    Because it just works and looks really good out of the box. Its the only DE with good, seamless fingerprint support for example

      I didn’t know that about fingerprint support, but my experience of it is it not working but getting in the way, and looking a bit pants compared to kde

        Nahhh KDE is the one looking pants. In Gnome everything is very consistent and in KDE very much not so. Even something as simple as the toolbar looks ass.

        Gnome is very intuitive too, I like the window overview and it just doesn’t get in my way.

        I was an i3wm user before going to Gnome. All the defaults just work, which saves me time

          KDE is consistent, and much more configurable. But I mostly like the defaults barring where my toolbars go and switching to single click open for files. Will Gnome even allow me to have one main toolbar vertically on the left hand side of the screen, then two axillary auto-hiding short ones on the top and bottom right with programme shortcuts on one and the taskbar on the other?

          > in gnome the few things it still does despite the dev’s desire to make it as bare as mac os while keeping it as heavy and sluggish as they possibly can are very consistent

      What do you mean? I’ve never had a problem with it on KDE, Fedora at least
