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.
Funny how this was Windows 10 years ago.

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.
I was a unity diehard
It was pretty neat and I ended up using it for about almost a year.
Idk… gnome 3 works great for me with keyboard and mouse. The only complaint I have is alt tab grouping , but whatever it’s good enough
You can change it in settings>keyboard>shortcuts and remove alt+tab from “switch apps” and map it to “switch windows”
It’s Windows 8 all over again.
Why did I forget that there was a Windows 8?
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.
Also, remember Windows 8.1 existed?
I miss Windows 7. I don’t remember ever operating or working on a Windows 8 machine. Windows 8.1? Same. Maybe some kind of selective memory retention?
I don’t think so. Just next to nobody had it
Suppressed bad memories.
Everyone just used that software that added a start menu and disabled that full-screen stuff. So it kinda just felt like win10.
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.
How is GNOME touch friendly, the activities button is tiny

Windows 8.0 says hello.
@yrmyli GNOME works for me but I like customizing so I generally go for KDE. Both are pretty great.
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.
no way would gnome3 even work with touch. It’s worst of both worlds
