Nevermind the donation pop-up, how can people use gnome? It's unusable, it interface is literally the worse UI I've ever had the displeasure of using only second to macOS.
I believe that gnome is actually what is keeping many people away from gnu/linux, since it's default on many distros, people install "linux" and they get gnome and gnome sucks so they hate on linux instead of hating gnome.
Context: I'm an i3 and plasma user depenending on my machine with one exception.
I find Gnome to be in the way 100% of the time, until I put the mist and konquer down and start using the touchscreen. Its a nice DE for touch oriented devices, but it really sucks to navigate with moist and keybread imho.
Edit: the one time I don't fix my spelling someone comes along and says something. I'm gonna make it worse π
Ah, yes, the classic β¦
noise and keyboard
moist and keyboard
morse and keyboard
