Kidplayer_666, in Saved my ass a few times

Imagine having backups and not being on the testing branch of the beta version of a distro while running a custom kernel that is on alpha (Context, im on testing branch of fedora 39 beta with the asahi kernel)

Everybody in here does all this crazy shit with their system. I just wanna use my computer, man. I cruise on defaults all day long. I barely even bother changing the DE's default wallpaper.

My top priority for a desktop is stability, which puts Gnome squarely at the top of my list. Gnome may not get features first, but they’ll do it right in the long run.

The go-to meme is VRR on Wayland in Gnome, which is taking forever with a major roadblock being how the cursor is drawn on screen. KDE has VRR support now, but (surprise!) it doesn’t work properly when a cursor is on screen. So you can either have no implementation or a broken implementation. I don’t mind Gnome choosing not to ship a half-working feature. I also understand the KDE team’s decision to have something in place for some use cases even if it doesn’t consistently work, but that’s not what I personally want out of a desktop.

Both KDE and Gnome are fucking amazing projects, this circle-jerk of “gnome bad because development slow” is a waste of time. Let’s spend more time bullying Microsoft instead. Have any of you used the Windows desktop environment recently? It’s fucking trash.

I like GNOME. It’s very consistent, has very few bugs, and stays out of my way when I just need to get shit done.

tapep79891,

Good for you

db2,

Me too, I’m using Cinnamon. 😆

dauerstaender,

I got most of my Linux desktop time used KDE but just after switching to Wayland hated it. After every update that fixed some kind of show stopping bug they introduced another one. I then switched to gnome and have been happy ever since, even if I don’t like this whole macOS UX stuff, but it simply works and doesn’t break once you touch it.

I’d rather have an app with unnecessary options that nobody will ever use than one where some UX expert somewhere has decided the exact way I have to interact with the program.

My favorite example of gnome attitude:

Gnome 3 carries forward virtual desktops, but now they can only be arranged vertically, and some folks complain they don’t like it that way.

Eventually gnome changes their mind and now virtual desktops are only allowed to be arranged horizontally…

Even fvwm had custom geometry for virtual desktops, doesnt seem like it should be that hard. The fact that they changed their minds you would have thought to be a clue that it should be configurable, but no…

Every time I try gnome I walk away with a feeling that I might as well use Windows. In fact, Windows has more powerful window management than gnome at this point.

So it’s always back to Plasma.

Virtual desktops are arranged on a one dimensional axis. Whether it's vertical, horizontal or fucking diagonal doesn't really change how they work. It's just fluff and animations, really.

We get it, Gnome devs bad, find a new horse to beat to death already.

tapep79891,

Hi Emmanuele

db2,

Whatever that means.

And exactly how many times is this going to be reposted? What are you trying to achieve with this?

tapep79891,

Moderators keep deleting it. Definitely nothing suspicious like the mods being red hat employees.

neurospice,

Again with this “red hat employees” 🤣 get a grip

What’s up with the cum frappuccino line? Is it supposed to be homophobic?

Hawke,

No it’s just disgusting

atmur,

I mean, have you seen Gnome’s Gitlab issues? I swear people treat it like a Reddit comments section sometimes, which just wastes everyone’s time.

barsoap,

And that’s just a subset of Debian distros. Debian is like 1/2 of the height of the tree

Actually, I went to a Yoko concert once… my gf bought the tickets, don’t look at me like that, all wanted was p*ssy 😭.

gentooer,

Don't care about this whole drama that someone is trying to start. At the end of the day Gnome is just the most comfortable DE for me personally. Plain, simple, beautiful, no cascading dropdowns, no distractions. Customizable just enough. The next option would be XFCE, mainly for a great balance between performance and niceness

Ascend910, in Accurate

I don’t get it

the_q, in Why are gnome devs like this?

Seems like a KDE fan is mad.

stepanzak, in Monster

Why not? It always seemed to me like a lot of duplicated work to package everything on every distro.

Chewy7324,

Yes, but each package manager has it’s (dis-)advantages. It’s great to have flatpak and docker to be able to run software on almost all distros, but the OS still needs a way to update.

Almost all immutable distros use multiple package manager.

  • Fedora Silverblue: rpm-ostree + flatpak (+ toolbox)
  • OpenSUSE MicroOS: zypper with snapshots (transactional-update) + flatpak (+ distrobox)
  • NixOS is unique since it only uses the Nix package manager
  • immutable Ubuntu will probably only use snap for OS + apps.

All those OS support distrobox and docker additionally.

merthyr1831,

all the more reason to sunlight these old packaging formats and move to universal solutions like flatpak and nix
