There are a plethora of newer DE, windows manager, Wayland etc...
But nothing compare with #Gnome2 + #Compiz, for this reason I use #Xfce and #WindowMaker; all the rest is boring...

Bring back GNOME 2 days with GNOME Shell Frippery!
GNOME 2 was a release series that had its initial version, 2.0, that was rolled out to users on June 26th, 2002. It looked antique at the time, but, over eight years until the last release in the version series, 2.32, that was released to the public on September 29th, 2010, it looked more and more attractive from new detailed icons to new features and more.
Since then, GNOME 3 was released on April 6th, 2011, to promote simplicity and minimalism.
However, most people who were used to GNOME 2 didn’t like GNOME 3, so alternatives like MATE existed. Now, there is an extension pack for the latest GNOME version series, called GNOME Frippery Shell, that allows you to change your GNOME desktop to make it look like the GNOME desktop in its golden days.
You can install Frippery either through the GNOME Shell Extensions website, which is recommended (search for Frippery), or use one of the following files:
- GNOME 3.32 (RHEL 8.10): gnome-shell-frippery-3.32.4.tgz
- GNOME 40 (RHEL 9.5): gnome-shell-frippery-40.2.tgz
- GNOME 46 (Fedora 40): gnome-shell-frippery-46.1.tgz
- GNOME 47 (Fedora 41): gnome-shell-frippery-47.0.tgz
- GNOME 48 (Fedora 42): gnome-shell-frippery-48.0.tgz
After getting one of those files, extract the contents to one of the following directories:
- System-wide install: /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions
- User-wide install: ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
Since the release of GNOME 3, a packaging request for Debian has been filed, but it was met with a lack of response for the whole fourteen years until the package has been finally pushed to unstable, with our expectations that Debian 14 (to be released 2027) will be the first release to ship this package. Then, Ubuntu adopted the package according to the Dssktop Team Integration Squad report as the first item to be listed in this report. Here’s the report about Frippery:
Sponsored Sébastien Noel’s packaging of gnome-shell-frippery into Debian Unstable. This package has been on the wishlist almost as long as GNOME 3 has existed. Unfortunately, Debian is entering Soft Freeze now so the package won’t be included in Debian 13.
However, this is GNOME 2 mixed into GNOME 3, so the powerful system is still required. If you wanted full GNOME 2 experience, we suggest that you install MATE or any other suitable alternatives.
Are you ready to experience the GNOME 2-like desktop?

@thelinuxexperiment I'll always be thankful to #Canonical for getting me into GNU/Linux. I left #Ubuntu when #GNOME2 was no more. I never liked #Unity or #GNOME3.

@mnnwvn GNOME 2 был шедевром. Начиная с версии 3 GNOME не заслуживает внимания. Есть форк GNOME 2: MATE. После выхода GNOME 3 я перешёл на MATE.

Ich gebe zu, #Debian war (und ist) mir etwas zu konservativ. Auf meiner Suche nach etwas mehr #Privacy beim Surfen bin ich nun aber bei #ParrotSecurity gelandet. Recht aktueller Kernel, Tor auf Knopfdruck, einige Verschlüsselungstools out of the box u.s.w..
Schon in der Home- Edition also recht gut ausgestattet.
Zudem der #Mate- Desktop (Fork von #Gnome2), also GTK- basiert. Könnte ich mich dran gewöhnen.

I'm a #MATE user, by the way (continuation of #GNOME2). So far, it's the only #DesktopEnvironment I've used extensively. Perhaps some day I'll try #GNOME.

e niente mi è successo nuovamente!! mi sembra di essere tornato ai tempi di #compiz e #gnome2 un viaggio nel tempo, ho installato una #endevouros senza desktop manager con #hyprland su un vecchio laptop e il risultato è stato fantastico, non solo mi sono ritrovato un ambiente fluido e gradevole agli occhi, ma mi sta regalando anche un piacere che avevo dimenticato, lo scoprire nuove cose. Poveri utenti windows non sapete che vi perdete

If you loved #Gnome2, you'll love #Maté.
Just imagine an alternate universe where Gnome didn't go hell bent for leather to re-invent the wheel, and they kept polishing and polishing Gnome2.
That's precisely what Maté is.
I'm not a huge fan of Ubuntu, but Ubuntu Maté (even in a VM) is probably the best way to experience it.

Aaaand to honour that history, and keep the achievements and functionality, #GNOME2 brought us, #MATE forked it 11 years ago and provides what #GNOME developers worked on for most of its lifetime to future generations and all those who wanted to keep using their desktop as it was instead of relearning how to use it

@may_sex Gnome3 и выше никуда не годится.

@may_sex Почему? Другое дело, что Gnome3 никуда не годится, в отличие от старого доброго Gnome2.

> #Windows is the absolute best
It is best advertised. #Microsoft is great in advertising.> user friendly
Some #Linux distributions are user friendly. I was using #Ubuntu (with #GNOME2 and #MATE) in few years, and it was user friendly. I use now #Debian (with MATE and in terminal), and it is good for me; Debian is not for illiterates, but I heard Linux #Mint is easy even for kids.> software compatibility
Some incompatibilities are created artificially. -
And oh these desktop effects such nostalgia from #Gnome2 days, I'm definitely going to waste so much of my productive time configuring every single thing down to the smallest detail according to my preference, as much as I won't be even remembering my configuration.
