    “What if we like took everything about GNOME 2 that made it great, remove it, and then sprinkle in the design philosophy of Apple’s Mac and Google’s ChromeOS?”

    “Hmmm, that’s a good start, but it also need to be just as marketable”

    “We call it GNOME 40 instead of 4 because its 40 times better than 3”

    “Perfect”

    – GNOME devs probably

    Gnome is fucking awful. They copied Mac’s poor usability, but it’s somehow even less configurable. I really don’t understand how anyone uses gnome over kde. Kde is amazing and it can be configured to look exactly like gnome if you like your desktop to look like a toy

        There are barely any tweaks to be done. You can change some css, oh fun

        Pop shell has a bunch of lovely gnome tweaks and a keyboard focussed tiling manager and workspace navigator. It’s an absolute joy to use. Looking forward to the new cosmic DE they are working on. It’s based on rust and iced so should be both performant and extensible.
