I absolutely love (slightly tweaked) gnome. Fight me if you want, I'm sick in bed and have time.
well if you're sick in bed this will be an easy fight...
I elbow slam your face, your turn
You activated my trap card! My sickness was but a simple ruse to lure you into complacency! Your attack was weak, unfocused! I jump up, standing on my bed, your face is now easy prey for my unnaturally sharp knees. The structural rigidity of your nose is now forfeit!
Much like the Gnome user experience! :-D
I'm also sick and in bed, and this is such an appealing offer of a sparring match, but alas, I've never used Gnome
this makes you the ideal candidate for an internet argument !
Well, use the time to try it, I guess.
Man, they already said that they're sick. Have some mercy!
Fight, fight, fight!
Yeah, it's almost usable but I suspect most people don't wanna deal with broken extensions every new release. Last time my extensions broke, all I had to do to fix them was changing the target version in the manifest. Clearly, there weren't enough changes to the DE to warrant breaking them and they were just broken on purpose.
Yeah, it usually takes a week for the official versions of the extensions I use to work again after a gnome version update. It's easily worked around, usually, but that hard break every update sucks.
I just dislike the way KDE structures it's menus more, and while I suspect that I could tweak KDE to be something I like using, I also suspect that that would be much more annoying to fix for the next mayor Update.
I sometimes think about swapping over to i3, but I haven't yet had the leisure to give it a try.
Do you mean the application menu? Not trying to evangelize here, it's just that I almost never see it because Krunner is so integrated with everything in KDE that it feels like the intended way to launch stuff so I find it weird that the application menu bothers you.
If you mean the menus on the applications themselves, fair enough, I guess. I also don't understand why they're still just a regular app menu (File, Edit, etc...) but crammed into a single button.
Yeah, the single menu button is my biggest issue with KDE apps, I wish there was a way to turn that off system-wide instead of having to do it for every app.
Oh, yeah, that also annoyed me. I actually meant the settings menu, though. I have set up KDE for friends/family a few times, and depending on screen size and scaling, even in conditions that shouldn't be edge cases, there where sometimes scrollbars in both directions.
I also just, kinda don't like the vibe, I guess? That's extremely subjective, I know, just something I noticed every time I worked with KDE.
prepare....smack!
Its good for people who like the one very specific workflow they go for.
My main problem with it is they cause problems for like every other DE. GTKs insistence on only supporting CSD makes any GTK app integrate so much worse on anything else. (Vice versa having no fallback ssd, so apps are just broken on gnome if the toolkit doesn't support CSD)
Or all the problems it's caused with various Wayland protocols by refusing to compromise or saying nothing until it's almost finalized then coming out against them.
Like Valve explicitly calls out gnome as unsupported because they refused to implement DRM leasing for years.
I don't dislike gnome because of the software itself, opinionated projects are good, even when I have different opinions. I dislike gnome because I think it's a net negative to the Linux ecosystem as a whole.
