      Those of you on Gnome - Are you installing the gnome-tweaks package to allow desktop shortcuts, or just use keyboard shortcuts?

      Gnome tweaks yes, desktop shortcuts definitely not.

      I have refrained from using shortcuts on the desktop but it still takes some getting used to. I am assuming that is one "advantage" of using Cinnamon.

        Desktop shortcuts are fucking stupid..
        I have 3 only because I've been too lazy to go into settings and remove the defaults.

          @JaredBusch I agree. People will see my screens on various systems and ask me "where all my programs are". I don't see how some people can fill an entire desktop with icons.

              Oh let me tell you about my Museum director. He has a 27" monitor that is absolutely full of files. There is not a single icon worth of space on his desktop. He refuses to put anything into a folder or organize. Yet he often complains about not being able to find certain files. I wonder why.

                @JaredBusch Yes. Seems to be a common thing.

                  @jmoore I have tried to help users like this but they are so stuck in their ways, it does no good.

                    I'm running Pop_OS with Gnome. Over the last several months Gnome has grown on me.

                      @EddieJennings I've stuck with Fedora for a while now. I'm too lazy to "distro hop" and had some strange issues with Ubuntu on some of my HP machines. Haven't tried any other distro in a couple years. Definitely not Pop_OS. Apparently Arch is pretty popular now but I still won't switch any time soon.

                        I've distro-hopped back and forth between Pop_OS and Fedora. On my Lemur Pro, Fedora takes a good 10 extra seconds from boot to logged in, and I'm spoiled 😛

                          @EddieJennings I thought about buying one of their laptops but I will probably just buy a Dell/HP and load Fedora. Still can't decide.

                            I'm pleased with it. I also want to support their company, though I truly do feel more at home with an RPM-based distro 🙂

                              Is that brand comparable to Dell Latitude or Precision? Wife wants a new laptop soon so I have to decide on something. Was thinking about trying System 76.

                                  I actually try whatever comes default on the distro I use. So far, my favorites are Budgie and Whichever one it is that ships with Elementary OS.

                                    I like the ones where you can change everything and pick out exactly what you want and put it where you want. Because I don't like anyone's default settings.

                                    I used to run Gnome 2, XFCE and LXDE. For users now we put Ubuntu with Gnome 3 on every machine but I haven't actually tried to see if it's still 100% configurable. My guess is that it isn't.

                                            I am on Kubuntu 20.04, hadn't use plasma in a loooong time and I am really liking it currently.
