1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    I love the Gnome workflow, but holy shit, I get the hate. Why doesn't it support a lockscreen that's not gdm?

    [–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 21 points 5 months ago (2 children)

    I actually think general Gnome workflow is pretty alright (even if I prefer other things), but yeah, Gnome devs seem to like. Actively hate their users?

    GNOME is the Apple of the FOSS world

    [–] Darorad@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah, like I'm all in favor of having an opinionated design, but their dominance makes their bad decisions actively harm every other de. Stuff like refusing to compromise on cross-desktop protocols

    [–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Their "dominance" is the choice of the distributions. Gnome is opinionated, and I respect that they follow their vision. To me this is free software working as intended, people are free to fork Gnome if they want something that the devs don't want. And apparently, many distributions think Gnome should be the default. Maybe it shouldn't, but that's up to the distros to decide.

    Oh yeah, they're free to decide, I just disagree with them! I get the decision though, and if I were on charge of a large distro, I'd probably make the same choice (until plasma is on a normal release cycle)

    Wayland expects you to use the desktop for everything including locking. What's wrong with the lock screen? It seems fine.

    [–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    It doesn't work at all with sddm. That's what's wrong.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I though you were on gnome

    [–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    I'd like to have the freedom to switch easily.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    That is not going to happen as KDE and gnome conflict

    [–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    On what? On dependencies? That shouldn't be an issue with nixos.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Configuration files

    [–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 months ago

    Shouldn't be an issue with nixos.

    I honestly like the vertical integration, but I can see why Linux folks would be annoyed. Honestly GNOME fits my workflow perfectly after a few extensions (mainly Dash to Dock). I’m super fickle, so its rigidity helps
