From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

an article explaining why GNOME should support SSD, but also arguing against the reasons often given for why they shouldn't

If someone could repost this to r/GNOME I would appreciate it, since I don't have a reddit account.

I've avoided Gnome since the shift to GTK 3, when it became apparent that the devs were hiding functionality in the name of some greater vision that was never explained to lesser mortals.

You don't get to call me dumb, only my wife can do that.

XFCE and KDE have served me well, at least they don't hide settings and functionality from me.

I agree. GNOME 3 is completely unusable, and I can't stand client side decorations because it leads to inconsistencies and ugly apps. Give me a standard title bar FFS

I wouldn't say unusable, it's tolerable. But it does get in your face in a very opinionated way, that gets old fast.

Seems like 9 gnome devs use lemmy.

is this a reference to Lemmy's opposition to basic search functions
