Comment Comment by dapperdrake GNOME essentially gutted itself when it switched away from GNOME 2.Somehow they still stuck around as a broken default. Go figure.IIRC, then a lot of documentation still mentions GNOME first and then KDE second.Furthermore, Ubuntu without the prefix is GNOME. Kubuntu is KDE. And all the others like Lubuntu, etc. all seem "special" to casual users.Think of what the average university student installs in a VM, when they need to run some random command-line tool. Plain stock Ubuntu.And GNOME lives on as a sorry excuse for a bad copy of MacOS desktop looks without the feel. parent dapperdrake 1 year ago
