I'm tired of fighting GNOME 3 to make it feel like GNOME 2. My next reinstall is going to be KDE. I just want a traditional desktop metaphor. π© Next major overhaul Kubuntu here I come!
Yeah if you're looking for a traditional/Windows-like metaphor, you're WAY better off with Plasma than trying to wrestle Gnome into that shape.
There is always Cinnamon for you.
Or MATE.
You don't even need to reinstall. You can have both at the same time and chose one or the other at each login.
Gnome 3 is long dead.
It is now gnome 40+
Nah, I think if you're on e.g. Debian oldstable you could still be on Gnome 3. That's not "long dead".
Old stable is going EOL fairly soon.
Maybe not long dead but it is long past its prime.
And it's still confining unless you add buggy addons that often crash after an update.
Kubuntu has always been a buggy mess for me, might not be the best way to judge Plasma. Unfortunately, I think that's where people develop their poor opinion of it from.
Check out Cinnamon for that GNOME 2 feeling.
