I don't get all of the hostility against GNOME. If you don't like it... use something else? System 76 has been trying to have their cake and eat it too, using GNOME but not jumping through all of the GNOME hoops. I guess the latest new is they're going to get away from GNOME and make their own DE, which is great news for all involved.

I agree that those are great news that someone is making a new DE. But currently switching away from Gnome is not that simple, especially if you dislike KDE. A lot of work is being put into making Wayland usable, and a lot of interfaces for features that everyone expects from a modern computer don't really exist outside of Gnome and KDE yet. As I see it, a lot of users are not forced to use Gnome, but because of their dominance, there aren't many modern mature alternatives to it. I am a Gnome user myself and with every single update lots of extensions break. Without those extensions I can't really use Linux Desktop efficiently. What would you say if your browser extensions got broken with every browser update?
