    • 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.

      They don’t do it “senselessly”- the design clearly works for me and millions of other Gnome users.

      It’s fine if you don’t like it but there’s no need to bash clear design choices.

      I don’t particularly care for KDE design choices but a lot of people like it so what’s it to me? I’m happy for them.

        Millions? LOL Maybe thousands, and if it is millions, it’s far more likely that it’s on a distro that puts forth a huge library of extensions to get around Gnome’s senseless design choices so they can maintain gtk operability…which has been waning lately.

      Difference between macos and gnome is that apple has invested lot of money and extremely talented people, whereas gnome has much less people. I don’t mind not having customisation when everything is good enough, but not the case in gnome at all.

      Like the thing in finder where you type letter and instead of showing file starting with the letter it starts a recursive search. Or the giant top bar that has a barbone menu and serves almost no purpose. Apple put the app menu in there, makes sense.
