Why there is no ArmGnome edition? It is in repo, no one wants it or the performance is not so good?
I know I can install it, just asking.

We have been playing around with it, but as far as I know, performance is horrible and it's a pain to customize it.

Is it like this?
- The easiest is XFCE4 it is build from "independent programs" easy to customize
- KDE is known for customization but can have some problems in 5 different settings
- i3 is small, few packages needs just few config files

10. Gnome is lock-in
It's usually a question if one of the maintainers use the DE and wants to keep it working for us.

I installed Gnome through the repos on Manjaro Arm. The performance is really not good. As it the ui stutters all the time. I dont think it is worth it for now.
On the other hand XFCE uses 500-600mb ram at idle while lxde (raspberry pi OS ) uses 100-150mb of ram at idle (fresh boot and login)
With 4gb and 8gb models the bottle neck is not the ram but the gpu for animations.
edit: I would just say that if you are used to the gnome de, install it on Manjaro and try it out
I was just asking I use i3 or Plasma now Thanks for your experience with Gnome on ARM.
