    Nice. I always go back to Gnome for abit on a new release, it’s fun to see what has changed. But I’m usually using Plasma now.

      yeah, the new Plasma is hard to beat. I want to like Gnome… I just see no compelling features, really.

    I like Gnome when I come to use it without internalizing it. Say, a LiveUSB with Fedora with Gnome I used to recover accidentally deleted files from my root partition.

    Otherwise I hate it, it’s close aesthetically to my own set of themes and configs, but always a bit short of “good enough to replace it”.

    And any customization is PITA, because Gnome people senselessly mimic MacOS where it sucks. Since they do that senselessly, they sometimes occasionally mimic it where it doesn’t, yeah. Occasionally.

    • VRR is finally in but experimental, and will need to refactor the explicit sync codebase when that’s merged in…so we’re 4 years away from usable?
    • Fractional scaling still experimental, after 4 years, so terrible experience for people with 4K displays
    • Still no UI menu to alphabetize apps automatically
    • Still no proper kstatusnotifier solution, so people will still install that extension
    • Still no auto-hide for Dash, back to using dash-to-dock
    • Breakage for extensions AGAIN

    Garbage project by garbage devs, backed by a garbage corporate sponsor (IBM). Expect a garbage experience, thanks for nothing Guh-nome. Thank goodness for KDE and the Plasma project, which has UI solutions for all of the above and much MUCH more to make a cohesive well functioning DE with sane UX.

      There’s no need to post a hateful comment like that. If you don’t like it, fine, then don’t use it. It’s OK to say why you don’t like it, but don’t call it garbage.
