I made this post because I really like the design of GNOME, and although i’d like customizability, it is mostly enough for my everyday needs. But I want to understand why people may choose other desktop environments…or why you would/would’nt use GNOME.

    and the way I open apps - press super and start typing it’s name and enter. So simple, so fast.

    that… is the way one opens apps on every mainstream de by default? be it a start menu (plasma, windows, cinnamon, etc.), list menu, (old plasma, many old de’s), or some other launcher, i think that’s pretty standard

      It’s been a while since i used any other DE but i remember Windows being slow couple years ago on high-end pc, and i remember a de where super did nothing, think it was Xfce. Nice if most major DEs have this feature

        fair enough; i didn’t know you were talking about lag[1]

        i’m fairly sure that xfce does this (or it might just have been the way mint sets it up), but i couldn’t tell you for certain
