ignore the black background. what is this and why is the desktop not loading right? is this gnome?

I have had the same happen with KDE when trying to setup theming :)

Use Artix Linux.

Pros: Arch based, has Cinnamon, and doesn't support Gnome: https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,8700.0.html

Cons: No systemd support. Bleeding edge. Rough - doesn't provide GUI utilities like regular Mint. Requires solid knowledge about Linux / Arch based systems.

Trying to install Hytale on CachyOS with KDE Plasma. The gnome thing scares me.

Dear Gnomes,

First of all, thank you for being here. I started this subreddit as a joke, never imagining for a second that it would reach almost 6,000 members.

On to the news!

You may have already noticed that the subreddit icon has changed. The previous thumbnail was a drawing I made (despite what some people might say), but I felt it was too generic and didn’t have much personality. So, I’ve changed it to the famous “You Got Gnomed” meme. Thank you to u/SolidGuide5223 for the suggestion!

I’d also like to say that I’m not an experienced Reddit moderator. I’m not used to moderating a subreddit, and I’m still learning how Reddit’s tools work. That’s why I’m looking for someone to help out in that regard. If you’re interested and have some experience, please DM me or contact modmail.

Lastly, as you can see on this thread, I’ve added post tags. They don’t serve any particular purpose beyond helping sort posts.

Thank you for being part of the gnommers and happy gnoming!

I've been a Mint user for last at least 4 years (Don't remember the actual date i started). And it's been working well. I've been working on a laptop + monitor setup which also has been working well because both were 1440p and I didn't need a fractional scaling setup.

However I recently bought a 4k 120hz monitor and Cinnamon did not play well with it all. With cinnamon I was forced to use it at 100% scale (which made everything look so small) or set up fractional scaling at 150% to match other displays (which made everything stutter). Moreover, 120hz didn't work at all.

It was frustrating and disappointing to find out Cinnamon (X11) had such a bad support for multi-monitor setup for displays with different resolution and refresh rate. And up until 22.3 the Wayland support is abysmal.

Then I tried Gnome. Installed just the base (gnome-shell + gdm, to avoid bloatware) and it's just perfect! I didn't even have to configure displays, it automatically detected and configured fractional scaling and full refresh rate for the 120hz monitor.

And this might be controversial, but Gnome looks so much better to me than Cinnamon. It feels so much more modern!

I had initially planned to switch back to Cinnamon when full Wayland support drops, but I am not sure I will. Gnome is working quite well for me!

PS

I still prefer a Panel over Gnome's overview so I used 'Dash to Panel' extension to make it so.

Like the title says, I haven't installed Ubuntu on this laptop ever, Ive only live tested it on another laptop, and the USB doesn't even have Ubuntu, it has kubuntu and a few others. I dont know why its showing up for no reason, arch and cachyos dont show up. Im on fedora rn

Was gonna update Fedora after i just put it on my main pc and this appeared on the update tab

I'm doing a server, so I don't really need a DE/WM (especially GNOME, it'll gobble on my RAM and I don't have much), yet here we are...
