If it works for you, that's great anon! You don't have to be ashamed of liking men.

>>92959825 (OP)

have you seen freebsd threads? they are fucking getting raped by all these nig/g/ers

its funny how they embrace minimalism and hate on susyemd yet say freebsd and gnome are bad

>>92959825 (OP)

its horribly unoptimized trash, constantly breaking plugins, shitty tablet interface and the developers are ass cancer, it couldn't be any worse if it tried honestly

Becomes time you update and see for yourself.

OP, I wanted to like it.

However ever since GNOME 40 it's been a royal mess. gtk4 was a mistake. I had this idea in my mind that the reason why they weren't really pushing for features was to get rid of bloat and difficulty to develop this shit, but to also properly polish it. Instead what I have is a buggy DE and a bunch of insecure developers. If it does what you want it's great, but it already takes enough to make the desktop barely usable as is without extensions for me, that I also have to adapt to some of their stupid changes (like switching to gtk4 nautilus before they make it as functional as gtk3 nautilus) and if I'm going to deal with this nonsense, along with buggy scrolling and some other odd behavior, might as well use Plasma.

It's not the DE itself, it's the people that are behind it, you can safely call them the most toxic subhumans to ever faced anything linux related.

Hey fren, sorry about your disappointment with change. I entered Linux via Ubuntu 20.10 Gnome DE and have zero knowledge of the previous versions. I LIKE GNOME in it's current form and it works well enough that I left Windows entirely (2 years!). I'm not talking about "I now have a new hobby called gnome configuring". There was configuring and learning some new stuff but those days are long past and my computer is a tool I use for work and hobbies. 

My point is to ask that you stop poisoning linux with with your disappointment with change. "it WAS good but now it's HORRIBLE since version 30.xx in 2008..."

Unless of course you don't want more users. That is possible. It's not my intention to silence you AND it sure as fuck reads like that was my intention.

Please be aware that your opinion about gnome could be construed by the linux-curious to mean linux as a whole was good but has sucked and will suck for eternity. Gnu/Linux and Gnome and all the DEs and WMs are doing great things for FREEdom.

Gnome feels like Linux people worshiping the Apple design way of taking away user control and sacrificing convenience, for what they think is "best".

GNOME has been around since 1997 though. Crapple copied GNOME, not the other way around

Anything you might want to do is slower and unintuitive with gnome shell. The official explanations for this are that good workflows are hard to code, and that it's for some reason desirable to pander to hipsters and imaginary users whose mental illness causes them to be overwhelmed by traditional interfaces.

Because it actually works.

>>92959825 (OP)

because linux fags hate mac fags and gnome reminds them of mac fags
