I’ve already passed along the Slackware patches to our GNOME maintainer and he wasn’t impressed. And that’s about all the effort I care to expend, since I wouldn’t be caught dead using GNOME. It’s not for me.
That’s fine DE’s are personal but the larger point is those distros that don’t want to adopt new tech need to start creating and maintaining the things they need to operate. The contradictory path is hard for a reason.
Just don’t like it. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it but you won’t catch me using it. If I was personally more invested in GNOME then I’d put some effort into getting it to work on Artix. But alas, that’s got to be someone else’s cross to bear.
I used to use gnome, but I moved to XFCE when switching to Artix last year. I must say I think I like it better. I still get to use a convenient desktop that looks GNOME-ish, uses GTK, has a bunch of theme options, and is a lot more lightweight than GNOME without requiring systemd. It seems like the best of possible worlds at present, although I’ve wanted to try out a tiling window manager like dwm for fun. I’m not sure I’d be able to get used to/comfortable with using one as a daily driver though.

Can you say why you wouldn’t be caught dead using GNOME?
