    Fuck off with this hot-take shit. Gnome is fucking beautiful and powerful if you spend the 30 seconds necessary to find the necessary extensions to cater to your delicate sensibilities. After that - you’ll never have to worry about it ever again.

      Gnome is extremely polished, well featured, stable and clean. It’s no doubt went it’s the default for most pro distros

      Why did people downvote this? I’m thinking of switching from KDE to GNOME on my PC, with extensions it’s great for every usecase.

        The main problem I have with Gnome is exactly this: extensions. Vanilla Gnome is so barebones that it makes the MacOS feature-rich. So you really need extensions.

        But the problem with extensions is that when you update Gnome, you’re not sure if the extensions you’re using will work. It’s a logistics I don’t want to think about anymore. For me, extensions are good for distros because you can update everything as one package.

        I’m much happier with KDE. As always, experience varies, but this has been my experience.

          I can’t believe this is still a thing. I made an honest attempt at using Gnome 3 about a decade ago and gave up after a couple of months because of this, mostly.
