Why moving away from GNOME?

  • Incompatibility. Every time update, there must be broken addons.
  • Conservative. It does not support layer_shell protocol, which is needed by rofi
    • https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/973
    • There maybe other protocol not supported.
  • JS based & Memory Leakage
    • The plugin system seems memory leakage consuming large chunk of memory. I have to alt-f2 r to reclaim a little bit memory.
