I'm having a great time on GNOME, even without any extensions at all!
That is sort of the thing with Gnome. If you like it it's great, but if you don't there is nothing you can do to really change it. Like I think it's okay, but there are things I don't like and it is just too much effort to try to adapt it to my preferences.
So far from true
See: the above meme
You're right. The several extensions I have used for years don't exist because: meme. The many settings you can easily change in 2 minutes also fake. Meme.
I'm sure that's what they meant. That you literally cannot change a single setting in Gnome. What a good-faith interpretation.
Ah yes, the real good faith argument here is saying you can do nothing to customize GNOME because sometimes extensions break. Great point.
Your reading comprehension is severely lacking.
Gee thanks, person of superior intellect
Good for you. I broke my GNOME Pop OS build, I assume because of extensions and pop not updating anything for 2 years. GNOME goes against the Linux philosophy of user customisation.
They don’t develop GNOME for you, they develop GNOME for them
They don’t earn more with more users
If it's only for them then they shouldn't mind getting their Wayland protocol veto privilege taken away 🤷
Yea I agree, that seems fair 🤔 but it is for wayland to decide l, I guess
I used it for a while, because KDE was so buggy. Gnome gives you no functionality and it's still buggy, though.
Once KDE improved I switched to it, though
So you're not on Wayland you say?
I've been running native Wayland exclusively for ages. I disabled XWayland by running gnome-shell with the
--no-x11flag.What makes you think I wasn't?
There are bugs in Gnome 49 using xwayland like caps lock and other keys not working. But if you don't use x11 at all (and therefore applications relying on it) you won't encounter them.
