Gnome really isn't intended for those systems anyway. Gnome-shell

I find this just crazy. Why should just the desktop interface require
a beefy graphics card? I use Mate because of that silliness.
To prepare for apps that need beefy graphics cards. If the apps
potentially are going to need it, use it also.
If I was doing fancy graphics in the programs that I use, then I'd
consider spending an outrageous amount of money on the graphics card.
But not just for the sake of the desktop interface.
So you go to a UI that is built on the assumption that there will be no
beefy graphics apps. That is why I realized I did not need where Gnome
was heading. I do not do heavy graphics like my oldest son that is a
mechanical engineer and has to use all those beefy 3D tools practically
all the time he is at his system.
