Why I Use GNOME

Linux gives you an insane amount of choice when it comes to how your desktop looks and works. After years of trying them all, I keep coming back to the GNOME desktop environment.

Why?

• Get things done, not tinker. GNOME gets out of your way. Everything’s where you expect it. No distractions, no overcomplicated menus. Powerful and easy-to-learn shortcuts.
• Your command center. The Activities Overview is brilliant. One glance shows you everything that’s going on. Switching between tasks is a breeze. It’s like gaining an extra hour in your day.
• Not dumbed down. GNOME understands that simple doesn’t mean limited. It comes with what you need and lets you add more if you want. The open-source community behind it is incredible.

GNOME is for people who:

• Actually want to use their computer, not customize it endlessly.
• Like their tools elegant and efficient.
• Appreciate multiple, clean workspaces
• Prefer efficient, keyboard-centric workflows.
• Believe in the power of open-source.

I’m not saying GNOME is perfect, or that it’s for everyone.

But its focus on the essentials has kept me coming back for years.

If that sounds good to you, why not try it out?

GNOME 46: The last tweaks before launch

They’re not adding flashy features, they’re fixing the cracks. Smoother logins, snappier performance, apps that actually launch when you click them - it’s the little stuff that matters.

Think of it like tuning your favorite instrument.

You don’t change the whole design, but each adjustment makes playing it just that bit sweeter.

GNOME 46 is about that steady, behind-the-scenes improvement that makes your workflow sing.
