If only it looked bad but performed well, I might still take it. No matter how many times I try, it's just not stable for me to daily drive.

What are you trying to run it on? An Arduino? I haven't tried it on a raspberry pi but I've never had an issue with performance on GNOME and I don't have the latest hardware

I also never had an issue with Gnome... 🤷‍♂️

They like to complain about the memory usage on startup. Because it caches a lot of applications for fast loading. It will clear them when required. The more memory you have the more it will use. My laptop has 16gb it uses around 3gb on fresh boot with Fedora 39 and GNOME, I recently upgraded a 10 year old workstation to 64gb (because it was cheap) and with Fedora Silverblue 39 it uses a bit more memory on startup. Unused memory is wasted memory.
