I use Gnome, but I just wanted to say Cinnamon is fantastic (probably my first choice if I weren’t on a laptop)

Or Cinnamon! IMO it feels less overwhelming than KDE to people coming from Windows.

Is this doing something similar to Mint’s web apps? Great to have as flatpak regardless 👍

I recommend Runcat, its the only extension I have installed aside from blur my shell (:

I do like gnome for how out of the way it stays. It’s easy for new users to understand its lack of distractions and start to actually just use software on it. It’s got its target audience.

I’m not saying it can’t be done better. Cinnamon, my current personal choice, does most of the same things right.

I haven’t used KDE much because of graphical issues on my device, but it seems like a nightmare getting workspaces or gestures set up. It seems like the polar opposite of ‘distractionless’, where you can spend hours learning and/or getting lost in a maze of submenus. I understand that’s an appeal to some.

I want to love KDE, and I might retry sometime soon, but as a casual it does make me appreciate what gnome is doing.

Out-of-the-box Cinnamon & Gnome moment

I own a Samsung phone running Android ‘UI One’. I’d argue it’s more agressively proprietary than something like Windows is.

Minor compatibilities aside, Nothing that Windows itself has to offer, maybe some wallpapers I can just get online anyways lol

Debian for a while, now Mint (I’m a Cinnamon freak)

After going back and forth from Gnome and more traditional DE’s, the latest Cinnamon scratched this itch for me. Shoutouts to the Mint team as well 👍

It feels like a result of someone reposting/screencapping and censoring the f-word, then a reposter trying to put it back
