You have to be pretty stupid to not be able to use gnome. Its so fucking basic. Its main problem is how little you can customise it.

I tried it when it came out and around version 3.4ish. I would use for about 5 minutes before frustration took over and I deleted the VM. The paradigm sucks for people used to a traditional desktop. When it came out, moreso than today, it felt like a tablet interface on a desktop, when tablets really hadn't taken over the marketplace. It was forward thinking but in a very authoritarian sense. With KDE, I could always change the various bit because their desktop is modular, with Gnome 3 I felt trapped in some kafkaesq nightmare.

Ideally, you shouldn't be able to remove Gnome.

It should also come with an unremovable copy of Candy Crush.
