Gnome keeps me off of pop. I look forward to the popos team are ready to ship cosmic as the default desktop. Have you tried OpenSuse Tumbleweed or Gecko Linux?

Have you tried OpenSuse Tumbleweed or Gecko Linux? Tumbleweed is a rolling distro but the maintainers apparently test all of the updates they push. OpenSuse can feel a but clunky (it asks for passwords for “everything” for instance), but theres Gecko, which acts a bit as a wrapper of a distro to make OpenSuse a bit more user friendly.
- wing-_-nuts 4y agoI don't understand the hate for gnome, but xfce / kde / i3 or whatever is just a sudo apt install away. I've heard good things about tumbleweed and it even has support for WSL, so I might try that if I ever build a gaming pc and have to main windows.
- 7speter 4y agoRegarding gnome, I personally don’t like that you have to install browser extensions to change settings on the ui. I’ve tried adding desktop environments to a pop installation, but I really don’t like having all of the apps included with other desktop environments cluttering the taskbar menu and the like.
- JohnFen 4y ago> I don't understand the hate for gnome I avoid it because I find it hard to use and hard-or-impossible to configure adequately. It takes a "my way or the highway" approach. If you like how it does things, it's great. If you don't, you're better off using a different DE, which is what I do.
