Let's talk about why I switched to Gnome and how I theme my Gnome desktop and what extensions I use.

Before everybody gets excited, I'm still on openSUSE Leap 15! OpenSUSE hasn't let me down and I have no intention to hop to another distro!

KDE, however, did let me down with Kontact and generally poor notification support on the desktop. I know KDE has notification support built into the panel but it's just not good. Notifications get hidden and are easily cleared by accident. Its just bad UX design all around.

For the record, I did test out other KDE distros like Kubuntu and KDE Neon (not Manjaro though) just to make sure it wasn't the KDE version I was running. Same issues on those distros.

And before people rush to tell me to try out Cinnamon, I already have. I feel Cinnamon's UX is straight out of 2010 and it's just bad.

And yes I'm aware that pretty much every DE has a notification center. I feel Gnome's is the best, followed closely by Pantheon's. KDE's is just bad.

The only other GTK-based desktop I have any interest in is Pantheon & ElementaryOS but as I said in the video, I prefer the "Windows-style" of a bottom panel over the MacOS style of a dock with a top panel.
