The main reason I use gnome is the keyboard shortcuts. I tried most other desktop environments and I just needed the mouse too often. Being able to see all open applications with Super is really nice too.
- crispinb 7y agoI'm relatively new to recent desktop Linux, having been on macs for past decade or so. As Gnome is my distro's default, I've stayed with it for simplicity and am having a hard time finding what so many people dislike about it. As you write, it's very keyboard-navigable. It's quick on my (fastish) laptop. It's kind of spartan & minimalistic compared to macOS & Windows 10, which seems like a good thing. I can see the appeal of i3 etc, but if all you want is a relatively mainstream DE that works & stays out of the way, Gnome seems about right to me.
