>hides your root directory
you don't need to see that
>>108838070Use case for root directory?
>>108838070What's the usecase of entering the root directory?
>>108838070Can't(english pronounciation) these fuckers just hide gnome instead ?
>>108838070Only power users need to view the root directory
>>108838070Only mentally impaired plebs use gnome software.
>>108838259Such as Torvalds?
>>108838299Torvalds doesn't care about his desktop nor does he care about his workspace.He's autistic.
>>108838100That's like saying you don't need access to C:\Windows\ or C:\Program Files\
>>108838371those are important and dangerous filesremember to always keep your computer updated and install mcafee antivirus
Gnome treats its critics, contributors and end-users like retards that don't know any better. Don't act surprised when their UI philosophy matches this attitude.
>>108838070What do you mean? Of course you can see it.
>>108838259lol
>>108838322>Torvalds doesn't care about his desktop nor does he care about his workspace.As all productive people do.
>>108838601root directory perusers totally owned and that gnome dude is laughing *hard*
>>108838070>directoryUsecase?
>>108838322>nor does he care about his workspace.You can only achieve that state when you're given a sane and intuitive tool. Mac, Windows and I suppose KDE can do this. With GNOME, you spend time figuring out how to escape their straight jacket.
>>108838487Only retards would use GNOME, so it makes sense.
>>108838635The thing is, GNOME, while shit, somehow still manages to be better than the alternatives. It's really sad.
>>108838652The advantage GNOME has over KDE is that it doesn't Krash as much, and looks a bit nicer out of the box. Windows mogs both of them.GNOME requires lots of extensions to become usable, and has silly animations that get very repetitive if you're navigating by keyboard. Seriously, who thought it'd be a good idea to shrink and tile your windows everytime you want to search, maybe you'd like to search for something mentioned in a document you're reading? Too bad, it's pulled away and then your eye has to refocus as it moves. There's no usecase for this at all, the GNOME guys just saw MacOS Expose and wanted it too.
>>108838698Explain which extensions you "need".
>>108838698>Seriously, who thought it'd be a good idea to shrink and tile your windows everytime you want to search, maybe you'd like to search for something mentioned in a document you're reading?Is Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V now a poweruser thing? What's next? GNOME bad because it doesn't read your mind?
>>108838070Open nautilus, press / then enterYou're welcome
>>108838713Dash to panel, but I don’t love it. >>108838748It’s about not disturbing the document I have open just because I want to run a search. They’re obsessed with copying MacOS, I’m surprised they didn’t copy spotlight.
>>108838831/thread, a thread died for this
>>108838608this annoyed me for years and not a single person gave a shit but thankfully it has been fixed now
>>108838322He cares deeply about his workspace, that's why he wants it as quiet and clean as it can get so he can just focus on his work. He goes out of his way to buy specific hardware so that it makes as little noise as possible. GNOME is an extension of that.
The GNOME icons look so childish, and the animations are cringe.
>Acknowledges your use case unlike GNOME>Runs on a polished foundation unlike PlasmaCome home.
>>108838070you can get to it inside nutilus' urlbar thing but you can't open it because i guess nautilus isn't running as root
As a runit, xbsp, x11, KDE user... I don't know what that foot thing is supposed to be.
Usecase is rm -rf
>>108838070>using GUI for root operationsngmibtw, you can just type "/" and you will land in the root dir. Just bookmark it, faggot.
Non-issue>press "/" and press enter>press ctrl+l, type "/" or "../..", and press enter>press alt+up twice from the home folder>add it as a bookmark and access it from the sidebar>>108839988>because i guess nautilus isn't running as rootYou can use the super user account by typing "admin://" in the address bar. But the root directory's read permissions should never be restricted anyways.
>>108840116Thanks for alt + up / down. This is great.
>>108840012Based Void enjoyer.
>>108839972probably this
>>108839972Been using Cinnamon since 2021. GNOME became too insufferable at the time.
>>108838100accessing drives i mounted at /mnt
>>108839972I always come back to cinnamon, it’s not the most flexible DE but it’s the most functional and intuitive. You can tell it’s meant to be used with Mint when using it though.
>>108840736Cinnamon is for homosexuals, women, and various types of undesirable browns. Just KDE like a normal white man.
>>108840822The perfect White man’s DE is an eternal quest.
>>108839972I can't wait for the Mint devs to get Wayland working on this
Gnome becomes perfect for me with two extensions:>Dash to panel (intellihide on overlap, bottom, full width ungrouped)Basically gives you the windows taskbar, especially nice to bring the clock down to the bottom right.>ArcMenu (fixes the horrible MacOS Expose effect overview launcher that GNOME uses)Now I don't need KDE.
>>108838698>and looks a bit nicer out of the boxhard disagree, breeze mogs adwaitaI don't use either btw
>>108839972>gtk based DEno thanks, I'll stick with lxqt
>>108841785You can't explain, in your own words, why you think GTK is worse than Qt.
>>108839972It's literally based on GNOME.
>>108839008>They’re obsessed with copying MacOSName 10 things GNOME does that are a copy of MacOS.
>>108838831>>108839248wtf is a nautilus?
>>108841939Submarine.
>>108838070>>108838099>>108838243does gnmoe not ship with a terminal emulator nowadays or what
>>108839972>Acknowledges your use caseyes sister! we're all heckin cute and valid
>>108838259I think you might be write. I’ve tried to force myself into liking GNOME, but I cannot. KDE is the best environment (in the freetard world).
*write -> right
>>108841815Not that anon, but Qt is better at replicating Windows. For a distro that supposedly draws in a lot refugees, that's a big deal.
>>108839972>doesn't work on wayland
>>108842504See latest blog post
I hate Gnome so much.

>>108841815>breaks custom themes with every minor version bump ON PURPOSEgtk sucks balls and adwaita especially looks like vomitmeanwhile on qt: your custom theme only breaks with major version bumps, and even in those cases it gets fixed pretty quicklythere's a reason why kvantum has no gtk equivalent
>>108845061Just stop using updooter distributions.From a developer perspective, I can assure you that GTK is FAR easier to use than Qt. It's also way easier to write bindings for it in other languages since it's just a C library.Meanwhile Qt needs its own additional compiler (the MOC) and using it from anything outside of Sepples and maybe Python is a pain.
>>108845135>From a developer perspectiveand why should I care about that as an end user? I want my system to look good and be usable, and gtk fails miserably at both.
>>108838070give it back >:(!!!
>>108845135>Just stop using updooter distributions.Even if you're deliberately one version behind, that's only six months to catch up. What if theme designers don't use updooter distributions either? What if you're designing your own theme and don't want the burden of maintaining it twice a year?Heck, even subminor versions have a history of making changes. They added a new CSS class in 3.24.x at some point, after the last minor version had already released.I really want to like GTK, but upstream sure loves to treat it like the Ganges river sometimes.
Gnome died when it moved to Gnome 3.
>>108846642>Gnome died when it moved to Gnome 3.One of the protest forks wants to fork GTK2 so soon we might have gnome 2 back.
>>108846656A bit late, isn't it? GTK2 was retired years ago.
