    Yeah, if you need to install extensions to make GNOME usable, GNOME is not for you. Seriously, there are other options. I can’t stand using GNOME, but they have a vision they are sticking to and I can respect that.

      Cinnamon is probably the best DE to give that old GNOME feel. At least in my opinion.

        Cinnamon is so close to the way I configured Gnome with extensions. Just that Cinnamon does not need any extensions for that. Best GTK based DE I think.

      Or you just wait a little before you update or keep the extensions to small changes that are easier to update!

      Most distro maintainers disagree as they also ship Gnome with extensions pre loaded. Gnome with some extensions is an awesome DE.

      Nah. This smooth brain paradigm is what causes problems in the world. “I respect your ideas” stfu, Gnome is bad
