We were not using Gnome DE because the old WIFI Kernel driver (r8822be) was not as robust compared to KDE. This new Kernel 5.2 driver runs very well on Gnome (20190521 Fresh Install) and so far we are not losing the signal intermittently.
Installing Torbrowser launcher for the first time is an indication of how good-fast is wireless response. Same for adding ublock origin to it and for browsing or even to get dup. On top of that, there is a speed gain of 25% over the latest stable Kernel: 5.1.4-1.1.

The least we can say is that for Gnome it’s a real improvement.
Thanks to Realtek Corporation for their contribution on Kernel 5.2. Special thank’s to the Kernel team, we appreciate your work and efforts.
