    I never understood it either. I was a user of Gnome until Gnome 3 showed up and I decided to nope out of there. It was a simple process of trying few different DE’s and I have settled on KDE and Cinnamon for when I want that old timey Gnome feeling.

    It wasn’t hard to switch at all.

      Tried KDE in the early days, it was all over the place. Switched to gnome when it was baked. I had been gnome for years. Every update broke and replaced plugins to make it work like I wanted. I’ve had Windows layout since’95, I have to go back and forth a lot, so muscle memory is key.

      After fucking with gnome for the 90th time. I tried KDE again, it was just layed out like I wanted. No plugins, no fucking with it. The worst thing I have to do is set dolphin not to open on single click.

      I see people here going well if you don’t take it as it comes you’re going to have a bad time. That’s pretty much the least Linux comment I’ve ever read. That’s OSX in a nutshell.

      Yeah, really baffling direction. I ended up trying a version on gnome 3 on a Debian distro when I had a new job. It ran very slowly. Super weird. It used to be super smooth.
