    I enjoyed this article. It’s well written and easy to understand, with great illustrations. I cannot say the same about Gnome, I recently gave up on Ubuntu because the animations were sluggish even on my relatively powerful desktop, with a Ryzen processor, 16GB RAM, and SSD. Slowdowns on simple recurrent operations are unacceptable. So I switched to Kubuntu and the difference is astounding. How can KDE do so much more without sacrificing performance? Why would anyone willingly choose Gnome when there’s a truly capable desktop environment at their disposal?

      Gnome runs just fine on my 6 year old Thinkpad. It's not perfect but I don't expect perfection from the specs I'm running it on. I'm surprised you found it unacceptably slow.

        It’s not an absurd slowdown/choppyness just a pervasive lag that is subtle yet noticeable enough to bother me.
