I just can recall tar xvzf but can't even remember what it's supposed to do.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and though I'm not a fan of GNOME since 2008 (I guess you can check my recent comments...) I concede you can see the (visual) direction they're trying to follow with Adwaita UI and trying to make it cohesive and coherent. Something I wish other DEs did that religiously, like Xfce, Enlightenment, even KDE itself, LXQt or you-name-it.

Still I think the problem with Adwaita is not that it's ugly or something (I'd say more that it is highly opinionated, as it has become the full GNOME experience - either you like it as it is and it fits you like a glove, or you have to use something else because there's no point in between), but a couple things even worse than that - (1) the serious issues it has brought to accessibility, i.e. not being able to tell with full certainty what is a button and what it is not in a toolbar, and (2) doing awful things in usability and UX for the sake of "convergence". Like putting the primary action ("open" or "save" buttons) of dialogs in the exact same spot where you'd find the close button in every else window. Why is that? Yes, because "convergence". On desktop.

All in all the hate towards Adwaita could be that it's allegedly a visible symptom of how GNOME has so much power over GTK that Xfce and co are doing black magic trying to get rid of it for their development. I've just read rumors so don't quote me on this, but I'd believe it can be true.

Kinda rich dissing KDE for its "unstability" and putting GNOME as its paradigm, the very DE well known to break every major version.

Sometimes this kind of posts/"content" make me feel like I must be the only person in the world who hasn't had major issues with KDE and it's been absolutely flawless lately, specially since 5 - but I then realize people without issues don't complain. It's the people who have issues with something that make the noise and make it a very big deal (and I'd argue most cases are of the PEBCAK type).

If the need is for something simple and stable I'd shoot for something like Xfce - but putting GNOME as the example of "stability" is nothing but laughable.

I'm with you - I was kind of happy with GNOME2 back in the day, but the forecoming of what was going to be GNOME3 made me jump out that ship and became a refugee in KDE.

It's a shame the Linux ports of Chrome and Firefox are written in GTK because of the reasons you mentioned. Once I heard some guy at GNOME talking about porting Firefox directly to Wayland - which sounds kind of bollocks for a pedestrian like me - but if it's possible, I hope that they succeed and Firefox can become a toolkit-agnostic web browser.

But at the same time I wonder about projects like Xfce and if they ever decide to move away from GTK, like LXDE did. I mean, a fusion between Xfce and Enlightenment would be awesome.

As any person that lives under a rock I barely blinked and everyone was using streaming services while I kept half of my hard drive full of pirated mp3 and never got to understand why people fell for that trap. I really like MPD, though when it goes yolo it's a pain in the butt to re-configure it.

I used ncmpcpp for like 10 years (or even more, but I can't recall) but only a couple years ago re-discovered ncmpc and liked its minimalism (compared to ncmpcpp, that is). Even wrote a couple stupid patches to change the default progress bar.

But a few weeks ago learned about mmtc. Which is written in rust.

I didn't have rust installed and the 12 GB of RAM weren't enough to compile rust in my Gentoo box so I used this as an excuse to buy more RAM. And then compiled rust and it took a bit more of an hour so I could use this shiny "new" MPD player. Only to discover its so minimal it doesn't have an database update function - the author literally says you have to set a key combination to call mpc to do so.

KDE prioritizes features and customization over stability and out of the box experience.

I mean, the fact that the very new major release of KDE almost hadn't added new features and focused on a rather smooth upgrade kinda proves otherwise.

Especially that Linus Torvalds guy.

Wait until you learn about the beloved OpenBSD leader Theo De Raadt.

Imagine being so hard no other but frigging Linus Tolvards says you're "difficult".

Gentoo comes with OpenRC as default so I roll with it. And it's simple and it works.

Plus the idea of having to randomly wait for some obscure stuff to block for a minute the boot/shutdown is not my thing.

Because propaganda is something else. We have a term for them, "morenazis" (something like brown-skin nazis").

One of the reasons I got so bored with Reddit is that in the largest sub of my country, r/Colombia, there's a clusterfuck of right-wing neckbeards obsessed with politics who truly believe the world and the country is as they learn from it from social media (not only from Twitter or Facebook, but even from Reddit and 4chan themselves) and live inside a bubble, most probably protected by mommy and daddy. I recall those morons making fun of people watching open air TV because they think everybody should be watching streaming services, in a country where about half of the people don't have access to the internet, another chunk don't even have a TV and there's people with no access to electricity at all. Hell, at this very moment there are kids dying from hunger. At the time I left they even created at least a couple more subs to openly ventilate their stupidity, r/ColombiaReddit and r/ChomposCol.

So, it's kind of privileged and near-sighted people with the IQ of a potato blaming less fortunate people for issues their class have caused in the first place.
