10 ways GNOME is just BETTER

Alright, You’ve convinced me to go with GNOME instead of XFCE for my Fedora install

Extensions are dumb! Instead of having a consistent interface that users, developers and support can use as a common framework, the just crap all over it.

you cant say best for every video choose what is best? its fine you can install them all and choose where login LOL and all of them have bash

I like a common design language. But everything that runs within the modern Gnome ecosystem shares more than a language: they share the same vocabulary. They look so much alike that sometimes I'm not even certain what app I'm looking at or what that app is for. I mean there's commonality and then there's militant uniformity. IMHO, Gnome has gone way too far toward the latter.

For me, the whole debacle of gnome vs KDE comes down to what do you want. Gnome feels smooth and i have never experienced any visual glitches and it feels super polished as a casual os for a laptop, but KDE feels more like geared towards a typical desktop workflow and it's been a couple of years of absolutely no glitches or inconsistencies in the ui, specially if you don't try to set some weird themes.
Some people say kde is bloated because it has more settings available from the ui, i guess they forgot what something truly bloated is like a windows laptop.
Both KDE and Gnome are really good looking out of the box and give a pretty good experience on default settings, only minor differences set them apart and those will dictate where you gravitate towards

One reason to hate gnome : Big title bar wasting your screen real estate.

KDE is like my head....scatter brain.

KDE is a great desktop and can be very visually attractive, but I find it a bit overwhelming and messy with so many options. I want my desktop to get out of the way and Gnome is perfect at that. It also looks great and operates smoothly, if I want to tweak then extensions work well without overdoing it. I can see why some users prefer KDE though. Horses for courses.

Two syllables are much better. G-nome. Just like x-face instead of xfce.

Been a Gnome user since before 1.0, especially after 2.0 it surpassed KDE 1.1 on usability and design.

When Gnome 2 was released, I was pissed that many options had been removed, but then I realized that better defaults instead of tons of options made for a much better experience.

After Gnome 3, I was, again, quite disappointed about the bold move of adopting a touch-centric approach, with huge elements on the screen. However, it has been much polished over the years and it feels incredible in all devices.

Even when I felt that Gnome made some decisions I disagreed with, and tried KDE again and again, never was able to stick with it, it's always been Gnome.

Is there any news on gnome os

Recently bought a computer from System76 and really like the customized Gnome experience. Tried KDE for the last week but I think I’m going to switch back to Gnome

It is like GNU/Linux or just using Linux because most use GNU as a part of the entire desktop so saying Gnome or just gnome. I am not as keen on people knowing this or the fact that I use the distro that I like best now. You know the line with arch but am not using arch now. Most of this might be me just babbling so really my comment is in the first sentence.

The bottles app is just a blessing🤌🏼✨

My biggest gripe with GNOME is the defaults are awful. 99.9% of gnome users use a full task bar... they use a dock... etc etc all these extensions. So WHY would these not be built into GNOME by now? It's been years! Starting from scratch trying to get a good GNOME setup makes me not want to bother anymore after losing my config.

I basically prefer Gnome over KDE, just because of being more simple. It takes only two hours after landing on Gnome for the first time to learn whole of it! It really stays out of your way.

KDE's biggest advantage is also its biggest disadvantage. There are many configurations and layouts available, too many! It's all too easy to get overwhelmed by this and forget that a system is supposed to be about getting things done, being productive at something in whatever your job is, not setting up your environment with no end in sight. This is exactly why I gave up on KDE and use Gnome instead. Just give me a simple system that works.

I want to start using gnome should I install it through Ubuntu or fedora, which is better?

i prefere KDE

Thanks for making this video!
I think I'll stay with KDE. I can't explain why, but GNOME simply ain't it for me.

There's just something about the look and feel of gnome that keeps me from leaving! The stability, cohesive design, and animations are just the best. I've tried KDE and love the sleek lines, but feel the animations are lacking and it breaks too easily. XFCE is snappy but takes too much work to customize the themes one element at a time. Mate feels too retro and isn't as customizable. And Budgie has my favorite look, but lacks the broad hardware support for some of my devices... Each one has its strengths, but gnome is like the Mario of Linux- never overstated or amazing, but simply solid and reliable.

Of course better... U have 10 cors.. with 32+gb ram... Intel..

Hey, I can't find it in this video, but at some point I think you mentioned doing a video on Gnome window tiling. I've been keeping an eye out for that. But maybe I am mistaken?

Gnome without extensions would be nothing

love gnome but i don’t know why the system preferences are so barren. i know they are trying to keep things simple but it lacks stuff regular users are looking for and supplied in all other system preference interfaces

Not only someone has s-ed on your face - you've EATEN it! It's 100% half- a double s ed

Arch gnome 43 with wayland is so amazing.

Can I download it and install it on my MacBook. Or do I need to do something else.Never used Linux before

The app I don't like / find disappointing is Totem. VLC/CLapper are way better. Gnome Batch/multiple file/s renaming is really great - krename sucks!

A Perfect Circle, nice!

Gnome Icons are very ugly i dont like it

I'm not technically disabled-- but will be LOSING ONE EYE-- (removal) MONDAY-- and would LOVE a video from you that is slow- deliberate and showing all these features SLOWLY and the proper way to use them.

You mentioned phones-- IS THERE a LINUX phone with absolutley NO GOOGLE BU....IT ON IT?????

Is there somewhere I can find all this WRITTEN DOWN? -- You rattle this off so damn fast and screens switching so fast, my eye doesn't have tome to focus before you're 3 more screens down the road.. and i can't catch a small section of it much less the whole bit of information. MAKE A VIDEO- slow and deliberate- showing how each function works PROPERLY-- so idiots like ME can catch it.. Maybe a few more of us KDE folk would like gNOME then..

I hear that all the time-- and since the new version (43) came out- it DOES look much better... and I think it would be efficient.. since POP os is based on that setup- and works great... but I can't get use to the flow. I"D LOVE TO SEE A VIDEO on someone using Gnome for their normal work for an hour or so- and explaining what is happening as they do and why-- maybe I've been using it WRONG???? I'm a kde guy-- but gnome- as I said- does look GOOD... CAn you or someone make a video showing it IN ACTION for a while- like half hour at least- doing "normal day to day stuff" and showing what you're doing and why??? I just want to see how "GOOD" it is- used RIGHT!!!

Here's a PSA on pronunciation: It's pro-nun-see-ation, not pro-nown-see-ation :)

for me I will use both, gnome when I just use touch pad / laptop mobile style, kde when I use the laptop as desktop style, focusing on mouse/keyboard which means if the laptop docked

can you please try Q4OS 4.11 Gemini? weird little distribution.

Cinnamon best

Firs love, KDE then dicovered Gnome .... :))

Call me when it's possible to change my desktop background to a solid color without obscure command line commands or tweak applications.

Gnome feels like elementary school to me after using KDE. I just cant stick with it, its lacking in so many features im used to using in KDE. But then again im one of those guys who likes to tinker. I will admit sometimes it needs to be simple and just work. For business use i would prefer Gnome over KDE so people have less to screw up and need IT to come down and fix it. Looks nice but thats it. Linux has a DE for anyone honestly, thats another reason i love it.

if i cant put a shortcut to the desktop what is it? its not a desktop. its a toaster menu app.

My biggest issue with Gnome is that when I move the pointer to the upper corner of the screen and click, it doesn't close. I have went past the clickable close button and have to readjust. This is very annoying and very time consuming after so many clicks.

Gnome software is honestly best in class and there's not a single store on linux that comes close.

You miss driver issues 🙃

how to install openbsd with gnome and how to manual partitioning it with lvm please make a video on this topic.

I first used Manjaro with Gnome and didnt realy like it. Since then I switched to Fedora and after customising Gnome I love it.
