I don't think this is correct. that has nothing to do with the reasons for me and i assume others not liking it. Gnome is not a as easily customizable as others and feels bloated to me.. not saying it necessarily is.. just feels that way . compared to what you can do with others... looking at you xfce.. and my desktop doesnt resemble XP in the slightest

>>60732370
How did you get the window buttons on the panel?

I had XFCE installed because it just works and i was pretty busy at the time. But a few things annoyed me and XFCE didn't really respond to my bug reports.

XFCE can't middle-click taskbar items to launch a new process (windows 10-style behaviour), and the screen lock is very slow since it calls out to the session manager. Thunar doesn't have overlay icons for git/hg file statuses, xarchiver can't preview a file (like F3 in 7-zip) and crashed a lot (but xarchiver was forked and my distro carries the non-updated version, that's not xfce's fault).

Installed KDE to see if things were better.

KDE is AMAZING. There are so many cool features. Vista-style Win+Tab is there as an option, i can have my taskbar middleclick. Right click any window border > advanced > "lock this window to X desktop at Y position, prevent resize, prevent focus stealing". Overlay icons work in dolphin, previewing files works in Ark. Screen locking is actually fast since it doesn't call out to the session manager. The design is tasteful, the animations are fluid, there are literally thousands of options, i reinstated all the keybinds i was used to, shift+f4 for embedded terminals in dolphin is just Cool,

TL;DR install KDE

Using the mouse, really? Your entire posts make it seem like you're entirely reliant on clicking through GUIs with a mouse. Just type it in terminal. I can't take your post seriously when you sound computer illiterate. DEs are not a tool to rely on, they're decoration, a crutch at best.

Your tier system is fucked.

Assuming the computer has a mouse and a keyboard, you can split the roles of these input devices into the roles of what you do with the computer.
You could argue that you should just support both so the user could use what is easiest for them, but I would rather split the categories into two tasks: Tasks you are familiar with and tasks you are not familiar with.

Tasks you are familiar with is things you do frequently and you want to do as fast as possible.
Here I would prefer to have good keyboard support.

Tasks you are not familiar with is things you do so infrequent that they might change every time you do it and there might be new features you would like to know about when you use the application.
There, I would like good mouse support as you spend more time reading and exploring than you do giving input to the application.

I have somewhat better specs (i7-6700K/980Ti) and I noticed no real benefits in speed between Windows and Linux (except for the browser when I tried Ubuntu, but I think what really makes it slower on windwos is uBlock Origin + userscripts)
