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?
With something like dash to dock or dash to panel, you get extra functionality while still retaining the stock workflow of gnome. I myself use near vanilla gnome with dash to dock, clipboard indicator and gsconnect. Out of those only dash to dock modifies the workflow but in a way that supplements the stock workflow.
