I’ve been running Linux Mint under XFCE for a while now and I am growing tired of it. I originally had cinnamon which I did not really like so I decided to go with XFCE and customize it to my liking.
However it’s been almost a year with that setup and I want to switch it up. I have never used Gnome before but I have a feeling it is the perfect DE for me.
I’ve heard a few stories of people trying to switch from Cinnamon to Gnome which was pretty unstable. However, does anyone know how going from XFCE to Gnome would be?
It should work on Mint as well, but the theming may be off you will probably have to redo Icons and such. Just FYI, XFCE can totally look like Gnome (look at rhino Linux) if you theme it. You may consider installing the SaveDesktop app and redoing your XFCE setup (the unixporn community has some great inspiration)
