GNOME doesn't break, extensions do.

[-] optissima@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

They're literally ignoring specs.... and also most of the features of gnome are the extensions, so I'd count that.

If most of the features you use are gnome extensions you shouldn't be using gnome. There are plenty of other desktops that would meet your needs better.

[-] optissima@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Most? I don't think that someone who installs Dash to Panel would say most of their features are extensions, just some essential ones. I feel like you could go as far as "If any essential features you use are gnome extensions you shouldn't be using gnome."

Okay, I agree with that. CSD/SSD is a great example

Its not as bad as some people make it

Ahaha is that why they're removing everything from the DE and forcing people to use extensions for things like desktop icons? So they can say "it's not us, it's the extensions"?

[-] fromaj_debite@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Why do you want to use desktop icons?

I personally don't, but it's a standard Mac/Windows users are very familiar with, and the ability to add them doesn't impact you if you don't want to.

In other words: it's a net-positive.

Also some people just like them

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.
