You may not like it, but System76 was right on dumping GNOME.

They should've just riced kde lol

They're never gonna make a DE from scratch

can't wait to try out the cosmic alpha

tired of relying on extensions for basic features

tired of having to patch mutter every time it updates so my system doesn't stutter every time i press a custom mouse button



if cosmic ends up sucking somehow, I'll just switch to KDE probably. Gnome shell has some good stuff going for it but the devs have their heads so far up their asses they can taste their feces and i think they love it.

>Leaving gnome

color me shocked I tell you!

How can a user hostile DE keep losing support and love!!!?

Will they solve multi monitors while gaming because VRR shits itself when playing games with multiple monitors on x11 and wayland is completely fucked due to forced vsync

why would you play games on Linux though? Windows is just better for that. the drivers are gauranteed to work. the games are guaranteed to work. lol why put yourself through hell with Linux?



Linux is great but not for games.

the compositor they're making is made for wayland from the ground up, so hopefully they can avoid some of the biggest pitfalls

Most of the games I play run better on Linux

Sucks if your a zoomer shooter fan I guess

It's going to be real hard to compete with GNOME. Once they release the thing, I'll use and contribute to it. Plus it'll be a good practice for me to use Rust.

Spare me anon all of my shit runs without a issue the only thing I have to do is shut extra monitors off if I'm gaming

All the games I play work OTB on release and any minor gain from windows doesn't bother me when I have to deal with all the other issues.

I'm not a fucking zoom zoom that plays battle royal shit

There no competing with gnome most user naturally move on once they realize how poor it preforms next to the alternatives.

The shit is only shilled as the first option for what it USED to be and everyone is slowly moving away because time and time again they ignore user feedback and make it worse and are hostile to any criticism.

Gnome has drove people away from linux than any other DE which is why steam went with KDE

It's genuinely really impressive how much better it's gotten since half a decade ago.

To the point where major companies are actively helping their games run better on Linux.

It can obviously be improved, and cocksuckers like tim sweeny will probably refuse to let their anticheats work forever but the situation is still improving slowly.



It is very much a YMMV situation but the overall mileage has improved a fuckton

What DE and card? I have dual monitors on X11, on KDE I had to do add a kwin script with some entries + forced compositional pipeline and force composer off in game, flipping off and vblank off for nvidia x. No tearing and noticable lag.

Problem is Pop OS is apparently going to be stuck on GNOME 42 until COSMIC comes out (whenever that will be), so until then, it seems that Pop OS users won't have any thumbnails in their file picker (as seen in GNOME 44) for a while.
