[OPINION] Gnome Online Accounts (Google)
(lemmy.ml)
I thought I'd share how happy I've been w/ my Gnome experience these past few years despite the occasionally controversial UI/UX decisions the Gnome folks tend to make.
I use Gnome Online Accounts integration w/ Google (drive, e-mail, calendar & contacts) and it "just works"™ & it does so quite reliably.
It's so polished & well-integrated in the desktop that I often don't even notice that I'm using in on a daily basis ❤️
PS: I'm using Gnome 44.3 on openSUSE Tumbleweed running on an old ThinkPad T530 w/ an nVidia GPU.
In general GNOME is frustratingly good. I do find myself wanting more options for customisation every once in a while, and jump to another option. But after a week I remember that no other option Is as smooth and polished and end up right back with GNOME.
Cinnamon has been doing a great job for me. On ubuntu 22.10+ you can use
sudo apt-get install ubuntucinnamon*and it'll install a themed version (but lightdm3 shows Ubuntu 22.04 for some reason)
