I will say, though I don't agree with a lot of the GNOME decisions for their desktop environment, their apps (especially the ones using libadwaita) always look very clean - that new System Monitor is gorgeous!

I love how polished everything is in Gnome. I try another DE because of some cool thing, but I keep coming back to Gnome.

There are a couple of minor things that irk me, but man, how good Gnome looks, the consistency, stability, and attention to detail from the devs make it superb to me.

The accessibility options are also great for a Linux distro.

And, and I know people hate this about Gnome, but I love that it's not just a Windows UX/workflow clone with a start button in the bottom left that opens a small start menu, Taskbar along the bottom with time and system stuff shoved in the corner, minimise/maximise/close buttons on the top right of every app, etc.

They're ballsy enough to do usability studies and go with what makes sense, not just what we're most used to, even though it's opened the devs up to hate and threats.

I wish GNOME was better than KDE for gaming. GNOME is so freaking sexy, I miss it so much.

Edit: apparently I need to clarify, KWIN (KDE's compositor, has way better support for Wayland than Mutter (GNOME's compositor).

Not too sure what your desktop environment has to do with gaming.

On Wayland? It matters a lot, since the compositor has to support each individual protocol feature.

I didn’t mention Wayland cause he mentioned using Plasma, which still defaults to X11 as of v5, and both DEs in question support X1, so the Gnome/KDE dichotomy didn’t make much sense to me in that context.

More like form and whitespace... God knows how I try to like modern gnome, but it's not easy.

What are they trying to fuck up down on their quest for the "perfect vision"?

Im not a big fan of gnome, but this system monitor update is pretty legit

And Boxes looked like a cheap copy of Virtualbox. But now it's my daily driver because how good it is

Boxes is so... damn... unbearably... slow. Subpar virtualization.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
