I want to like it but it ain't as minimal like openbox/i3

>why does /g/ hate ________?
Why even question why they hate it?
>>
>Those fonts
>That tablet UI
Hideous.
>>
they hate it because it is big.

i find it alright., mostly use it.
>>
>>51638483
>tablet UI
End your suffering.
>>
>>51638572
I did, I use KDE now senpai.
>>
i like it

but its all too...big

too tablety. i have a fucking 1080p monitor, i dont want to waste half of it on a single fucking menu
>>
I remember when comfy meant something, now it's just "a thing that I like for whatever reason."
>>
Because it's absolute pure grade A shit.
>>
If you could at least customise the panel properly like every other DE i'd consider giving it a try but it's just fucking awful like that.
>>
>>51638428
Bloated as fuck. Moar bloated than when I eat a whole pizza. Really slow and a resource hog too.
>>
>>51638428
But I do like it, you fucking weeaboo.
>>
It's okay but I don't use it because it needs a lot of addons to be useable (which the gnome devs break every time it updates), it's bloated, and the developers constantly do retarded shit (like that shitty pressure sensitive dock at the bottom of the screen, which they later removed for some dumb shit in the bottom left corner of the screen, instead of just putting tray icons in the panel).

>>51638834
You can

>>51638834
You can customize anything in Linux you meat-head.

I'd really like GNOME-Shell if it came with the tweak tool and the minimize button ootb. Cinnamon is fine by me for now
>>
>>51638973
This.I'd like to see a dark theme and multiple workspaces as well.
>>
>>51638973
why ottb? just general laziness? not like it's hard to add that
>>
>>51639020
No, I really don't like the idea of installing extensions via a web browser.
Furthermore It'd be a real pain to update my post-installation script (I'm ready for memes) just because I want to add extensions in the GNOME-shell
>>
But we don't hate GNOME 3.
>>
>>51638947
OK go install gnome, move the clock to the far right of the panel and add a proper application window list like every other DE has (not just icons or only the current window).
I'll wait here while you work your magic.
>>
>WM Theme: Adwaita
Enjoy trying to change that lol
>>
>>51639076
well i guess that makes sense.
>>
>>51639145
Superkey deprecates all your faggoty mods.Gnome is for productivity, not special snowflake art projects.
>>
Change dock colour to transparent please phamalam

What did it use to mean?

>>51639377
>only moves clock to the left of the tray, not all the way to the right
>(not just icons)
>>
>>51638973
>and the minimize button ootb
You mean this? Yeah it's German, but that's were you add a minimize button. Or am I not getting what you're talking about?
>>
People just remember 3.2 or whatever and call it shit based on that.

It's come a long way.

it is fucking retarded. why even bother having shit show up at the top if it just shows the open window? the older gnome where it showed you all of the open windows in the bar was 100% objectively superior

for fucks sake alt+tab doesnt even move between windows if they are the same program
>>
>>51639097
Is this stock GNOME 3? Or are you using a skin? It looks really nice.
>>
It's because /g/ is more hiveminded than they think, as is most of the Linux community.

It's ironic because one of the appeals of Linux is chances are your desktop is 1 in 1000, you have a choice. The problem is most 'spergs use Arch with a WM and call it a day.

If you like just a barebones system, that's fine, but I found myself less productive with a barebones system than with one. Ricing your GTK theme and slapping an anime vector on a pastel background isn't being productive.

In almost every Linux video I've seen, with people who are influential or knowledgeable, use Gnome or some variant, mostly Unity. I have yet to see anyone prolific use just a WM whilst being productive.

>INB4 "I-I'M A SYSTEM ADMIN AND I USE I3 ON MY CHINKPAD"

Gnome 3 is fine, it's come a long way and continue to improve, much like Unity. Sooner or later, the 'spergs who shit on Gnome 3 will be using it.
>>
>>51638428
Why does /g/ hate Unity, it's really comfy!
>>
Gnome 3 >> all
>>
>>51639611
thats clearly to the right of the tray, look at the screenshot and the screenshot in op
and it has icons and text
>>
>>51638973
You don't need the extra buttons. Middle-click title bar to minimize, double click title-bar to maximize. Not that hard.
>>
>>51639546
That it reminded you of autumn walks or winters in bed.
>>
>>51641041
Hygge is the new comfy
>>
>>51638428
Gnome 3 is great once you add a few extensions.
>>
>>51641075
Forgot pic
>>
>>51639949
Not him but that's definitely not stock GNOME 3, OPs screenshot is much closer to stock. He has a bunch of Shell extensions installed plus a Shell theme.
>>
>>51641052
Danes are some of the comfiest people
>>
>>51639657
Is this the tweak tool?
>>51640723
Thanks, I didn't know that
>>
>>51639377
>extension to move a fucking clock
Wow.
