Trying out Gnome again, because KDE is "just ok", and Hyprland and DWM are fine, but I wanted to try something different. (Actually DWM is amazing, and Hyprland is sorta weird?)

You know, it's not that bad. Doesn't even seem to be as memory crazy as everyone seems to say either...idk what I did, but it appears to be using around a GB, maybe a little less. Definitely not the experience I remember from the Gnome 2 days. Anyway, I was curious, so I was looking at the source on Github....and why the fuck is there javascript in this DE code? WHY. I do not understand.

Maybe I'm fucking nuts, but I actually kind of like the workflow, once I've applied a couple of "tweaks". But seriously, I am fucking gobsmacked at the JS thing. Why.

    Don't do it! Gnome is cancer!

    Go make a desktop icon. Do it! Fucking dark ages!

    It's too memory hogging (more than a Jetbarains IDE). I hate it, I hate desktop Environments, I use bspwm and i3.

    Gnome become sooooo unstable. Try install ANY extension, and wait the next "minor" version. It's like Gnome devs want to repel all potential users.

    @Demolishun LOL it's really not that bad. Maybe I'm just a dipshit, but after remapping a couple of keys, it's rather pleasant.

    @Jifuna Hyprland doesn't do a single thing that DWM or BSPWM don't already do, but people evidently go apeshit over it because it has "smooth animations". wOoOoOoOoOoOoO
