The real problem with Gnome is that the user that they are targeting simply doesn't exist. People who need a user friendly environment probably don't need Linux in the first place.
- Gigachad 4y agoI use Gnome and it's my preferred DE. I'm perfectly capable of ricing i3-gaps or whatever. But I have better things to be doing. Gnome just works which is more than I have experienced from any of the others. And yes I have tried XFCE, KDE Plasma, and i3.
- greatgib 4y agoI would still say that the targeted user does not exist but for the opposite reason. The mass basic non nerd lambda user wants clear explicit interface with buttons. Not secret keyboard shortcut interfaces and functions hidden in secret hamburger menus. In addition, the "tablet" interface with just a single window does not work well enough for most users, or everyone will only use a tablet and not a computer.
