On the other hand I switch away from every distro or at least desktop that does "change" for the sake of "change". I prefer a stable system with optional changes to a mess that breaks functionality with every other update. Sadly some of the programs I use were written for GNOME or at least with GTK, so I am still affected every time GNOME is "improved".
- vidarh 10y agoThat's fine, but it doesn't imply copying Windows - if anything, copying Windows would mean more "change for the sake of change" than sticking with something conservative like Mate (continuation of Gnome 2), Cinnamon (more conservative fork of Gnome 3) or e.g. LXDE. Linux have plenty of options whatever your preferred rate of change. If you want to avoid change, see if the GNOME/GTK apps you use are available in forks for Mate or Cinnamon - if they are, chances are they'll change far less.
