> it just works

For some definition of works, like a folder with 300 videos loading for 15 seconds and image viewer unable to open 150MB images.

I prefer how Gnome works compared to KDE, but I can't get past the ridiculous performance issues.

Your use-cases are hardly average. I don't think I ever encountered 150MB image or folder with 300 videos. I don't even use nautilus outside of the very niche cases. I'm using Chromium or Terminal or VScode or Idea 99% of time. My GNOME is just a shell switching windows. Whatever file managers, image viewers or other stuff bundled with GNOME matters little for me, I can easily replace them. I don't even understand the concept of DE, this is just wasted work to maintain those apps. They even develop their own browser...

A computer should have no problems at all dealing with a 150MB image or 300 videos. I'm invoking cmuratori here. What do you think you are getting out of running defense for objectively broken/unusable software?
