Not surprising, when gnome it's already the default everywhere.

GNOME is polarizing with its feature minimalism and non-traditional desktop, and many people therefore are unhappy it's the default choice in all the big distros.





Gnome is just plain not the best choice for default. More people are better served with KDE for instance.

Then why are not other distros that provide other defaults "big". Why do people use distros that lack the features that they want?
