        Well, if you don’t like customize it with using plugins that break every time that gnome gets an update, gnome 3 could be fine…

          Fun fact, most extensions don’t even break, they just have a fixed value as a compatibile version… A popular example is, GS connect, it was marked as incompatible with gnome 44, but by editing the compatible version, it worked fine.

          Any pluging you install on gnome is going against what gnome is made for, it’s supposed to be barren of function so as to not overwhelm the user, and reduce the number of bug reports the devs are receiving

            That makes sense, and yet the people who actually use *nix tend to be knowledgeable about features that other DEs provide and miss having at least a few of them in their workflow.

              two schools of though even amongst the nix nerds, some will praise it’s minimalism as “not getting in the way”, though usually minimalism is praise because of it’s low ressource requirements with is certainly not the case of gnome

          Wish there was a first-party clipboard manager in GNOME so I don’t have to hunt for an extension

        Whilst gnome 3 wasn’t for we it did have charm and I prefer it over Windows or KDE. I’m using xfce4, and really like Window Maker and CDE, but I get why these wouldn’t work well on ultra wide displays. It’s all personal preference and finding what works, which is part of my love for Linux.

    • Jesus these comments are so worthless. If you don’t like it, just stfu. I notice there is rarely any bad mouthing on KDE or xfce or whatever posts but of course someone does about gnome.

      Again, get a life and just ignore a DE you don’t like.

        That’s a good one! Gnome is the Windows 8 of the Linux world, and the devs tend to intentionally break the extension system between major releases. It’s truly baffling how the group that made Gnome 2.x continue to hate most of the Linux userbase so much.
