I made this post because I really like the design of GNOME, and although i’d like customizability, it is mostly enough for my everyday needs. But I want to understand why people may choose other desktop environments…or why you would/would’nt use GNOME.
I agree here 100%. My first experience with GNOME was using POP_OS’s tweaked version of it and then trying out regular GNOME 3 made me wanna pull my hair out since it seemed like the UX was severely lacking there.
I think there are awesome elements of it but it does feel like I’d need to download all those extensions and gnome-tweaks to make it function the way I want it to which isn’t really worth it; i’d rather have an environment that functions well out of the box .
