Why can’t we just have toggles under settings (like we did in the past for desktop icons), works for you, works for me. Everyone will be happy.

Especially desktop icons are difficult to get right

This doesn’t just affect desktop icons, icons in general suck under Linux. Things have strange behaviors when selected, long names don’t work properly etc.

But most importantly: GNOME doesn’t want to be a traditional (Windows-like) desktop, so why would they implement features that don’t align with their ideas for a desktop experience?

Because GNOME is the only DE with some potential and by not having 2 or 3 simple optional features aren’t getting more traction. I bet half of the KDE users would be glad to use GNOME only if it had desktop icons. Using other DE doesn’t make much sense as you’ll inevitable run in GTK and parts of GNOME and having to mix and match to get a working desktop experience.

Again, GNOME had icons, v3.28 discontinued them for no other purpose than trying to re-inveting something that worked for a ton of people.

Yeah pure gnome would be great if they:

  1. provided desktop icons (like they used to);
  2. had an option to disable the activity BS on startup and go straight to the desktop.

But oh well, the GNOME team is more occupied with censoring comments on their blog and trying to re-invent the desktop environment experience with animations and whatnot instead of focusing on what really delivers productivity.

Maybe you can convince Gitea guys to work on that? After all they’re the leading open-source alternative.

Still garbage. Why is it so hard for the KDE guys to actually design something simple that makes sense? Starting with proportions and spacing between elements that they seem to be unaware of?

It depends. Old Windows games actually work better in Wine than on modern Windows.

Never saw this happening. Also wine has overhead.

What games are we talking about? If they’re Windows games you may be better using Windows, no extra overhead and complexities.
