The only thing to boycott are GNOME dev’s mentality when it comes to things outside their DE (especially Wayland protocol adoption). It’s slowing Wayland development a lot
I agree. I am personally a fan of server side decorations. I use tiling Window managers which means I do not need to have extra buttons (browsers) or bars (looking at you, thunar) to close, minimise of fullscreen an app. Heck, one of the reasons to use a tiling wm is to maximise the usage of screen real estate and with these extra bars and buttons you’re taking some of that away!
They have no intention of sparing a thought for anything that isn’t gnome. It’s a shame considering their corporate funding and influence over the linux desktop.
Linux the past 15 years across 4 different companies. CentOS, Ubuntu, then Arch. Now I’m stuck with MacOS, and it’s worse in every single way except laptop battery life of the M2. Which, is nice when moving around. I’d still prefer a more powerful desktop computer since I’m 99% of time time in one of two places.
We use Ubuntu at my work. Custom built image PXE booted so every restart is fresh. Has its pros and cons. Libre office does a decent job at replacing Office but we use Google workspace so most users are moving off local files. 90% of our users work could be done entirely through a Web browser so OS doesn’t really matter as much any more.
