![]() I used it for a little bit and it's quite nice. I wouldn't exactly call it slow but it's not instantaneous. It's not slow, but it takes like 1 second to load apps like Spotify or Firefox.

Gnome 3 is so heavy that on an older laptop like mine it just feels slow. There is also KDE witch is full of settings that you can treak to you hearts content and then there is the real widnows like DE XFCE."īy the way, i dislike Gnome 3 just because it's really heavy to run.
