decided to just install normal ubuntu and see how i felt about it, and i don't understand all the insane hate against the environment. sure, it looks bad and kinda like mac os at the beginning, but you can tweak it in a lot of ways; you can move the bar from the left to the bottom and can give it a windows like feel. you can turn off the animations to make it feel more instant and responsive. and with the gnome tweak tool you change the size of icons, making them smaller and more natural looking. you can basically get gnome to look and feel a lot like windows or a more "normal" environment. my layout know just feels like any other windows-type layout ive used. why does everyone act like it has to be kept at the same initial layout?
Why does everyone hate gnome so much?

I don't have any experience with Gnome, but this is why. XFCE requires substantially less resources.

The developers are actively working on destroying the ability to do that.

Every update removes features rather than adding them, and yet somehow it's still the most resource intensive DE.

perhaps it's changed since i haven't used it for years, but that windows 8 style bullshit where the start menu is full screen and window switching is full screen is just terrible.
i recall having two monitors and to change window both would go into the full screen menu.
at the time my second monitor was a wall mounted tv, so i couldn't do anything without disturbing whoever was watching it.
tl;dr it sucks, and only sucks slightly less once you configure it

Really? You think they want to get rid of the gnome tweak tools or ability to move the task bar, and stuff like that?

The tablet UI too.

GNOME always unresponsive on my laptop

The top bar is a waste of vertical real estate.
