because muh mac-like GUI xD
xfce/lxde with xfwm&xfce4-panel is and will always be the best

I like gnome 2

>>57157495
looks really good, but holy shit gnome 3.22 wayland is so bugged and annoying to deal with

>>57157495
Tweak tool is one thing.
Extensions that need updating every other day would be my main gripe.
(To get the taskbar to autohide fer chrissake.)

Is anything wrong with kde?

GNOME is great
Only redditors hate it

KDE has a clusterfuck of options and features which a lot of people find off-putting. It also doesn't help that gtk is treated as the defacto toolkit for Linux.

>>57157610
Not really. It's very flexible and is one of few DEs that actually look good out of the box.

What are you talking about? This thread is a complaint about a lack thereof options, not too many. Are you retarded?

Clearly you need to buy some new hardware which in no way benefits the developers of GNOME, but they'll still force you to do it for some reason.

gnome is a laggy piece of shit on nvidia
fucking linux is a piece of shit on nvidia
screen tearing fucking everywhere

So I see you're running gnome

>>57157897
tweak tool just enables features that are still present in the code. taking away the options to enable those things isn't removing bloat.

>>57157974
it is aesthetical bloat
KDEs customization ui looks horrific because of all the settings

>>57157984
I would agree that KDE's customization settings could be more organized, but I don't think removing them would solve anything.

GNOME is good. I find it amazing that I can just use it, not giving a fuck about configuring some shit, and be pleased with it. It's liberating.

Really? I always trought radeon is worse on linux

>>57157958
you are a fucking idiot

sudo nvidia-xconfig
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Option         "TripleBuffer" "True"

in Section "Device"

>>57158163
Radeon works great with everything out of the box.

I like Gnome as it appeals to my sense of aesthetics. However I also think it's important that KDE and other DEs are also maintained for those who have a different (*gasp*) requirements than me. Isn't choice one of the advantages of the Linux desktop?

>>57158163
Radeon _was_ worse. Past tense. Now it still lags behind performance-wise, but is much better at integrating with the open-source community. Thus for example the open-source radeon drivers are servicable, with very good OpenGL coverage. The performance is usually worse than the binary blob drivers, but it's still decent. Heck, there's an (unofficial) open-source Vulkan driver for radeons.
Nvidia is still ahead with raw performance (but only when using their binary blob. Don't even try using nvidia with opensource drivers) but it's also not very opensource-friendly. Technologies like Nvidia Optimus can cause serious problems (I'm using startx on an Optimus laptop since I never know when a driver update will b0rk the graphical login) and then there's the whole Wayland problem (nvidia wants a different approach to memory allocation since the one everyone else is using will cause their cards to perform slower).

>>57157495
I am using debian with gnome and I didn't add any extensions. I enjoy using it. It's not what you might be used to, but when you understand the workflow of creating virtual desktops and switching between them it becoms really comfortable.

By "topbar" do you mean the very upper-most bar with the time, and info about wifi/sound/battery, etc.? Because I don't want to remove or hide that at all.

Or if you mean the fat window title bars:
They're still there in GNOME apps, because the space is utilized, but outside of that titlebars are hidden when maximized thanks to the Maximus ng extension.

To quote my retarded computer science student friend who, like every other retard who refuses to let go off of GNOME 2, uses MATE:
"KDE has too many options"
