GNOME isn’t even great for touch devices, as it relies heavily on keyboard shortcuts. Very unintuitive to open apps by pressing a small button on the to left screen.
Ah the weekly Gnome hate post. There is not a single DE that even comes close to its design and usability. KDE looks like developers tried to design a DE and it shows.
Feel myself a weirdo, because of the fact that windows 8 was my favorite windows version, and GNOME 3.38 is still my favorite DE, even though I’m on GNOME 43 right now.
Because most people were still running Windows 7 at the time – the only reason to get it was on new hardware. And it only lasted for 2.5 years before everyone switched to Windows 10.
I remember spending about a week in gnome back when I first used Linux as my main OS (almost 20 years ago) and ditching it for KDE because gnome’s design irked me.
I’m getting a new laptop soon, the closer I get to it the more Gnome annoys me. When I installed my current install l genuinely preferred Gnome over KDE.
Man I remember when Gnome 3 first came out, caused so much butthurt that it caused not one, not two, but several competitors to show up. Mate (for the don’t change anything purists), cinnamon, unity. It was nuts but that first few iterations of Gnome3 were garbage. I was a KDE guy at the time and was excited for KDE4…
Yeah. Even they shit the bed. But I think we’re all good now. Its been awhile most everyone has sorted themselves out. Just a funny time for Linux desktop.
Took ten years to recover from the “tablet era” and get back to functional desktop experience. I always wonder where we’d be if that time was spent on something useful
I really like how gnome looks and functions, if you don’t there are several alternatives. But it’s all Linux, with such a small market share we can’t afford to splinter into different groups, if you’re using any form of Linux it’s great.
Yeah I don’t care for these toxic, polarizing posts. I like GNOME, and it’s my preferred workflow. Anyone who disagrees is entitled to use what they want.
I don’t like KDE, but I can understand that it’s a workflow that could work for someone else. I don’t shit on them for it.
