After decades of using different window managers, fixing broken configs with major updates, fretting about multi monitor config etc I started using GNOME. It might not look as sleek but I’m a lot more productive now.

In the end I’m just glad we have so many choices.

the majority of people don't actually want choices though.

If they don't want to choose, that's fine by me. But why tf they didn't want choice? They could just stick to whatever is the default and let others who wanted different choice have their way.

Them using gnome doesn't stop you from using whatever you want actually.

Right now it's pretty much how you want it to be.

I didn't specifically comment on GNOME ma dude. Just the other commenter that said most people don't want choice. I think it's not "choice" but it should be "choose". Having to choose can indeed become confusing, so there should be a default or pre chosen choice. Having no choice means you are locked in. Hence my comment. I am having no problem with people not wanting to choose, but people that do not want a choice is when I am starting to have a problem.
