Googler here, opinions on my own. While nothing prevents us from switching desktop environments (many of us do so), basically anything outside the default GNOME/X11 configuration is not supported. (It used to be Cinnamon but we're switching away.)
Bluetooth accessories are not guaranteed to work. People struggle with screen configurations all the time. Nvidia driver updates are still a nightmare. I'm pretty sure there's no secret sauce.
- kristjansson 4y agoThat’s really nice to hear, actually.
- jszymborski 4y agoI'm curious about the change from Cinnamon to GNOME. Are you aware of any particular reason why? I feel like attitudes towards GNOME haven't particularly changed over the year, but that just might be my bubble.
- netheril96 4y agoThey want to switch to Wayland eventually but Cinnamon doesn’t support Wayland.
- jszymborski 4y agoThanks!
