Oh noes! Design spec?!? :( STANDARDS AND ETHICS?!?! No! I Want you to install my halfass, broken solution instead of waiting for a proper solution to come along! I'm such a special boy and know coding better than you! HOW DARE YOU HAVE PLANS!! /s
Like some of you are buffoons and need to go use something like Plasma instead. I love Plasma, not pushing that down, it's just that if you don't know the modus operandi of GNOME in 2024 already, you might as well give up trying.
At the very least give up complaining. You wouldn't have Wayland if it weren't for WONTFIX, ya daft cunts.
Bit rich to say that considering the reason most very useful and well written Wayland protocol proposals that would get it up to par with X11 are rejected is because Gnome vetoes it since it doesn't match their vision for the Gnome desktop
"most very useful".
List. Tell me which ones.
FYI, GNOME recently broke Adwaita on non-GNOME apps because they started using nonstandard icon names without providing a fallback. Any way you look at it, it's GNOME shovelling the shit.
Huh, I guess you're getting to them then with your massive winging. Guess you'll get your Rube Goldberg desktop you want and still complain.
16 years later, and it still barely works. Plasma made it a first-class citizen in the last release and I still had to switch back to X11 because a million WONTFIXes later there's so many hacked together solutions just to get it to barely work its insane. How do you mess up copy and paste??
"16 years of paving the way for Plasma".
There, fixed that for you.
Wayland works fine, the kde's implementation of wayland is just not mature yet which is to be expected given how recently they decided to hop on the bandwagon
your comment doesn't include client-side decorations and doesn't link to a decorations provider, you'll have to fix that next time
Yeah it’s not for me but its goal is to be the polished and distinctive option. Plasma is the “sure you can try” choice. And I love having enough rope to hang myself, but some people don’t
LOL, we still don't have Wayland because the daft cunts at Gnome still haven't heard of 4k displays and setting scaling factors for Xwayland.....you know.....problems Plasma never had in the first place.
All Gnome does is propose half baked measures they don't take any action on because the fully formed cohesive solution doesn't spontaneously magic itself into existence, then gaslight the users. Fuck Gnome.
I can't tell if you are praising KDE or gnome. They both have different goals.
Both are great projects really, and big projects at that - big stacks, lots of moving parts.
Whereas GNOME tries to be more uniform, Plasma tries to be more bespoke.
I don't care which one you use, really. I just love GNOME design principles and it's desktop paradigm.
Is GNOME a perfect project? No. But when these troglodytes crawl out of their discord servers, I just can't help but be infuriated by their pure malice and ignorance.
So fuck em. I'm done with this thread.
You have a nice day now, y'hear?
