From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Everything opens up immediately. My PCs perform well. I dunno where you got the weird animations lie from.
I've used XFCE plenty. XFCE would hinder my productivity massively, so nah I'm going to pass on that.
Still nothing on the "gnome massively reinvents the wheel every 2-3 years" thing? Not surprised, considering it was BS.
Removing desktop icons, forcing the activities view as default at some point etc. do you need more examples?
So your proof of Gnome "reinventing the wheel every 2-3 years" is them removing desktop icons (good riddance btw), idk, 7 years ago or something? And activities view (amazing for productivity and I wish others would catch up to Gnome here) well over a decade ago?
Yes. I will need examples. Because those aren't examples of what you said - show me how using Gnome is night and day different to 2-3 years ago, and show me how using it then was night and day different to 4-6 years ago.
