Gnome has stagnated significantly.

I'm not sure this is bad? It's still maintained, and it isn't like there are frequent revolutions in UI design - if it works, it works.

Slow and boring is a pretty nice place to be.

It doesn't really work for me. The first thing I always do with it is installing a taskbar extension.

The Gnome desktop that shipped with Solaris over two decades ago is just as useful, possibly more useful, as the tablet-oriented hamburger menu UI of today.

Yes, two decades: https://adtmag.com/articles/2003/08/04/solaris-gets-a-gnome-...

If only it had stagnated around gnome 2.0.

MATE exists. You can use it right now.

The people on the Red Hat desktop team that work on GNOME are killing it. I think you might not be paying attention. Not every change is visible.

GTK is still alive. It seems like Cosmic desktop with GTK apps will be a reasonable path forward. Of course there's KDE and QT, but I mean as an alternative to those.

[spookie]

Cosmic isn't there yet. I don't use GNOME but at least it works.

[aprilnya]

Has it? I feel like Gnome has made great progress the last few years

[throw10920]

Could that be due to increased popularity of KDE?

Linux on the desktop isn't a lucrative business
