gnome no longer defaults to wayland, which means performance on nvidia is normally just fine. I’m not a gnome fan, but it’s won me over the last few years. kde has come on a lot too, but it’s still a little hectic compared to gnome. you pay ease of use for customization. gnome has opinions, kde has options. if you want a gtk desktop that just works, budgie is nice. xfce and mate are awesome, but they’re very old school, fine if you want to put in the effort, but for out of the box use, I’d suggest cinnamon or budgie.
so, has anyone tried it yet? i installed it, but i have no friends, so testing it is a little difficult. the ui is nice, and the signup was easy enough. no iphone option yet, so the few people i know who might try it can’t, stuck in the walled garden as they are.
