    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.

      Conversely, after I tried vanilla gnome, I can’t go back. It gets out of my way, is pretty bug free, visually consistent, and the workflow is lightyears ahead of anything else I’ve used.

      The Win95 UX paradigm that pretty much everybody uses just seems so clunky to me.

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