    because they make bold , divisive design choices. Also, this title is worded in a conflictive way, so people come in here to gripe about the parts of gnome they dislike.

    I’ve said it before in this thread, I hate what they are doing, but I’m glad they’re doing their own thing.

      Yep, GNOME isn’t for me and that’s okay. I probably should give it another try some point soon. I think last I tried was 2022. And every significant update several addons would break for days and weeks. Maybe it’s gotten better in the last 4 to 5 years. But when it comes to customization I don’t need any KDE addons. It just works outside the app menu bar MacOS like setting.

      I had a good laugh the other day though about the questionable 14 year old decision that the gnome team made that has left their users confused and unable to log out in many cases.

        well, it might have gotten more stable, but when I tried it on Nyarch, it has only gotten more gnomish in the intervening time.

        Admittedly, Nyarch probably didn’t help it look more “serious” but I think the general design principles of gnome were similar to when I installed it accidentally on debian 13.
