How can other DEs even compete?

gnome is nice and consistent and fedora is nice and secure but it's fucking stupid to have to press tiny 'activities' in the corner before switching every windows as if this was a phone or something. i'm not a keyboard shortcut kind of goy.

is CDE pretty impractical for my laptop? I use Xubuntu right now and I love it but I kinda thought of giving this a spin just cause it looks cool.

they are yes but thats no excuse for the titlebar to stay white

they had something so great with GNOME 2

why did they do it, /g/

>>59528294
Redshift can do this without the touch optimized de abomination.

>>59528664

You can use it but it is impractical.

It's still the objectively worst DE. Even Unity is miles better.

>>59532284
Why is it the worst DE?

>>59532462
Tablet UI. You need extensions to make it remotely usable.

comfy as fuck but not practical in any sense.
Also it has security issues and is pretty buggy so best of luck if you want to run it.

GNOME with extensions is objectively the best DE out there though

they compete by not needing external tools to make it usable

Why don't you get rid of that retarded animation when you change desktops?

>>59533538
If you're into GNOME you should really be using Arch or Fedora they get the newest GNOME packages first at practically the same time. What is so special about 3.24 anyways? I'm on Arch, I might install it and give it a whirl if there is anything compelling about it compared to earlier versions.

>This release also includes a new Recipes application, which contains recipes contributed by members of the GNOME community. It has an extensive set of features for adding and editing recipes, creating shopping lists, adjusting quantities and even has a hands-free cooking mode. Other GNOME applications that have been improved for 3.24 include Web, Photos, Polari, Games, Calendar and the Calculator. The Settings application also has a total of three updated settings pages.

They're desperately trying to copy Apple. To them the more consolidation the better.

GNOME is becoming increasingly less desirable because of this junk. Everything about GNOME is already the opposite of the UNIX way though. Fuck em they had a good thing in GNOME 2 they fucked up a good thing and mate just doesn't feel the same.
