My GNOME Experience...

It’s almost 1 and half year I am using Linux in my main laptop. Honestly I was never big fan of Windows UI, always felt little crowded for me. When I switched to Linux, I saw there are so many desktop environments… but most popular distro using GNOME only.
First I used Ubuntu, they use their own custom GNOME with little touch. Then I tried Pop OS also. That also same type only. But slowly I realised I actually like the raw GNOME more than any customized version.
There are other desktops also like KDE, XFCE… but GNOME is different for me. Very simple. No unnecessary things. Just clean UI, clean philosophy. Every app also looks neat and peaceful. That part I liked the most.
People say GNOME is not super customizable, but with extensions you can change almost anything if you want. And the gestures for workspace and window switching… that is my favourite part. Very smooth.
And right now I am on GNOME 48, and honestly it feels even more refined. Small things improved, overall experience very comfortable for me.
So yeah… after trying different distros and desktops, GNOME gives me that calm, clean vibe I was searching. Simple, stable, and satisfying....
