I used to be a GNOME fanboy, but then GNOME 3 came and I can't stand it. Now I'm a KDE fanboy
i actually kinda like gnome since gnome 40 release.
it still sucks to use on small displays like laptops tho due to all the padding everywhere
also gnome's touchpad gestures and multi-desktop management is superior to that of kde.
Gnome is awesome on my big ultra wide monitor but sucks balls on my old laptop with a 768p display. I think the meme is backwards.
it doesn't suck balls that deep on 768p, but you'll be basically working with one fullscreen app per desktop
Well yeah it's usable but I'd rather use even windows at that resolution to be honest even though I'm somewhat of a gnome fanboy.
That was me with gnome 1.1 or 1.2, when they replaced the window manager by something way less configurable.
Luckily Xfce exists which gives you back all of the configurability of old Gnome.
Move those panels around, add as many as you like!
Me, I've just looked at screenshots of old gnome and can't remember why I ever thought 2 panels visible at all times were a good idea.
I love current gnome, cause with a single extension I can hide literally all of it until I need to bring it up with the super-button. And then I have my favorite apps, open windows, workspaces, systray, clock and a search field all visible at once.
Too little, too late. Kde does everything, already did ages ago. There's no reason for switching.
Same here.
