Yeah, but what I mean is that even if it’s just a fluke, it’s still good that more of the “normie” desktop users are at least showing a bit of interest in it, even if they at the very end bounce back, the fact that they are showing signs of being tired of the dominant OS and willing to experiment is refreshing. I think that, for the sake of the Libre philosophy, FLOSS devs should try better to attract them more.

Oh hell naw

I feel very happy seeing Linux attracting people, even if they get back again to Windows or Mac.

I’m not making this a desktop war… Just mentioned it because everybody was saying something FALSE, because what you say about GNOME and KDE it’s not true. I’m not ignorant, I have years in Linux too, and the fact that you make that ad hominem attack says really much about you. I’ll cut it here because I don’t have time nor energy to follow up, just wanna say everyone here that GNOME isn’t that good.

Honestly, I personally feel sorry (with every intention to offend) that you and others like you settle for and defend tooth and nail a half-baked solution, glued together with saliva and that breaks every time a core GNOME developer decides on it like monkey-patching over a shitty API. Not to mention the fact that KDE also allows it, and I say this as a KDE user, for the deepest part of its extensibility and scriptability, but without breaking it just because it looked ugly, and also allows other types of extensions, such as compiled dynamic libraries, or Plasmoids and components.

Krusader.

KDE ehem…

I’m crying rn, caca means poop in spanish 😭😭😭

Woah, poop is a good name for an util

Ngl, for me both GNOME and GTK+ suck, their governance, design principles, development principles, and both user-facing and dev-facing cultures, are authoritarian and really toxic. Look at, for example, the Mutter controversy, or the controversy woth GTK4 and the subsequent creation of both MATE and Cinnamon, or the drama with Zrythm (which author I do personally support) and FalkTX, etc.
