Who uses Gnome these days? i have used the forks Cinnamon or MATE, since gnome shell was introduced.
It’s great that there’re so many good window managers to choose from.
A majority? I mean use something else if you like them better, no need to shit on GNOME
There’s plenty reason to shit on gnome, they took off in a direction and changed the whole look and feel, without any option to keep something like the gnome 2 layout.
The introduction of Gnome 3 scared me away, the initial version was garbage. I switched to XFce and MATE, and eventually ended up with Cinnamon.
They may have made it usable, but I still don’t like the user interface.
Probably most desktop Linux users? …
I love gnome. People love KDE but I think it’s not very good.
Most? Is that guess based on anything?
I am sure getting accurate data on the subject would be impossible, as Linux users are more likely to not consent to the type of telemetry that could track that.
I think it’s the majority, still. Not sure if that’s technically changed to KDE with Steam Decks though.
Asking “who still uses $thing”, where $thing is the most popular thing in its category, is peak Lemmy.
It’s the default for Fedora and I think Debian too but don’t quote me on the second one.
Me I use SUSE which lets me choose what DE to install.
