  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Gnome has a core featureset and a robust extension-system if you need more. There is no bloatware in Gnome.

    Why is there noticeable delay tho when you open apps like Nautilus or Settings? Not even the terminal opens instantly

    I don't really know what you mean, I don't have a delay when opening apps, at least not a noticable one. However, do keep in mind that Gnome isn't really meant for slower hardware.

    Running Manjaro Gnome on a thinkpad from 2020. This is the ootb experience for me

    You are aware that Manjaro ships a heavily modified version of Gnome (lots of theming-stuff and extensions)? You should try vanilla Gnome (eg. on Fedora/Arch/VanillaOS) or try disabling everything.

    Worth a try. However, the Debian Gnome my university offers has similar delays, so Gnome at least tends to get slow in the environments it normally gets used in. Based on obersavtion. I also don't remember noticing those delays when I tried other flavors of Manjaro like i3
