I would prefer something that's light without compromising on things that Microsoft figured out in the 90s and 2000s, and things that modern Apple computers can pull off now.
Apparently GNOME in particular is having a rough time in general, if other articles from ~~the same website~~ [omgubuntu](https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/03/google-drive-not-working-nautilus-ubuntu-26-04) are an indicator, but this seems to be a wider trend in desktop environments

Gnome is Javascript that runs in a webview. It's the same technology stack that we make fun of with the Win11 start menu. It's shit technology. No wonder it requires so much RAM.

Do you actually feel like Windows or Mac are more responsive with the same RAM?

GNOME isn't exactly light, is it? And there's still a few more variants.
