Valid criticisms

I’m still on it because I like its apps’ UX and Plasma still feels unpolished.

I mean , you could add its UX as a criticism too, but it’s also the whole point of Gnome3 is to be … whatever the fuck it is they are going for. OpenSource mac+? Plasma feels unpolished because its plain and unassuming, and you form it into what you want it to be.

Also it gets funky with multi monitors, so I have widgets getting scaled randomly on the 2d monitor, and have

oh shit son, you running this show too? Nice work trying to keep people in line and keeping the knowledge around, and again, great work on your light touch moderation on YSK, you’re doing great.

What’s your poison?

Gnome in comparison is better than windows ui

I haven’t tried 11, but IDK, for me Gnome feels like it’s trying to be futuristic while being a deranged cross between an Ipad and a fisher price toy.

But then again, macos or whatever the fuck they are calling it looks like that, but less futuristic

You’re right. I updated my post just before your reply.

I spent some time in the mid 00s installing various modification programs on windowd to modify it with stupid shit I found on deviantart. It would have been better if I got to do it on Linux.

Although some enshittification is happening for certain viewpoints on Linux, with some propriety things being allowed and the systemd DOB debacle, and AI on fedora.

$currentYear was meant to be year of the Linux desktop! Why isn’t it?? 😡 Those oafs should be on here by now

Edit: it really highlights the two kinds of patriots. “My country is the best country, anyone criticising can get away from us” and “I am proud of what my country has and has achieved and I want it to be even better; here’s how we can make it better because we lack X,y and z”

I’ve got Ubuntu on my desktop to run my audiobook shelf

that’s why it has the ubuntu bg

But what could it mean?

Samizdat?

САМИЗДАТ

Idk, I’m not a gnome historian, in fact I’m a hater

can’t they just fuck cinnamon?

thank you for the rec

I’m half “my computer sucks and I don’t want to risk making a mistake and install it on my actual real HD and kill my projects” and half “I prefer just jamming shit on the trashpad” and half "what’s your recommended way of spinning up VMs? I’m on debian btw

BACK! 🎉 Back better (late) than (n)ever!

fantastic, ever since the Dylan debacle I was looking to at least try a non systemd distro, I will try to install it in a few months on my trashtop we use for kids vids

does it use Systemd or not? wikipedia was unclear :
