Shouldn’t you also, I don’t know, go to school, graduate and become an accountant or something?

When I grow up, I want to be a Playmobil. But a nazi Playmobil.

Say no more!

One day, a little boy’s anus will peer at you from every shelf in this country! (That guy, probably)

You have to ponder the fact that at some point, someone sat down and first planned to, and then actually made, painted and varnished this thing.

I thought it had been abandoned since 2003, but not at all!
It’s been abandoned since 2013.

A lot of things may have changed in ten years though. It’s good that nothing broke, but it’s not very reassuring.

I think it’s much more agressive in some territories. I’m in Europe an I never saw it either.

Otoh, I don’t boot windows very often, maybe once a month.

A herd of snipers does sound kind of worrying to be honest.

My version is 20240107. Apple has some catching up to do.

It was pretty much the same story for me (although much earlier, in the 1.2 days I think).

Gnome was great but you couldn’t rely on anything. They loved removing stuff to make it more “lean” or changing it to match their “vision”. They didn’t care about their users, only their circlejerk.

I’m not sure it has changed a lot in since then. I’m glad I dropped that dumpster fire. I still have no idea why it’s the default on so many systems.

At least there are many great options for those who want something else.

[ … ] what is it about DEs - or tbh more accurately, Gnome specifically - that has people being like “this isn’t what I want, therefore it’s a piece of SHIT. Why do they hate their users? Why do the users use it? Don’t they realise the devs hate them??”

You’re comparing Gnome and distributions which isn’t a very good comparison. Firstly because distributions are pretty much interchangeable, despite what people say, as they all pretty much do the same thing and install the same software, and secondly because Gnome has some history behind it.

In the early days, there wasn’t really much of a choice as far as desktop environments were concerned. You had a few fairly nice (for the time window managers), but if you wanted something integrated, there was Gnome or KDE. And KDE relied on the non free (at the time Qt). However Gnome kept changing and breaking stuff. The users kept asking the devs not to do it, and the devs quite literally told them to fuck off. A good number of people grew resentful towards the whole project around that time (and notably towards de Caza, who managed the whole thing). Soon enough Qt was freed, and many moved to KDE where the devs listened to users, where the concept was to empower and not to coerce. The difference was simply amazing.

I just suspect that you came in late to the show. I’ve had Linux on my desktop for close to 30 years now. So maybe Gnome got better, but it’s too late. They burned their bridges. As far as I’m concerned, it’s their turn to fuck off.

Now you know why there’s bad feelings towards them.

Burma is switching away. Liberia… who knows. That place is almost as fucked up as the US.

Ok, but nobody explained what the equivalent of “ssh -X” was supposed to be with wayland.

It’s yet another US weirdness. I’m not sure if it even makes sense to compare it to the original (which uses raw milk and can get as tasty as you like the more you age it).

I read while brushing my teeth. It’s not like there’s something interesting to look at.

It’s written in Python? Is that why it takes ages to load?

Distributions nowadays are defined by their desktop bling :(

It used to be that you could just install whatever desktop you fancied on pretty much any distro.
