>their thing is a waste of time This is incorrect. GNOME users would not consider it a waste of time, just like KDE users would not consider it a waste of time for someone to do work on KDE, or Mac users would not consider it a waste of

Yes, I would agree that a lot of GNOME developers still view that as a design goal. But not all do, and even so, having less configurability doesn't mean less features. If you ask me, practically speaking, what it has meant is that the

I completely disagree, I'm using GNOME on a laptop from 2008 now. It's working fine for me. I did tweak it a little bit however.

Thank you for doing that, it's really fortunate that you are, but please understand that not all of your coworkers do the same thing. I think it would be nice if they did, but currently they do not.

I don't understand what you're trying to discourage, what you're saying doesn't follow. That has nothing to do with "the GNOME way" and is mostly related to the decisions made by Canonical, who decided to make

I don't understand what the issue here is or what you want me to learn, those seem to all be bugs that were already fixed. If there are additional unfixed problems that others aren't aware of, and you're not making it up, the

The javascript is used mostly to drive the shell GUI, it shouldn't be taking seconds off all your mouse clicks. If there is really bad slowness, you should consider reporting that as a bug, it may not be the javascript that's at f

Again I'm not sure where you got that, I have not heard any Red Hat or Fedora developers say that's the focus. In fact if you follow GNOME development, there are various other directions that people are pulling in. It might be the

I figured you would post that. I have heard no actual KDE developers saying that's a problem. They don't use Qt LTS. The "drama" there seems to be mostly confined to unrelated internet forums. As for your posts about C,

Others may find that pushing towards server-side window decoration is annoying and imposing, so this is unfortunately an area where not everyone can be happy. In any case you may be interested to try a patch: https://github.com&#

That's just my personal observation, I haven't seen many unfocused airings of grievances that ended in positive change. Sure there are knowledgeable people here, but they may not always be speaking within their area of expertise;

If you have something you want me to understand, please explain. I'm happy to listen to what you have to say. Like everyone else, I'm not perfect, sometimes I don't understand things and I need some help from people like you.

I honestly haven't seen any real license drama about that for like 10 years now. Qt and GTK are (mostly) the same license. Also I really wouldn't say that C and C++ are equivalent to political parties, that's like saying the

Sure, but that shouldn't really matter to an ordinary Fedora user, at least not to the ones I've heard from.

No, not at all. If you do ever use this and you develop an opinion on it, feel free to share.

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying or what the point of your bashing is. GNOME and KDE and XFCE and whatnot are not political parties and are not opposed to each other. They're not really even close to bein

I mean in cases where someone just copy and pastes something without making any effort to match the style, or in cases where they can't explain what a piece of code does or how they came up with it. You should be able to spot those ver

Could you please explain specifically what one or more of these effects is? I may be able to offer suggestions on how to mitigate it. When I was talking about using something else I was specifically referring to the article, which is talkin

For me personally I find the endless "Linux desktop wars" to be disappointing. It doesn't matter, this stuff is open source, if you really want it to be fixed then just go write a patch. But in my experience most people will

Can you elaborate? Is there something particular that you need that doesn't work on an RPi? If it turns out to be a small fix, then ultimately you may end up caring a lot less than you think.

I'm not accusing anyone of that and I'm not misquoting, please stop with this hostility. In my experience, people are happy to switch when it suits them. By "no features" I was referring to those basic features. Sorry f

I can't say for sure what the deal is with GTK3, but GTK4 apps are GPU accelerated and should be faster. Though it may come at a cost of using more GPU memory, depending on the app.

I find it pretty disappointing that these type of articles and the resulting comments like yours often can't seem to praise something like IceWM or AwesomeWM without also bashing GNOME or XFCE or something else because of "bloat.&

If you actually want a paid service, there are plagiarism detectors like Fossa and Codequiry. Although in my opinion, code review should be enough to catch any "accidental" incidents of plagiarism, the differences in writing style

I don't understand why anyone has an issue with that. You know what else can copy and paste code all the time? Humans. But we have various ways of stopping employees who copy and paste code from stackoverflow and github without checkin

That blog is just one developer's opinion, not an official statement. Although I will say I share the opinion, Glade messes up my ui files and I can't recommend using it if you want to use any newer widgets. It has always had thos

I've posted about this before, but if you want GTK and you believe API stability is the most important thing then you should just use GTK3. The API there is frozen. I'm not sure what "reputation" you're referring to
