After years of distro hopping, I had one to many updates which borked some driver & realized what I'm really looking for is my laptop should be boring stable appliance. Incredibly happy with it so far.

After doing the same, I also want to say how much I underestimated Gnome. It was in a weird state a decade ago but now it’s so nice.

    I must say, I did go the KDE route. I haven't given gnome a shot in awhile ~ I just recall needing so many gnome extensions. Would you say that's changed?

    You only "need" extensions if you want them. GNOME by default is its own thing that's pretty different from win11 and kde - everything goes through the overview, things like desktop icons and dash to dock break the intended experience.

    I hated gnome, I found KDE much more feature rich and for me at least way more user friendly.

    It probably depends on what you want or need from a desktop environment. I use Fedora with Gnome and I quite like it. The one thing I didn't like was that you can't alt-tab between multiple windows of a single application.

    You can. Alt + ~
