TheGrandNagus,

Same on Gnome software

But I guess I agree that it should prompt you when doing it through a TUI

TheGrandNagus,

Flatpaks have been amazing for me.

My home directory is a lot cleaner, dependency issues are a thing of the past, it’s easier on the developers, I’m getting updates faster (not having to rely on distro maintainers), my installs are more portable than before.

I wish we had Android-like permission setting, where it pops up asking if each program can use X permission as it requests it.

And I wish Gnome settings would implement some of the more basic flatseal options (flatseal can still exist for power users), although that one isn’t a shortcoming of flatpaks itself, it’s more to do with development manpower on the Gnome side.

Overall I’m really glad that one of the biggest annoyances in Linux is getting resolved. We’ve finally pretty much agreed on an app distribution and packaging standard

TheGrandNagus,

It’s reliable, customisable, everything is doable in a GUI, and has a Windows UX that people are familiar with.

You could also list a bunch of insane stuff about X11. The security being hilariously bad, random tearing all the time, terrible multi-monitor support, terrible gesture support, etc.

X11 lacks basic functionality.

Wayland is already the present for most Linux users.

Shit, it’s been enabled by default on Debian since 2019. Debian. The famously slow-moving distro.

TheGrandNagus,

Of course it matters. Maybe you didn’t know, but Wayland doesn’t exist in a vacuum, X11 is the other choice. How could you possibly think it doesn’t matter lmao

Most distros are already Wayland and have been for a while.

TheGrandNagus,

You should care about issues in X11 because you’ll be facing them if you don’t use Wayland. This isn’t a difficult concept.

TheGrandNagus,

You’re the one that’s slow.

This isn’t an announcement they’re moving to Wayland, Wayland has been the default for years.

It’s not irrelevant. If you’re not using Wayland, you’re using X11. Keep up.

I don’t think I can dumb this down any further to help you understand.

TheGrandNagus,

Convenient. Realises how thick he is then runs off.

Bye bye. Stick to your broken display stack lmao.

TheGrandNagus,

Bye bye

TheGrandNagus,

What a handsome chap

TheGrandNagus,

I use blur my shell, but I don’t really need it.

I started liking Gnome a lot more once I let go of trying to recreate the Win95 UX that pretty much everyone else uses.

It was such a pain at first, but then it just clicked and now I couldn’t go back to that clunky workflow.

I know most people like it that way, but IMO Microsoft didn’t create the perfect UX paradigm back in the early 90s

TheGrandNagus,

She gets mad horny whenever Ransom has his shirt off, then gets angry at herself for it

Respectfully, I love how powerful KDE is but my god they can’t make things visually consistent to save their lives!

From inconsistent icons, to different KDE apps using wildly different design languages, to padding being inconsistent all throughout the DE and their apps, to fonts and their sizes kinda being all over the place

But at least a custom theme is trivial to install and solves most of it

TheGrandNagus,

People have absolutely lost their damn minds over the RH thing lol

TheGrandNagus,

God damn 😳
