After many explorations, hesitations and tribulations; and after having thought that an Arch derivative with KDE is the way; and after having later considered that more desktop stability would be advisable, and having a fling for Ubuntu MATE 21.04, a quick experiment showed me that Ubuntu MATE cannot be trusted, and that maybe I should...

This article was written in the sense of bashing gnome but yet some points seem to be valid. It explains the history of gtk 1 to 4 and the influence of gnome in gtk. I’m not saying gnome is bad here, instead I find this an interesting to read and I’m sharing it.

      Everything opens up immediately. My PCs perform well. I dunno where you got the weird animations lie from.

      I’ve used XFCE plenty. XFCE would hinder my productivity massively, so nah I’m going to pass on that.

      Still nothing on the “gnome massively reinvents the wheel every 2-3 years” thing? Not surprised, considering it was BS.

          So your proof of Gnome “reinventing the wheel every 2-3 years” is them removing desktop icons (good riddance btw), idk, 7 years ago or something? And activities view (amazing for productivity and I wish others would catch up to Gnome here) well over a decade ago?

          Yes. I will need examples. Because those aren’t examples of what you said - show me how using Gnome is night and day different to 2-3 years ago, and show me how using it then was night and day different to 4-6 years ago.
