I can play more games now but my overall experience is worse.

I am not happy with the desktop environments we have now. I have to use a custom Gnome Shell to make my experience acceptable.

I used to feel that way but now I'm less picky and am comfortable using the stock version of any desktop environment, as long as it's stable and supports basic functions. There comes a point when you'll realize you're swimming against the tide for very little gain, and it's easier to just learn to be flexible.

I'm not picky, st least I don't think so. I just want the DE not to get in my way.

Unwanted popups, slow and "fancy" effects that makes your workflow slower, weird default behavior (like alt-tab with gnome), multiple clicks to do what you used to do with 1, etc.

I don't think that's being picky, it's just wanting something that works and doesn't infuriate you with every new update.

I know the feeling of the DE getting in the way, part of resolving that for me was just learning to work with the DE rather than working against it and resisting changes. If an old workflow is slowed with a new update, it might be time to adjust that workflow and look at it in a different way.
