I would prefer something that’s light without compromising on things that Microsoft figured out in the 90s and 2000s, and things that modern Apple computers can pull off now.
Apparently GNOME in particular is having a rough time in general, if other articles from the same websiteomgubuntu are an indicator, but this seems to be a wider trend in desktop environments
If you don’t like GNOME, Ubuntu officially supports other, less resource-intensive DEs, like Lubuntu, Kubuntu or Xubuntu

It’s shit technology. No wonder it requires so much RAM.
Do you actually feel like Windows or Mac are more responsive with the same RAM?
For Macs with 8GB RAM? Yes.
For Windows? It’s way worse in my experience, even with debloat scripts, without opening a single thing.
GNOME isn’t exactly light, is it? And there’s still a few more variants.
