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.
It doesn't need to be beefy. Pretty much any video card made in the
last 10 years should work. Since the capability is there, why not use
it to make the desktop work better?
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.
Whatever graphics card you have, whether integrated or discrete, will
work, unless you have a really old computer. Like I mentioned in
earlier, I run Mate on some old P4s from 2005. That's fine, they can't
hold enough RAM for much else anyway.
I don't understand why the few of you in this thread feel the need to
exaggerate so badly in order to put down Gnome. I get that you don't
like it for whatever reason, but you haven't actually given any reason
other than it's different and you don't like it. Your comments about
the graphics requirements are just hyperbole. The only current usage
where it might matter is in a VM, but then why are you running a Gnome
desktop in a VM? I even setup a vnc login for my son to use temporarily
and that also used Gnome and worked reasonably well.
