Nevermind the donation pop-up, how can people use gnome? It’s unusable, it interface is literally the worse UI I’ve ever had the displeasure of using only second to macOS.
I believe that gnome is actually what is keeping many people away from gnu/linux, since it’s default on many distros, people install “linux” and they get gnome and gnome sucks so they hate on linux instead of hating gnome.
I was into it back when Gnome 3 came out… the problem is that I had to fill too many “holes” (for me, maybe not for everyone) in the functionality with extensions and those were quirky as fuck. You never knew what was going to stop working (or work differently) any day but without them, I could not function properly
And just to give you an idea of how tolerant I am with risk… my daily driver now is Garuda Linux with Hyprland instead of a desktop that I configured from scratch… my browser of choice is FireDragon which is a fork of Floorp which is a fork of Firefox
I am certain it is better now than it was back then… but once you are comfortable with an environment, it is a pretty tall order to switch around.
Well, I use it, I like it, and I can confidently say it’s not for everyone
You gotta think the gnome way. Like, for example, I don’t feel the absence of the minimize button because I adopted gnome’s workspace-based flow
It doesn’t get in my way, I don’t even feel its existence most of the time. Gnome 3 sucked and definitely got in my way but beware that I am talking about gnome 4x here.
Context: I’m an i3 and plasma user depenending on my machine with one exception.
I find Gnome to be in the way 100% of the time, until I put the mist and konquer down and start using the touchscreen.
Its a nice DE for touch oriented devices, but it really sucks to navigate with moist and keybread imho.
Edit: the one time I don’t fix my spelling someone comes along and says something. I’m gonna make it worse 😈
it’s particularly baffling since KDE plasma is at this point kiiiiiinda just the best desktop, including windows and mac.
By default it just works as 90% of people would expect it to, and if you want to you can customize it into something unrecognizable and it’ll outright help you to do so.
It’s so fucking good that i switched to it just because my mom has it on her laptop and it looked fucking sweet
What’s wrong with the MacOS UI? It works pretty well, and is pretty easy to pick up. Some of the biggest complaining I heard back in the day is that the close/min/max buttons were on the other side and someone who can’t handle that doesn’t have an opinion worth entertaining. Most of it was just a extreme refusal to learn out of spite which is more embarrassing for them than an argument.

I use it and like it. No strong opinion here, it just works well for me.

Ah, yes, the classic …
noise and keyboard
moist and keyboard
morse and keyboard
Re: edit
Yes! Embrace the typo. Elevate it to art!
moist and keybread

Gnome also has a few nice things that I miss whenever I try kde or cosmic. It really depends on what you need from your DE.
I do not like cosmic. They remove random features i use a ton.
Like accessing a file address in the address bar. Why. Why can it not show the file path.
Also keyboard shortcuts rarely work. If I extract and archive, I have to mouse it all. No alt+e for extract here, nope.
Also pop shop on popos is horribly optimized.
