I have a laptop that initially came with debian and gnome installed on it
when I got it ~11 yrs ago.  As it is older, it has gone through several
debian upgrades.  When I upgraded to Trixie, gnome seemed to be more
resource intensive than practical for it.  Switching to IceWM made
everything "behave better" (i.e. more responsive) in my eyes.
