Using Gnome and a dual monitor setup isn't ideal.
Using Gnome and a dual monitor setup isn't ideal.
The Gnome desktop acts like Windows Bob in the Linux environment.
I’m still using Fedora, so I filed a bug report in their tracker some time ago. It’s the appropriate place, though no one seems to be paying much attention. It might get closed once 36 issues are resolved. Unfortunately, Fedora has been very unfriendly toward users for years, and I’ve stopped contributing bug reports there. It’s a shame because they offer a solid distribution, but their attitude has been consistently negative across all platforms.
That would be KDE. Gnome feels too quirky and needs improvement. Evolution has become the top email client I've found so far. If there was a Wayland alternative, I'd choose that, but it doesn't exist. KDE runs slowly and has issues, so I'm settling for gnome, which is actually quite solid now.
KDE runs smoothly without many distractions. Have you ever used Windows 1? By what do you mean the gray side? FreeBSD is impressive, but I stopped using it mainly because their NFS setup isn’t great. For my current setup, it’s fine and reliable. Of course, deeper use might have uncovered more issues. I keep it going since OPNsense depends on it, and it performs well.
I gave Windows 1.0 a shot. The biggest issue was its quirks inside an ant nest—unlike Windows, the bugs were clear to the insects. In reality, few people are aware of it, yet they use it daily online. I haven’t touched BSD in over a decade because those early problems got resolved thanks to the simplicity of XFCE. Arch Linux fans, don’t forget the RTFM button that pops up even for simple questions!
Hmm, you haven't tested version 1.0 yet. Why would you think gnome is more unstable than that? It doesn’t even crash. XFCE doesn’t work well with Wayland, does it? I don’t mind using X11, but I do see the value in moving forward and embracing change. Someone said Arch Linux is for the weak, but I tried installing it twice—first it wouldn’t boot, likely because I disabled certain modules as the guide recommended, and the second attempt turned into a long struggle I can’t recall why. Eventually I gave up because I wanted to see results. Reports suggest updates are even more problematic than with Gentoo. So far, it looks like I’ll have to return to Debian, regardless of what you think.
