    Okay, I’ll bite:

    Why GNOME? I personally find it very limiting, especially when attempting a Vanilla GNOME config.

      A lot of people seem to feel like this. It’s obviously a valid viewpoint. Gnome certainly has some flaws.I think KDE has better technical foundations and is probably much more appealing to Windows refugees.

      And it’s always fun to customise a window manager setup. I usually have another setup or two for playing around. Currently niri as I got bored with regular tilers.

      I always find it a little surprising how much some people dislike gnome. We are all on holiday here and the whole family got up early today and logged into gnome sessions and started recording and editing videos,.composing music and gaming. They don’t tell me their desktop sucks like people do online.

        I guess average people are not opinionated about desktop environments. they got familiar with one, and it’s fine to them, they’re not even thinking about trying something else.

        Out of curiosity, what music software are you using on Linux? I haven’t found a DAW I’ve liked.

          We are just getting into this. One kid has been heavily using lmms the last couple of months. It is very limited but perfect for him composiing game music.

          Other family just do basic editing with ardour. We want to level up a bit. Just bought a reaper licence and have been playing with it and a midi controller and some plugins.

          Bitwig also looks very nice and seems easy to use.

          We are newbs with this stuff. Normally I like to only use free and open source only but both reaper and bitwig feel like pretty good value.
