After decades of using different window managers, fixing broken configs with major updates, fretting about multi monitor config etc I started using GNOME. It might not look as sleek but I’m a lot more productive now.
In the end I’m just glad we have so many choices.
I agree, but only on multi touch trackpad, regular mouse and keyboard it’s not great.
What do you find not great about mouse/keyboard GNOME? All the gestures I know have pretty simple mouse and keyboard equivalents. So far I just gesture three fingers up/down/left/right, which I can do on a keyboard with super/alt-super-left/alt-super-right or on a mouse with hot-corner/corner-click/corner-scroll. If there’s a gesture I’m missing out on please let me know, I always like to learn new tricks.
If they don’t want to choose, that’s fine by me. But why tf they didn’t want choice? They could just stick to whatever is the default and let others who wanted different choice have their way.
Them using gnome doesn’t stop you from using whatever you want actually.
Right now it’s pretty much how you want it to be.
