I was wondering what happened to the proposal from a month ago…

    I don’t really get what people mean when describing Gnome or any DE as “out of the way”. I’ve never felt like KDE was “in my way”.

      I really couldn’t find a better way to describe how it feels to use gnome. I am used almost all tiling window managers through the years. I always got lost in configuring my setup. I know I didn’t have to, but there was almost another step of optimization that was available to me. This is not a bad thing in and of itself, of course. I have been using gnome o arch for the past few years, a plank/dock extension, a system tray, and a clipboard manager. That’s it, there is nothing to fiddle with, to distract me. It is entirely personal. I just can’t stop myself from trying to optimize my desktop/workflow if there are still ways to optimize it. Before gnome I was using my WM/DE and then the applications necessary for my actual work. Now, the DE is “out of the way” and I just do what I actually have to do. But again, this is entirely personal.
