From a non techical user perspective.

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.

Nobody is going to hate you just for being American, chill

How many people were using X11 on GNOME?

Yes, it’s technically a huge change, but regular user won’t see a difference

I must check it out, thanks

Honestly, not much changed since GNOME 40.

Is it a bad thing? No

Do I want more changes? Also no

The only thing missing from GNOME for me is proper dynamic tiling. I’m trying Forge extension, but it feels clunky
