    Who uses Gnome these days? i have used the forks Cinnamon or MATE, since gnome shell was introduced.

    It's great that there're so many good window managers to choose from.

    A majority? I mean use something else if you like them better, no need to shit on GNOME

    There's plenty reason to shit on gnome, they took off in a direction and changed the whole look and feel, without any option to keep something like the gnome 2 layout.

    The introduction of Gnome 3 scared me away, the initial version was garbage. I switched to XFce and MATE, and eventually ended up with Cinnamon.

    They may have made it usable, but I still don't like the user interface.

    So you like windows style UI. Great, good for you.

    And what kind of UI should I like oh wise one, I'm not worthy of your wisdom, please tell me, I'm begging you!

    We already know the answer, hence my comment. We heard from you that windows is better and Mac os is trash. What else do we need?

    It is absolutely bizarre to me that (a few, vast minority) people hate gnome so much. It feels smooth, modern, and stable while the others I've used feel mostly like an amateurish glitchy version of windows.

    You could always just not use gnome and let others use it. I think KDE is janky but I don't really say that until people jump on the gnome hate bandwagon
