Yeah, GNOME is fine. I used KDE for years and got tired of the jank, so now I'm back in GNOME. It's fine, it launches applications, browses files,and tells me the time, which is about all anyone really needs from a desktop environment. It does a lot more too.

I think it's a great experience. It's not for everyone, but nothing is. Use what makes you happy and cheer on projects that fit others' needs, because the more people use Linux with different configurations, the more functionality we'll all get and the more bugs will be fixed.

The beauty of Linux is the freedom you get to do whatever you want. What's not so beautiful however is the people that will tell you the choice you made is wrong and you should feel bad about it and that you are stupid for using not what they chose to use.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
