Why do so many people here hate GNOME? I got into an argument with a KDE user and they complained that GNOME didn't have thumbnails in the file picker... But I have thumbnails in my file picker on Ubuntu lol. Do they complain and point out old issues that no longer exist?
>>108260935GNOME is very opinionated, does thing differently from everyone else for no good reason, and its developers have an arrogant "my way or the highway" attitude that rubs people the wrong way.There are plenty of basic features (system tray, desktop icons) that need Tweaks or extensions, and extensions have a tendency to break every version, making them impractical on non-LTS distributions.https://woltman.com/gnome-bad/ has a bunch of examples of bad design in GNOME.
>>108260935werks on my machine lmao
>>108260998Yeah on mine too, that's why I am wondering what the hate is about
>>108260994Oh and they have a history of trying to force everyone else to adopt their design decisions. Client-side decorations, and the idea that shell elements should be drawn by the compositor instead of a client for instance
>>108260935Doesn't follow specifications well, is missing a lot of features you would expect as standard on any desktop, makes a lot of stupid assumptions about how you'll be using it.
>>108260935It's designed for touchscreens not desktop computers.
I was told GNOME 50 fixes VRR.I tried GNOME 50 beta.It does not fix VRR.
>>108260935I just don't like it's layout. Plus some of it's shit bleeds over into other distros, and it slightly bothers me seeing gnome stuff in my processes despite not using it. Triggers my autism.
>>108260935Ubuntu is not stock GNOME. They're almost two completely different things. Ubuntu's GNOME dare I say is closer in functionality to KDE than stock GNOME. Anyway, Ubuntu and GNOME had this bug where the thumbnails wouldn't load in the browser file picker unless you'd loaded them in your file manager first. Maybe they finally fixed it.
They still have goatse up on their website btw

>>108260935I don't like it. Feels like a toy. Also the footfag shit is weird.
I never liked the macfaggotry but was willing to admit gnome 2 was perfectly fine. Gnome 3 was such an atrocity on release I got out and never looked back.
>>108260935Gnome is a fine choice, the only thing i wish it had was the option to enable tiles for background.
I don't hate GNOME, I just cannot have it working the way I want so I have no reason to use it. I choose what best adapts to what I do instead of having to adapt myself to it. If I left Windows, it was precisely because I had to adapt to its bullshit, not the other way around. When it comes to software I want the path of least resistance and GNOME has a lot of that going on. Specially when you deal with the human element behind the project.
>>108260994Plus they killed screensavers. Unforgivable.
Use case for GNOME?
>>108260935>Why do so many people here hate GNOME?just the KTards hate it, everyone else doesn't even give a fuck.
GNOME devs are extermely opinionated and use their power to force their strong opinions on the wider linux ecosystem whenever they can.Other than that, I don't mind it. I don't like it, but it's fine that they do their own thing.
>>108263604>and use their power to force their strong opinions on the wider linux ecosystemtake your meds schizo
>>108260935I don't like its UI and workflow.
>>108260935I like the work flow, I like the interface for the most part. My issue with Gnome is its strength. I want desktop Icons for example. Not possible. I get why its like that, but I like to make retro arch shortcuts for games that I am currently playing so I can jump right in. I like having files that I work on allot on the desktop. I like how simple it all is, but would it be much to just have a way to turn on desktop icons? I avoid using extensions and only have 2 installed.
>>108261245>>108261255These logos look like someone spreading 'em for anal.
Gnome has people like ebussy, therefore it's bad.But KDE has jeets in its team, therefore it's also bad.
>>108260935this is the last good GNOME version before the GNOME team went full retarded. Remember when they said you don't need a minimize button and it confused users in their "usability testing"? Yeah they think if you use GNOME 3+ you are stupid
>>108260935Gnome is a macos ripoff without the polishKDE is a winblows ripoff without adsIn light of that you should buy a macbook if you want an opinionated, gnome esque experience, or use kde if you want a windows esque experience
