Hell yeah, Oxygen
They need to stop messing with things that work. Feature creep is how Windows XP turned into the dumpster fire it is today. Does the interface have a working file explorer? Does it support add-ons? Does it have a file search? You're done.
"But . . . "
You're DONE.

As long as I can still customize Gnome with some extensions for improved focus, it'll stay my DE of choice.
I did that for a while, but ultimately got too frustrated due to a few things:
- Having to explore extensions in the first place for fairly basic functionally that I would have expected gnome to naturally implement
- Every update would break extensions, and I'd have to wait for the extension author to update it, and about a fourth of the time the extension was abandoned and I would just have to go without or search for a similar.
- At their best I always felt a lot of the extensions were having to settle for a lesser experience due to limitations of the extension mechanism.
Ultimately, I found that experience I was trying to get to that gnome never would normally support and would evaporate on updates and never be quite right anyway was just a natural featureset of Plasma. So I just do that and haven't had to sweat updates nearly as much as when I kept trying to make a go of it with gnome shell. I kept giving it a shot because of my gnome 2 experience (admittedly augmented by compiz), but gnome 3/mutter have not been a good fit for me.

It's a fine DE... But boy making appindicator/KStatus an un-officially-supported extension is dumb
I love GNOME and hate KDE
When i switched from Windows to Linux, i wanted actual changes, not just a slightly different look
Unrelated question: does anyone know how to show the time in fullscreen or merge the bar with window close button with the top bar with the screen so there arent 2 different bars in GNOME?

Gnome has more in common with hyprland than it does with tablet interfaces

What's better?
Fluxbox, obviously. \s
EXWM. With evil mode, obviously, I'm not a complete monster
Did you fight in the Vim Emacs wars? 👩🏻🔧
I've bridged the gap, I have A S C E N D E D
I am a veteran of that war. I shitposted for Vim. The scars that war left will never heal. The nice doctor here is trying to get me to use nano. Baby steps she says. But she say says soon I will be using Kwrite.
:q No wait! I think I meant :q! Crap, I wanted to save that. :wq
