as it should be, nobody likes proprietary vendor-locked formats that get shoved down your throat

If you call 6 pages a novel, that’s on you…

not even full pamphlet lenght

This is very similar to my experience tho I have skipped most of my ricing/customization phase with Gnome bc I just didn’t feel the need to do much about it bar a few extensions

I’m glad Fedora comes with the most usable no-bs/out-of-the-way (in my subjective experience) DE by default. Yes I do run it with Tweaks and a few extensions, but otherwise I have no need for extensive customization for customization’s sake (which seems so many ppls problem with GNOME, smth that I couldn’t find more irrelevant), since everything about its UI/UX is so intuitive. I understand if people don’t like its opinionated workflow, but it’s just right for me personally…

I don’t get the proposal either way bc Fedora has always been the spearhead of vanilla GNOME and there is an official KDE spin iirc
