I mean GNOME is…fine. I don’t use it, because if I wanted something that chewed up 3-5GB of RAM I’d just run Windows, but if you like GNOME, you do you.
This is Linux. It’s all about choice. Run what you like. It’s your goddamn computer. And that’s what we all love together.
Gnome uses around 1.6GB on my machine and runs a bit smoother than KDE (although last time I tested was 2½ years ago; so that may no longer be the case. I’m on a 240Hz panel aswell, so my experience may not be applicable to most users).
Since 4 months I use Gnome on a 100Hz display at work. At home I am on a 60Hz panel. I cannot justify buying a new display, because the older 60Hz has still better colors and automatic brightness, which isn’t very common, it seems.
But I want higher refresh rates now everywhere; a dilemma!
I’m using a Dell S2522HG, that I calibrated using a colorimeter. Best display I’ve ever had. Not sure if they sell it anymore as 24" panels seem to be dying out.
