Not sure if this is the right comm to ask in, but I have been hearing people praise GNOME lately, which contradicts my prior experience with GNOME in live environments a few years ago.

I'd like to ask, what is the appeal of this DE compared to KDE?

What didn't you like about it when you tried it?

IIRC, I did not like how restrictive it felt. I can't speak of the details as I don't remember enough about it.

it's intentionally restrictive on the surface because it helps alleviate the anxiety of people who have only used windows or mac before.

i think of gnome as the gateway drug of the foss world; if they like it enough, they'll want more.
