From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I genuinely tried Gnome and started to like it but a very minor update broke all of my QoL extensions and only 1/8th of them were updated. It's lacking so many features that it's just a bad DE all around : snapping windows in quarters anyone ? Why isn't it already an option ? GNOME devs need to touch grass and listen to the actual users.
I totally agree. However, interacting with any gnome devs is like pulling teeth. They keep making bad decisions to be 'different' and make their jobs easier, then when those decisions turn out to be bad they have to walk them back but never admit fault.
Being able to move the dock is fine example of this.
It's like they want Apple's lack of customization but can't provide a competitive default (because they suck at their jobs.)
You know these are volunteers that work for free, right?
Lol, how does this change the fact their work stinks? Maybe if they didn't suck at designing the hate would stop? Nah, guilt trip the users instead, that'll fix it. Free crap is still crap, and pointing it out isn't a sin. If the devs can't deal with that, maybe they should go home and cry about it instead of further shitting up the code.
Devs don't owe users anything? Guess what, users don't owe devs shit either. If they don't like criticism, tough tittys, cause shit code will be criticized, which is why Gnome is still considered a joke.
