's full of bugs.
Eli Fisher
GNOME 3 feels like a tablet operating system, not a desktop system. I have Budgie and I can tell you this shit never happens. Panel is responsive as hell.
Xavier Moore
Gnome 3 is shit, looks ugly and is not satisfying at all, XFCE is very good and customizable and feels always very good
Dylan Hernandez
I think you got those two backwards
Xavier Myers
>using a javascript DE even fucking KDE is better, and no QML is not js
Jacob Baker
>>inb4 memory usage That was never an issue. The problem is that it leaks like an old bucket and is constantly suffering from some kind of bugs and issues.
I really like Gnome, I like the way it's structured and I honestly think it would be the best DE ever if it didn't have these technical issues that make it so horrible. It's definitely a piece of software I'd never bother even trying on a rolling release distro.
Eli Ortiz
because I prefer a DE which help me doing what I want like KDE instead of a DE wich always get in my way like Gnome
>the huge memory pattern is due to the bloat in your distro Please post which distro manages to make GNOME a semi-lightweight experience. It sure as hell isn't Fedora. Also >little customizability out of the box >buggy extensions >drastic design choices, which are not to everyone's taste
I have to admit though that GNOME 3 is great if you need good high-dpi support.
Elijah Lewis
>GNOME 3 is great if you need good high-dpi suppor acutally I have a 13" laptop with 1080p screan and I like to put a 1,2 scale factor on that, like Windows do automatically, I tried on both Gnome and KDE, and KDE was the best. On Gnome you need to use Wayland, so no Nvidia support, and everything seems blurred. On KDE the only downside was Electron app like discord and vscode, but I fixed that by adding a "--force-device-scale-factor=1.2" to the launchers
Adwaita dark is great, but it needs to be more compact. There was a user made condensed session of adwaita I used back when I was running fedora 25, dont know if its still around or functional
Adrian Russell
I'm convinced KDE has drones on here and reddit. Every person I know IRL who uses Linux prefers gnome. Yet online all the little weeb fucks dog it hard.
Kayden Roberts
because it's a piece of shit
Aiden Williams
it's dogged hard because its complete shit m8, heavier and less configurable than KDE, also it's a fucking tablet interface and gtk3 is a fucking joke unless you're talking about MATE, just use that instead of foot because it's a fucking joke of a DE
Brody Williams
>the huge memory pattern is due to the second running gdm session and leaks with nvidia enable auto login for gnome 2.28 and earlier
Ian Jenkins
>not like Xfce which is composed of million parts and looks ugly as fuck. Xfce is more customizable and you can tweak it to your own liking, if it looks ugly it's your own fault.
Hunter Flores
lxde is the white man's desktop environment. fuck off to r/linux GNOMEnigger
Blake Nguyen
gome 3 is terrible because it is designed for tablets. It looks clean and has good high dpi support, but anything utilizing the gnome stack would have that as well
