Lobotomizing Gnome (2018)
For someone that only runs 3 programs (terminal, emacs and firefox) gnome is a terrible choice.  In fact, a desktop environment is a terrible choice.<p>&gt; I want good text rendering and windows and buttons with rounded corners<p>You don&#x27;t need gnome or KDE for this.  I run a primarily terminal oriented desktop, but my GTK apps still look great.  I still run picom and could easily do rounded corners if I wanted.<p>My point is that there are much better options than gnome if you want a beautiful minimal setup especially if you get into tilers.
