• GNOME vs KDE PlasmaKDE Plasma replaces the activities overview with configurable panels and widgets, offering extensive appearance settings and integration with KDE applications.
• GNOME vs XfceXfce is a modular desktop built around traditional panels and windows, with a settings manager, and its available version depends on your distribution.
• GNOME vs CinnamonCinnamon uses a traditional application menu, panel and system tray instead of an overview, and supports applets, desklets and extensions.
• GNOME vs EnlightenmentEnlightenment combines a window manager, compositor and minimal desktop on the EFL libraries, but Wayland support is experimental and releases are source only.
• GNOME vs MATEMATE continues the classic GNOME 2 layout and is packaged in many distributions, though full releases arrive only every few years.
• GNOME vs BudgieBudgie is a simple desktop with its own panel and application menu, designed to stay out of the way while remaining customisable.
• GNOME vs LXQtLXQt is a lightweight Qt-based desktop with lower resource use and X11 and Wayland sessions, but it has fewer integrated features than GNOME.
