    I don’t understand all the friction Gnome gets. Yes, I’m satisfied with everything default on the Debian/ Fedora Workstation. That’s because the DE get’s the hell out of my way and most everything can be easily managed without touching the mouse.

    Those two things alone are so important to me, and such an improvement over Windows, that I’ve just never gotten around to trying other DE seriously.

      It is because it only “gets out of your way” if you like its choices. If you have different preferences, the strong opinions very much get in your way.

      There is a reason GNOME extensions are so popular. And those extensions break all the time.
