    Gnome has been rock solid for me and I’ve only had a handful of issues in over 5 years on Fedora.

    Gnome focuses on reliability while KDE focuses on innovation

      Well I had this one time I had issues with commands being sent to the shell. Super - arrow keys changed ttys instead of desktops and in the middle of updates I hit Ctrl c to kill a terminal app and it killed gnome desktop which killed the update process which bricked my system. Also XWayland apps are just buggy in ways I’ve never seen anywhere else.

      It was real frustrating to set up with those bugs. My mother uses gnome but I refuse to install extensions because they break literally every single version of gnome. I probably should have put kde on her desktop tbh.

      Reliability? Gnome maybe stable… per version! New resease? New breaking change! Screws all your extension and themes, and removes certain features because its “a decade old” or something.

        I’ll keep saying it again and again: Gnome only “breaks” your extensions if you install them from a different source than your Gnome version (I.e. from the website). Install them from your distro’s repo and you have no issues.
        Same as all other software: let your package manager handle it.
