Convince me that GNOME isn't shit. There's so many little glitches and stupid little things that it makes me want to go through the trouble changing OS just to get rid of it. There's really nothing in Ubuntu that bothers me, but despite my plebian taste I almost want to switch to something else (even just another flavour of Ubuntu) just to get rid of this shit.
Pic related, but there's more annoying things like how it makes my VM disagree with the host OS about where the mouse is, which causes the fucking dash thing to pop up and freeze my guest OS's cursor, or how I occasionally completely lose the ability to interact with any window via the mouse.
On second thought, I really should've took the Terminal off of my shortcuts before I posted that screenshot. You guys are going to eat me alive for that, I just never bothered to learn the keyboard shortcut.
Took me a while to get that. Haven't they not used that logo since version 2? Like half a decade ago?

It's literally the most comfy and polished DE Linux has to offer

Some people like it for some reason. Personally I would say nothing looks and works better than KDE, only downsides are some not critical but slightly annoying bugs. If they focus more on fixing everything and not add too many features quickly it would be perfect.
Cameron Gomez
>he's never used another DE
James Foster
Gnome is shit, problem is all linux DEs are shit and it might be less shitty for someone than other DEs
Connor Morales
GNOME used to be good but now is shit.
There are still a few worthwhile gnome-associated projects, like terminator.
Thomas Perry
When?
Brandon Scott
Works on my machine :)
Oliver Long
Can't say that I'm surprised, my machine is ancient.
Austin Taylor
2.x
Aaron Hernandez
>all linux DEs are shit and it might be less shitty for someone than other DEs This is my biggest fear, but is reality like that?
Eli Young
runs fine on my X220.
James Gutierrez
Well, I've tried 4 of them (LXDE, XFCE, GNOME, KDE) and they were all shit compared to Windows 10.
Adam Ramirez
>go through the trouble changing OS just to get rid of it
just install another DE
Jason Barnes
Isn't Ubuntu weird about that shit?
Colton Reed
What's wrong with KDE?
Angel Gonzalez
>all shit compared to Windows 10. A properly configured KDE kills Windows 10.
Jeremiah Diaz
Looks like shit, millions of setting and random menus everywhere. Feels like some chinese windows vista ripoff. Krashes (thought it was a meme, but it krashed in a first hour of use).
Xavier James
>windows >better than anything
Cooper Allen
It’s fucking terrible
Easton Perry
Why?
Jason Davis
Hides all the important shit, wasted space, tablet UI on a fucking desktop, bloated as hell, have to use extensions for everything, red hat kikes and systemdick
Brayden Gomez
No
All you guys complain too much. Gnome works great. KDE works great. Just use whatever the fuck you want, you don't have to convince people your non-preferred DE is bad.
Install these extensions and disable animations, and Gnome is as function-able as any other DE. Many of those extensions have been around since the beginning and should be included features by default.
Cooper Jones
Ubuntu’s Gnome is a shitshow, and their main goal was to make it look like Unity. The Ubuntu dock is somehow baked in without an easy way to disable it like normal extensions and it’s buggy as fuck, nautilus is several versions old compared to the rest of the gnome packages, basic stuff like the gnome calculator or process monitor are snaps for no good reason and take a minute to load, and I could go on. It’s shit on top of an already bloated base. Just boot a live image of Fedora and see how much better everything feels.
Robert Sanders
>these ?
Angel Cook
This desu Gnome isn't perfect or highly configurable but it gets the job done. Poobuntu is hot garbage, really only useful for servers if that
Jason Reyes
>Ubuntu sucks Cool, guess I'll finally move to Debian.
Thanks user. Now I've just got to remember how the fuck you install these in Ubuntu.
Ethan Williams
Not him, but the fact that you have to install those to make gnome functional when other DEs do that shit right out of the box (minus the dock, dtp is my preference) is down right fucking abysmal.
Bloody hell, I've not seen a Troll Face in like half a decade.
William Miller
has someone who has tried: openbox gnome shell kde xfce LXDE i3 and dwm gnome is the one with the least bugs and better integration of everything. And has comfy dynamic workspaces. don't use the ubuntu-session, hot garbage I use none of them, well just places. Other DEs don't have none of those by default, just KDE has removable drive but that's stupid since you can umount them or use nautilus, or don't be a girl and unplug them. The one that is not in gnome but it is in other desktops is to hide the status bar, but most applications that benefit from that have a full screen mode. Xfce has a places widget on the bar and a dock but all of that I don't even use it, I use dmenu or the gnome search option to launch applications, which Xfce doesn't have. Gnome has the most sane defaults, deal with it. And uses less resources than kde
Camden Jackson
What "sane" defaults does gnome have? Mate and Cinnamon are leagues ahead and Mate is abandonware. The only time I've seen sane defaults was pop_os...
>don't use the ubuntu-session, hot garbage Sorry, session? Are you just saying that the Ubuntu version sucks? Or is there something special going on here?
Bentley Flores
imagine actually believing this
Dylan Rodriguez
nope its fine desu
Zachary King
>mate doesn't have file indexer and app launcher by default, back to Windows XP. >cinnamon cinnamon uses like 50% more resources than gnome just for a fucking green theme and a menu >pop os flat icons meme ubuntu-session is the thing you launch with gdm on a default desktop Ubuntu. It has a lot of modifications from normal gnome-session, like the fucking Amazon shortcut, disgusting to look at too. I don't like the permanent dock on the left. >believing
Xavier Ross
>Ubuntu dock What does that second one even do? I've just turned it on and noticed absolutely no difference.
Almost every DE out there relies on at least some kind of Panel plug-ins. KDE especially runs on a bunch of plugins considering it's deep binding with Compiz. If you are a LARPing Winfag ... There exist thousands of plugin software infiltrating the Windows API.
As someone who has to indirectly deal with them through some open-source software development I do, I can confirm that they are indeed the worst. KDE are a much more cooperative bunch.
Wait, how is being able to unmount removable drivers stupid?
Benjamin Roberts
What's wrong wit Xfce?
Hudson Ramirez
its gtk based, and has thus become bloated eating the ass end of the GNOME human centipede. mate or gnome flashback is a better option than xfeces at this point.
Alexander Carter
Changing OS to get rid of a DE is the most retarded thing I have ever heard. Just install another DE moron.
Landon Sanchez
Kubuntu
Ryan Young
Top panel workspace scroll (or something called like that) is the most important extension if you use mouse. Other extensions do not needed imo.
