Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?
People shitting on Gnome sound like kids bitching that the free pizza shop doesn’t offer your favorite hamburger.
Also, all this sudden Gnome hate all over Lemmy is trendy as fuck, being trendy used to mean you were a loser with no original style, I guess the capitalists turned it into “viral” and made it cool.
Lol, typical Lemmy to blame everything on capitalism.
Gnome is just incredibly annoying to use. It’s not a trendy thing to say, it’s just my opinion.
I really enjoy gnome, I much prefer it.
That’s fair enough. I don’t understand why personally but you do you.
I find some software annoying too but I’m not 12 so I don’t feel the need to shit on people volunteering their time to make software for people.
I see you’re upset people don’t like gnome.
I don’t care what people like, I don’t like people shitting on open source projects and dividing the community.
Right.
You don’t like that people don’t like gnome. You care about what they like.
I, personally, think when we love something we want it to be the best it can be. Gnome devs seem to just be red hat employees who don’t actually care about making a good DE, just doing the easiest work while [WONTFIX]ing anything that takes actual effort.
You don’t even talk with gnome devs. You talk with red hat. They’re employees first for a company owned by IBM.
But Gnome is a great DE, I’ve used it as a daily driver for personal and at work for many years. I can’t say I have any major complaints. What’s so terrible about Gnome?
Do you use gnome tweak tools?
Because if I do, then that proves Gnome is terrible and all the devs should drive off a cliff?
If we divided Gnome right out of the open source community, we wouldn’t have lost much.
Yes, just that Valve would have ignored Linux existed. Nothing much. Companies would not make software for Linux. Not much really. Coherent ecosystem and work flow does not matter, but ricing every single button matters to the no life NEET kids.
A coherent ecosystem…of blank windows with not enough functionality crammed into a hamburger menu made the way it is mostly for aesthetics. A workflow that doesn’t make sense to most people who are trained on PCs. A dev team who hate their users.
No thanks.
If you want this use KDE. I for one am very happy to use a desktop that doesn’t follow 30 year old design.
Do you type on a QWERTY keyboard?
This is an entirely irrelevant argument. Do you use a dial up modem? We can replace things sometimes.
If we lost the open source community will have gained.
Splitting the community? Who cares, it doesn’t matter anyways.
I care, and so do many others, it happens to some with empathy when they grow out of their preteen years.
Shitting on Gnome if you use a tiled desktop manager is fair game.
Shitting on Gnome if you use KDE is just dumb
I used to use Gnome with a tiled window manager. It was a good combo. Don’t see why they have to be exclusive. No hate from my side, KDE and Gnome are both incredible. I can spare some hate for the Gnome-haters though.
Love the love, hate the hate. It’s a good default.
