Community rules (click to expand)

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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •

    I feel like the majority of DE developers are just back-end developers, which like, of course that's not going to be a great user experience lol

    It's a fine DE... But boy making appindicator/KStatus an un-officially-supported extension is dumb

    I actually like Gnome. I like the way it looks and I have no problems with UX. I also don't feel the need to use any extensions.

    GNOME peaked with 2 which is why I prefer MATE.

    Old gnome is nostalgic to me, because my first venture into Linux was Fedora Core 4. I was still using Win98 at the time, and gnome 2.10 felt so modern in comparison, with rounded corners and soft gradients.

    Coming back to Linux after having not touched it for a very, very long time I tried gnome again and I just do not like it at all. It's weird looking. Maybe too modern for me, i don't know.

    If you miss GNOME 2 try MATE. It is a continuation of GNOME 2.

    Gnome has more in common with hyprland than it does with tablet interfaces

    I love GNOME and hate KDE

    When i switched from Windows to Linux, i wanted actual changes, not just a slightly different look

    Unrelated question: does anyone know how to show the time in fullscreen or merge the bar with window close button with the top bar with the screen so there arent 2 different bars in GNOME?

    Gnome has the best kbm experience out of the box

    But this meme doesn’t make sense because Gnome is also really high in the accessibility community
