Oh that's easy, make sure you're in the proper demographics to be using linux in the first place and then uninstall it
>and replace it with another poorly optimized, half-assedly designed GUI that needs hours of fucking rice that breaks literally every single release
>all for a minor cosmetic change
Hmm, yeah, you're definitely cut out for linux. I think you'll figure this out on your own. You'll have to eventually. I can see you getting very nitpicky over shitty linux GUIs in the future, maybe to the point of posting in desktop threads are seriously giving a shit about bspwm vs. i3 vs. dwm vs. penis.
Not what I mean by the proper demographic though. I meant "server users who only use a windowing system remotely, if at all". Those people use standalone applications with ssh -X more than they use DEs, really.
You can literally install OFFICIAL Ubuntu Gnome distro

jesus dude, put down the fedora and cool off cuz your sweaty as hell
>>53910672
linux DEs are all terrible and barely work for anyone.
if you're not using an OS that has good UX by default like OS X or windows 7 you might as well rice.

mentioning "fedora" in a linux thread will cause confusion

i wish i was joking
removed plasma and stuck to xfce instead.
atleast xfce works.

Either you have no idea what you're talking about or the problem is Arch (which still means that the problem is you because you were stupid enough to use Arch).
