Why so many Linux distributions come with Gnome as their default desktop environment? What makes Gnome so great? It has been a resource hog, in my experience.

@bender@twtxt.net Good question! XFCE us a better choice IMO

@bender@twtxt.net No idea, but I haven’t used GNOME since 2008. 😅 I, too, like Xfce much better. Xfce (and KDE to some degree) look and feel rather “traditional”, though. You get a standard taskbar and that’s it. Maybe that’s too oldfashioned? 🤷 I’m just speculating.
