@Zeus finder is single pane.

ah fair enough, i misremembered. i don't think i've ever used a mac system for more than 10 minutes whilst giving friends tech support

I just don’t get how they think that’s better. 😕

i know, it's crap. i guess at least on mac most of the users aren't even capable of pressing f3 to open split view (not only because macs no longer have an f3); but i don't see why nautilus has gone down that route. it seems like such an oversight. especially as it used to exist and they removed it

fair enough; i didn't know you were talking about lag^[(although to be honest, i find gnome the worst for this)]

i'm fairly sure that xfce does this (or it might just have been the way mint sets it up), but i couldn't tell you for certain

oh i know, i'm very pro jxl. but i was more saying why i don't like webp even if it is open-licence

i imagine it's just that fewer options = easier to maintain. to my knowledge they were never keen on options: gtk was never officially themeable, their gtk theme is called "the only one", they hide all their options on dconf like the windows registry, etc.

generally treat their users like children. but to be fair, it worked for apple and it's sort of working for them, so what do i know?

hey so i've just seen this comment that reminded me of this thread, in case it's helpful

(sorry it's not an instance agnostic link, i'm not sure how to make those)

honestly i feel like that's their attitude toward everything? maybe i missed the glory days of gnome, but now i see it as only useful if you're A) a gnome developer, or B) have exactly the same workflow as a gnome developer. otherwise it's useless unless you want a bunch of extensions that break every update

[-] Zeus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

same. to be honest, that's mostly why i'm on Debian - from what i could tell it had the largest repositories. i did try arch on my laptop and one markdown editor took over half an hour to compile so i just gave up

d'you want to pm them? i have a matrix at @zeusofthecrows:matrix.org and a telegram but not much else (and a discord that i generally avoid opening)

i don't want to end up as some tyrannical ruler of the imaginary network though

[-] Zeus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

yeah fair enough, that's all you really need

[-] Zeus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

oh hi tywele

[-] Zeus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago
