Honestly gnome 3 convinced me to switch from using a few assorted others (xmonad, kde, xfce, etc) and just use gnome 3.
Its the only one that just works 90% of the time with crap that should work. Network, bluetooth, notifications, window management. I like the way all these things work. I have my minor qualms with it (alt+tab, multimonitor support, poor virtual machine performance)
Those few things aren't deal breakers for me though
- virtualwhys 13y agoMultimonitor support, shit, that's an absolute must here. Window management pales compared to tiling WMs like Awesome and i3, so being able to drag title bar to windows edges to get a split screen is like, is that all? How about a key binding for that, and while we're at it, how about splitting the screen arbitrarily using keyboard shortcuts? I get that Gnome 3 is good in the sense that things mostly work, but it seems tailored to touch screen devices or use of a mouse to interact with the interface. This frankly blows if your go to tool of choice is the keyboard. Saying that, I wouldn't consider going back to Gnome 2, am moving toward a Gnome-less stack.
