    Gnome is great! My go to… I don’t understand people sayin it uses too much ram. My 2011 macbook (has 4gb ram) running arch with vanilla gnome only uses around 700mb at desktop. Not that bad.

      Gnome used to much worse when it comes to ram usage, so the inertia of those sentiments still carry.

      Kde used to be much worse, using what gnome uses now, but now kde has similar ram usage to xfce last time I tested. CPU wise it’s still much worse though.
