Gnome's demented ideas make it into apps I run in KDE. I don't need buttons, drop-down menus, and text input fields in my title bar lol. I'm lookin at you, LACT.
Look, I appreciate you want a Windows imitation, but not everybody does, ok
Gnome is copying windows by putting buttons on the title bar lol
Lol, no.
Just keep using your "but we have windows at home" imitation.
Look at the top left:
You don't know what my KDE looks and acts like. I know exactly what your Gnome looks like because it's not as customizable, they're all extremely similar.
Looks like KDE. I don't see any Gnome similarities.
You just stick to the Windows clone.
Gnome has amazing ideas, that's why they're so successful. If you don't like the software that's being provided to you for free, don't use it.
And yes, we get it, you use KDE btw. How about you just accept that different people want different things and that FOSS developers are free to make what they want, and you're free to not use it.
Well let's not forget the corporate sponsorship from the biggest player in Linux, preferable release cycle, and preferable license back in the day.
That's part of Gnome being a well-run DE, yes.
Eh, I admit my comment is kind of tongue in cheek and it isn't my favorite DE but I used it for a while (esp 2.0). I think it's kind of a stretch to call it shitting on though. Their design philosophy is literally simplicity and consistency. Which sometimes comes at the behest of customization. That's not shitting it just is what it is.
The fact you're getting downvoted for this is insane lol
Some people structure their entire personality around hating a random successful Linux DE. It's fucking weird.
This submission is about Microsoft being bad, but apparently it's Gnome's fault lol. The Linux community is so ridiculously toxic lmao
