    Gnome devs have a clear vision of what Gnome is supposed to be:
    simplistic, designed for touchpad and keyboard, not mousy-clicky, and staying out of your way.

    People install it, miss stuff they are used to from traditional desktops like Windows or Plasma, and bolt that back on using extensions from third parties.
    They install those extensions from a different source than Gnome itself (Gnome from their distro repos, extensions from the website).

    And then they complain when those third party add-ons from a different source aren't perfectly integrated or in sync after an update.

    And blame the Gnome devs.

    Plasma’s growing on my and I think it definitely works better on a laptop but I just wish it looked like a modern operating system. It feels like something from the 00s at best.

    It looks very similar to Windows 10. You think Windows 10 looks like something from 00's?

    obligatory LXDE is actually also really good but you know what would make it 10000000000000000000000000000 times better? If there was a Windows 7-esque search bar on the start menu so you could search instead of painstakingly browse through all the stupid icons like its Windows 95.

    I always post a comment like this in discussions about desktop environments in the off chance someone found a way to mod a search into LXDE's start menu.

    Eh, Gnome is fine. I like KDE, but I'd rather use my PC for the stuff I want to use it for rather than obsessively change some stuff so it looks better only to change it the next time I boot it again.

    Both KDE and GNOME are good when you compare it to anything Windows have today.

    I personally prefer KDE because of much customization support. I have it working with many keyboard shortcuts. I would miss the settings panel in hyperland.

    GNOME is simple and elegant. Showing only what is needed. I can really understand people liking it. I like but just miss some small details like the keyboard shortcuts thing and focusing etc. How GNOME works is different mindset which O just have not learned. But GNOME looks good and have everything covered.

    Xfc and lxd just need some more love from the developers. There are very few of them so I completely understand. Money issue.
