Anything that's shown in main settings has to be QA'd and officially supported, often at a commercial level.
Anything hidden in Tweaks or about:config like settings can be classed as "here be dragons".
That's one reason GNOME has less settings (not the main one). Less Settings = less to test, less to support.
- simion314 7y agoBut why are some GNOME fans get irritated and irrationally in this case complain about the fact that some developers are more capable of supporting more settings. Why you as a user are bothered that application X has options for people more capable then you of using them. I am a developer and I understand the part of more coptions and more code paths means more things to test, but with robust code it is not a big deal. Imagine the wallpaper would be hard coded because the developers are lazzy and won't test with a different wallpaper. As a person with dsabilities I contributed a few patches and it would suck to have them rejected because I would need to bring a proof that there is a majority of users that need those things addressed. Anyway i was not complaining about GNOME removing options or hidding them but complaining that some insecure person for some reason had to complain about KDE into a topic about Wayland support.
