    Who uses Gnome these days? i have used the forks Cinnamon or MATE, since gnome shell was introduced.

    It’s great that there’re so many good window managers to choose from.

        There’s plenty reason to shit on gnome, they took off in a direction and changed the whole look and feel, without any option to keep something like the gnome 2 layout.

        The introduction of Gnome 3 scared me away, the initial version was garbage. I switched to XFce and MATE, and eventually ended up with Cinnamon.

        They may have made it usable, but I still don’t like the user interface.

              We already know the answer, hence my comment. We heard from you that windows is better and Mac os is trash. What else do we need?

              It is absolutely bizarre to me that (a few, vast minority) people hate gnome so much. It feels smooth, modern, and stable while the others I’ve used feel mostly like an amateurish glitchy version of windows.

              You could always just not use gnome and let others use it. I think KDE is janky but I don’t really say that until people jump on the gnome hate bandwagon

      Probably most desktop Linux users? …

      I love gnome. People love KDE but I think it’s not very good.

        Most? Is that guess based on anything?

        I am sure getting accurate data on the subject would be impossible, as Linux users are more likely to not consent to the type of telemetry that could track that.

      It’s the default for Fedora and I think Debian too but don’t quote me on the second one.

      Me I use SUSE which lets me choose what DE to install.
