What I meant by a “middleground” is that GOS has gapps, even though they are sandboxed. There is no way it can be more degoogled than LOS or any other fully vanilla ROM that’s actually degoogled.
After the last experience, very proudly homophobic.

Do you mean that any copying is bad or any copying is ok as long as it helps achieve the goals?
Yea I thought about that too. But apparently some people find “AI” useful.
GNOME Software but it only has Flatpaks which my machine can’t quite run smoothly. It’s weird that I use the GNOME ecosystem without Flatpaks though. Anyways I just use the AUR on my system that’s based on Arch btw.
Say that to capitalists.
May be but some of this user’s post history is a bit questionable.
Judging from your post and replies, you look very aggressive, rude and demanding so no wonder the devs deleted your comments.
This is turning into a meaningless argument now. I don’t want to continue.
Citation very much needed
Ubuntu, RHEL and Fedora use it as the default and they are very big distros. Idk if it’s enough but that’s what I know.
Hardly, but I’m guessing you’re thinking of reliability instead.
Idk. KDE was unstable for me and it always has bugs after major releases. They should test things better.
Not really surprising when it’s so stripped down that vanilla GNOME is pretty much unusable.
Personal opinion.
That fact makes it especially funny that vanilla GNOME is by far the fattest DE around.
Deepin.
How it manages to use up more resources than KDE is beyond me.
You have a point here. Qt is better in terms of efficiency afaik and performance is extremely important for an OS component. But hey at least it’s getting better over time.
I don’t hate it, it looks better than what was there before, no doubts there, but at the same time they could’ve just made it better.
How? Improving something like this is hard. Do you have any proposals?
All the literature on action buttons with dangerous effects tells you to add margins, accents and shades. Any design undergraduate should be aware of this, however the GNOME team totally missed it.
I’m afraid to tell you that in 2024 nobody cares about that. “Shape following feeling” in MD is the best example I can think of. Now aesthetics is preferred to make people buy (or use for free in this case) the product. People are not tech savvy. They want good looks and GNOME nailed it imo. It’s stunning. They even got me but I do care about aesthetics unfortunately. I’m a spoilt mass consumer. Eject me if you will.
accent color
Accent color taboo. Let’s not talk about accent color.
Mister/miss, you’re going too far with this advertising imo.
I get it that you hate this design and its obvious strong inspiration by Apple but accusing GNOME team in being lazy is too much. They created the most popular and one of the most stable DEs on Linux and their own workflow that’s similar to Apple’s but still is unique. Also when I saw that new design, I was amazed. To me it looks really great. It’s going to be a good update with accent color support (I won’t fight about it ok?) for sure. It’s just a matter of preference. Both designs are good enough technically imo.
Why would I use a system that isn’t supposed to change if I want to change it? It’s just not for me and I don’t want to waste my time reinstalling everything. And my opinion isn’t completely proven without trying but I have theoretical knowledge.
However, I totally understand why you’d not feel compelled to do as such 😅. Especially if your current distro/system works splendidly.
This.
Sometimes, placing it to
~/.local/share/themes
works as well*.
Ehh I prefer system-wide installation. I think it’s a habit from times when installing an Android app with root (so the OS treats it as a system app) increased its performance.
Both designs are good imo. Adding the extra space for the “cancel” button could cause a copyright claim so I think that’s a viable reason why it’s absent in GNOME. And I don’t see anything wrong in copying Apple design. They can do what they want and the new design is very nice in terms of ease of understanding and accessibility potentials. GNOME’s workflow is similar to Apple’s so why not copy some more things for better consistency?
No. I know that installing a GTK theme requires putting the files in /usr/share/themes that is not in /home. That’s why I said it. As an advanced user I love customization and freedom so immutable distros are a no go for me (and for many people imo). I didn’t even bother trying.
Same for you, fellow Lemmy user!
Everyone has an opinion on this. Won’t argue with yours.
Welcome to modern Linux where almost everything works, mister/miss
