It's #GNOME. It's always Gnome. :P
My first experience running Linux on a modestly beefy machine in a lot of years was on my iMac in 2019.
Gnome tracker brought that box to its *knees*. I couldn't figure out why it kept freezing within a few minutes of starting up.
To their credit, Gnome has fixed a *log* of their performance issues, as of whatever the last version number was before they switched to dumb integer version numbers.
