I still use x11 with suckless dwm, but for work I'm forced to use Ubuntu 25.10 gnome shit. It's a sad state. Gnome owns all the process you start via gnome, that is why if gnome dies all the child process es dies as well, genius. Because the buggy mess, doesn't critical errors and never will have...

I don't know how you use gnome, if it doesn't crash for you, fine, good. But that's not my reality, it can crash because I open the laptop screen while being on an external monitor. It can crash because I'm screen sharing, it can crash because some software I used froze, it can crash for random reason (doesn't happen often, but still annoying).

I can tell from the way you write, no need to mention it.

No worries, I would like you to have it in written statement.
