I used unmodified GNOME 40 and 49 for a week. There were few changes, I could absolutely see myself using the older version and not missing much.
In my opinion GNOME 4X is as good as linux DEs get. I would like to see some popular extensions getting official support and native dynamic tiling, but besides that it’s hard to see room for improvement.
Removing X11 is a big deal, but most users won’t see it as such.
Except for removing 40% of the code base in this release.
From a non techical user perspective.
