  • When saying it deserves “all” the criticism, I might have been hyperbolic
    I agree with most of what you said.

    The keep it simple philosophy I agree with, but there are a few UI decisions, a few missing features I couldn’t wrap my head around. They tend to be rectified in the end because it’s common sense, but it takes a very long time and it can be frustrating. I’m sorry my memory is shit so I only remember the sentiment and don’t have specifics. I do have one recent example, I needed to change a very simple shortcut. The system doesn’t allow it and it feels arbitrary.

    Extensions are really great. Some are absolute gems, and they tend to work perfectly. But the fact some are almost mandatory to have sane default is an issue. Especially when you have multiple devices. I don’t think most people want a useless popup telling you the program has launched (or the window is activated, what is it again?), popup which once clicked won’t even open said program. The extensions graveyard is hard to see though. I had recently a good one that wouldn’t be ported to latest gnome, killing my linux tablet workflow. and can anyone tell me what the app menu with icons in seemingly random order is for?

    I’ve used KDE for 4 years and mostly liked it, but I had tons of issues, and very few with Gnome.
    KDE users I know your experience might be different but I’m telling you how it went for me. Gnome, while imperfect in this regard, has been much better. I tried Plasma 6 when it came out and it was pretty much the same for me, but I will give it another try at one point.


  • 25 years ago it was served in my french school, once or twice a year maybe. Never saw any since.
    I remember thinking at the time it was ok, a bit like chicken.
    My biology teacher was aware of the menu and explained to us in which gruesome way they were butchered. I didn’t eat any after that. We had other “old fashioned” dishes from time to time, like veal tongue. Nobody liked that. There’s something a bit unsettling in seeing hundreds of tongues sitting in a big container
