I really like GNOME, honestly. It's the most simple and elegant DE out there, it's great out of the box! If you buy a computer today it will be at least with 4GB RAM so why would you worry about 800mb being used?
KDE and xfce both have more customization options but that can backfire aswell, because gnome has a dock out of the box, and dock is way more pretty than the standard desktop. (If didn't want a dock i could just aswell use Windows). If you want to set up a dock on KDE is a hassle. Everything on those two DE's is a hassle because you spend so much time just looking for what do you want to customize (for noobs, of course)
So yeah, if you are an experienced linux user i understand why use KDE or xfce, but GNOME is more elegant out of the box for the lazy and inexperienced
Experienced users will dig some of the non-default spins of the distro, while newcomers can have a simple, beautiful and solid DE
if gnome ran better and used less ram and cpu and didn't depend on systemd and stopped removing features then I would happily use it. I love it's dynamic workspaces and overall workflow

>keyboard input, animations, shell, compositor and who knows what else all running in a single javascript thread who cares xDD just buy intel i9 9999k lmao
Blake Jones
FAKE NEWS Animations are done with Cairo, which is written in C.
Benjamin Price
Memory footprint improved since 3.30 and you can patch it to not depend on systemd. Also GNOME is designed to have as little features ootb as possible and be customised via extensions
Cooper Brown
Based and redpilled.

what do the dots on the left side mean? does gnome still use zeitgeist or one of it's successors?

I really like it when my wife fucks black guys, honestly. It is so fantastic seeing her finally be pleased, I know I couldn't do it! Most black guys these days cocks are almost over 10 inches so why would I waste my wives time with my 4 inch cock? >Reddit space Black guys are much stronger and so much more athletic, besides I don't have to worry because they usually leave as soon as my wife gets attached to them (She says that she loves me because I stick around). I could go to the gym and work out. Though going outside and improving myself is just too much of a hassle (I can have a black man do that for me). >Reddit space So yeah, if your marriage is going sour and you can only support your wife with your money and emotions, but at least there is a black man out there that can treat her right. >Reddit space I was a virgin when my wife met me and I still proudly am today, while I could man up and fuck her, why do so when she can have all the beautiful and solid built black men she wants
yes I know all of that but since a large amount of the desktop is coded in javascript it doesn't matter how much you try to improve it will always run like shit and eat a ton of cpu and ram and it doesn't help all the extensions are also coded in javascipt. the fucking boated monster just needs to be fully rewritten because that's the only way it would actually run well on all hardware. just talking about the stupidity of the gnome devs really pisses me off and watching people defend them blows my mind. I wish they wern't so stubborn

Repeat after me: A FUCKING FOOT
Lucas Miller
buddy, I think you've replied to wrong thread on a wrong board.
Zachary Brown
that's right user, i guess I'll stick with xfce till usable, rewritten version of GNOME will be released (so forever i guess)
Gabriel Roberts
>he doesn't like foot lol, you just sounded very gay
Wyatt Garcia
yep that's right. I'm sure gnome 4 is just going to be a slow and bloated version of the sugar desktop
Oliver Martinez
XFCE seems to be the best tried LXDE and LXQT but they are kinda lacking KDE is a resource thief new gnome is trash
No it's not designed around that. The devs HATE extensions. It interrupts their branding. Extensions are a nasty, kludgy hack that the devs begrudge you having.
Caleb Hughes
Nigger you have no idea what you're talking about. KDE uses the same or less RAM than XFCE, and uses less CPU. You sir are a fucking gorilla nigger retard.
delusional Ktard and I'm saying that as a kde user. try using xfce on a non bloated distro or operating system
Asher Price
Depends if you have Akonadi/KDE PIM running. It's a buggy resource hogging piece of shit
Jaxson Sanders
Except it was, one of the key features of GNOME Shell is extensibility
Ayden Nelson
You're obviously not if you don't know how light KDE is now you glow-in-the-dark retarded fuck.
Luke Phillips
You should read up on GNOME issues before you reply to me again.
Nathaniel Gray
>light KDE >not stock KDE
Matthew Diaz
Oh no. Completely stock.
James Allen
>key features of GNOME Shell is extensibility in another words >we're going to remove features and make GNOME as plain as possible for stability reasons. You can add this removed functionality by using extensions. But we are not responsible for any instability when using extensions. >t. GNOME devs I liked GNOME for so long time... tried to like it when GNOME Shell came out, finally forced myself to like it. Now devs are just retarded. Not only removing features, but forcing software devs to work around GNOME
I like GNOME, but I hate devs
Jaxson Hernandez
Well, I did not state that the devs like the idea of extensions or not. I just said that one of gnome shell features is extensibility and that's a fact you can't argue against
Gavin Foster
>using a DE
Jayden King
fucking hell gnome is ugly
Julian Cook
GNOME is pretty swell. Don't have anything bad to say about it myself.
I went back to using Unity on my Thinkpad. It's way more polished than the turd that is the current Gnome. Plus it still has the Alt HUD which is nice. Gnome devs are actively working against implementing it (they disabled the code paths and refuse to accept patches)

>it will be at least with 4GB RAM so why would you worry about 800mb being used if you're a NEET who only watch porn maybe some people needs ram for work, not for drawing fancy dock
