@lina @VIPPER gonna be honest I've had pretty terrible luck configuring linux distros to do anything other than stock settings. Whenever people tell me "skill issue works on my musheen" it always turns out they're spending far more time and energy to keep it working than they let on (often made apparent by their post history). So I just stopped trying to go off stock a while ago.

@RustyCrab @VIPPER i never liked gnome, at school there was a period where our computer classes had computers with ubuntu on it, i fucking HATED the ui on it, almost wanted to hate linux cuz of it, tux paint saved me from that though cuz it was fun to mess around in
microsoft back when they were far more tolerable made the best graphical user interface for desktop environments

@lina @VIPPER I do like gnome and I tried getting tiling working on it. None of the extensions worked correctly. All of them had weird bugs and friction points and it just ended up being a worse experience. At least that was 6 months ago. I know about i3 or whatever but I'm not sure how that's going to interact with my system as a whole and I'm just feeling a lot less adventurous now.

@lina @VIPPER imo gnome has improved a LOT in recent years. I was pretty impressed with version 45. Not so much the previous ones. I've had no major issues running my current distro so far vs tons of issues every day with every other DE. The reason gnome is the default choice for distros is because even though it's limited, it works very well with no configuration. I ran XFCE for a long time and just got tired of the lack of QoL. KDE is still terminally buggy despite every release saying "no we really cleaned it up for real now guys"

@RustyCrab @VIPPER idk xfce just works for me and i can make it look how i want, i tried kde in the past but i think it just felt off to me, plus xfce at the time had a much more convenient zooming feature that i could use for funni screenshots

@lina
@RustyCrab @VIPPER
Ever since I switched to xfce I haven't had any random DE crash or extremely annoying bug, even on experimental distributions like Guix it works fine.
Xfce is how GNOME should've been.
