I'm honestly astounded by how much fallout is generated by GNOME alone: GNOME strongly integrating with systemd pushing systemd itself[1] onto major distributions, now GNOME forcing Wayland.
Hell, RHEL even dropped KDE support entirely in version 8.
I'm not saying change is inherently bad, but I'm amazed how much change is caused by a single project.

- dependenttypes 7y agoGNOME is not even that good even, not from a programming perspective (glib/gobject/gtk hell) nor from a usability perspective (features being removed left and right, high memory usage, etc). I personally think that tiling WMs do it way better, but even things like openbox and KDE are just more usable than GNOME. I am surprised that it is still the default in so many distros, something related to tradition i presume?
