Agreed on your first paragraph. I use Mate which allows me to sidestep ~80% of gnome's abuse, however some still leaks in through GTK, I think.

Re the second, I haven't built an app from source since about 2005? or so.

Yeah, I should have said Ubuntu Mate. It solves most problems.

I've had to build apps from source - but these were free extras, not things I needed for basic functionality.
