This is the best decision. I was going to leave Archlinux today because it has Gnome installable. But now I stay with Archlinux!

I knew it ā€¦ too many extensionsā€¦ :rofl:

It is only the beginningā€¦
Arch will remove all DE packages from Repository soon.

It is simply too much bloat and in benefit of arch stability, no GUI will be supported by the end of 2022.

EndeavourOS will indeed stay as close to arch as possible EndeavourNOX is in the making already
:rocket:

:yum:

Interesting, anyway. There are arguments for and against the decision. In any case, I havenā€™t been using Gnome for years, only Cinnamon at most, even though at that time I chose Gnome because of its simplicity over the overdecoration of KDE.

33

KDE can be made to be simple as with ease which is why I use it, I can customise but donā€™t need to mess with heaps of stuff to get it working the only time I reallt have issues is when I have tried changing something I donā€™t fully understand

34

Back when there were only a few DEs and I first encountered them, Gnome seemed more customizable, more configurable than KDE

35

I never really liked GNOME, but this is just my opinion. BTW back when? there have been multiple deā€™s available for years and years now

36

Back to the turn of the millennium, when there were four big distros (Debian, Suse, Red Hat, Mandrake + Slackware), from which most of todayā€™s distros come from, and as DE there were KDE, Gnome, and Xfce, which I didnā€™t know at the time.

37

So like 20+ years ago now

38

There is no decision to skip Gnome 43 in Arch Linux. It was a joke.

39

Many people did not understand this joke then.

Yes, in the early 2000s. A generation has grown up since then. Back then, desktop Linux was not as mature as it is now. I think itā€™s the most stable, and most customizable desktop environment is still Xfce.
