GNOME

A linux desktop environment that seems to gather strong opinions.

Comes by default on Ubuntu, and was what I used in my experiment, My experience with Ubuntu in 2020.

Some say GNOME is amazing. I use it only because it is required to use PaperWM.

Factorio devs klonan and raiguard in 2024 said its dumb:

Most desktop environments will allow windows to supply their own decorations if they wish but will provide a default implementation on the server side as an alternative. GNOME, in their infinite wisdom, have decided that all clients must provide their own decorations, and if a client does not, they will simply be missing

This prompted some responses
