This is my Gnome desktop right now. Nothing too fancy, just the usual Gnome 49 with extensions (Blur my shell, AutoAccentColour, System Monitor, etc.), a Win11 inspired background and two apps running (Vivaldi browser playing a Youtube video and Kew music player in a terminal).
I play around with configs and add-ons from time to time but i ALWAYS move back to this Gnome designed desktop and it fits my needs.

The best thing about Gnome: It's one of hundreds of choices.
I love XFCE personally, but everyone has multiple choices to pick the one they like most.

Would you recommend Vivalvi? I'm looking for a browser that doesn't consume too many resources, but I think that I'm asking too much nowadays.

I find lynx is very lightweight.

Vivaldi is a beast when it comes to handling memory. It has features that I've never found in other browsers eg. workspaces (similar to tab grouping extensions like sideberry in Firefox) . It still supports ublock. It can sync.
It is degoogled.
I use it on all my machines and android devices.
Another chromium based browser that I would HIGHLY recommended is Cromite - a fork of bromite. It is also recommended by the graphene OS team.
It's chrome, without google. Plus a ton of security and privacy additions and options. It doesn't have any added productivity or other features besides those.
It doesn't have a sync feature, but exporting is a thing.
It is great with memory, too.
PS. I don't have a computer or phone with more than 8GB ram.
(Don't worry guys, I also use my own user.js in ff, use tor, mullvad browser, etc.)

LibreWolf is FF stripped down
Or yeah go links/lynx for real lightweight

Yes I would, it's a really clean and polished web browser with lots of cool stuff inside (but the more you use stuff, the more it consumes ressources, like if you use the included mail client and the RSS feed client...).
If you're looking for a very light one, maybe have a look at Zen Browser, a fork of Firefox.

It's still effectively Chrome under the hood...

Likely not the original

As far as I remember, it's actually a variation of the famous Windows 11 wallpaper that I got a few years ago on Reddit, didn't keep the link but there was a bunch of these with some added light effects. It's a cool way to grab the attention of people around me :)

GNOME is amazing

I really like GNOME, but I'm so used to my Sway/i3 keybindings I've been using for nine years without any change... I just cannot switch. I'd also miss tiling.
Meanwhile, the two things I dislike with Sway:
But I use a lot of GNOME software, especially on my phone. :D
