/tech/ - Soyence and Technology

I use GNOME as my DE. I use it knowing that its the laughing stock of DEs and that Emmanuele Bassi (the lead dev) has his head up the ass. There are valid criticisms of GNOME such as the lack of tray icons, restrictive customization, wasted top bar and the hostility of its volunteers, yet i always go for it. Several times i wanted to move out from GNOME switching to KDE and XFCE but on the former i wasted a lot of time trying to rice it my way and i did spend more time with the latter but i fucked my install and said "I guess I'll go back to using GNOME". I'm not even an iToddler, some say GNOME could be cozy for ex-macOS users but i never used anything from Apple (and never will), i only ever used Windows before giving a chance to Linux; the reason i didn't mind GNOME its because i liked how it looks. Is GNOME made for my usecase (heh) or did Bassi/RedHat brainwash me into kneeling to it?
