    I like GNOME. It’s very consistent, has very few bugs, and stays out of my way when I just need to get shit done.

      I got most of my Linux desktop time used KDE but just after switching to Wayland hated it. After every update that fixed some kind of show stopping bug they introduced another one. I then switched to gnome and have been happy ever since, even if I don’t like this whole macOS UX stuff, but it simply works and doesn’t break once you touch it.

      My pull request got reviewed after two months and landed after an additional two months. So the bottleneck is probably not the amount of external contributors.

      You can contribute to cosmic or literally any other DE instead of wasting resources on the sinking ship that is gnome

        You’re the one bringing our attention to gnome. If you don’t like it, why are you talking about it? Can’t you find other uses of your time?

          Unfortunately you cannot just ignore gnome even if you don’t use it. They control the development of gtk and force their retarded ideologies on it which affects any app written in gtk. You cannot escape the cancer that is gnome unless every app you use is written with qt, which is impossible.

            Your a very negative person.

            You can always work with other like-minded people, fork the project and take into a direction you want. You could work with people to make other frameworks more popular.

            Yelling on the internet, that volunteers aren’t doing what you like, and then disparaging them with hurtful names, is not a good look for you.

              Having a conversation with gnome devs is a lost cause. Look at this image. He doesn’t address the code of the pull request, he closes it because of his fragile ego. Fucking hilarious.

                You have mental issues. Stop focusing on a volunteer.

                If you want to change something fork it and change it. Demonstrate the goodness of your ideas, and get people to join you on the fork.

                Or spend your efforts on other projects.

                Focusing on a volunteer, and pulling them down because you don’t like their decisions, is a terrible thing to do and speaks to your character

            Most of the “major” distros are probably made by red hat

            “Most” being RHEL and Fedora??? Where the hell are you getting this from? Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Suse, etc have nothing to do with Red Hat. Fedora isn’t even controlled by Red Hat, they own the distro but it’s community developed. The Fedora project has moved in directions counter to what Red Hat wants in the past.

            Microsoft has successfully sabotaged the linux desktop by making gnome the default de.

            my dude did you read the article that you linked?

    My favorite example of gnome attitude:

    Gnome 3 carries forward virtual desktops, but now they can only be arranged vertically, and some folks complain they don’t like it that way.

    Eventually gnome changes their mind and now virtual desktops are only allowed to be arranged horizontally…

    Even fvwm had custom geometry for virtual desktops, doesnt seem like it should be that hard. The fact that they changed their minds you would have thought to be a clue that it should be configurable, but no…

    Every time I try gnome I walk away with a feeling that I might as well use Windows. In fact, Windows has more powerful window management than gnome at this point.

    So it’s always back to Plasma.

      Virtual desktops are arranged on a one dimensional axis. Whether it’s vertical, horizontal or fucking diagonal doesn’t really change how they work. It’s just fluff and animations, really.

    And exactly how many times is this going to be reposted? What are you trying to achieve with this?

    Don’t care about this whole drama that someone is trying to start. At the end of the day Gnome is just the most comfortable DE for me personally. Plain, simple, beautiful, no cascading dropdowns, no distractions. Customizable just enough. The next option would be XFCE, mainly for a great balance between performance and niceness
