This sort of sounds like a vegan/vegetarian telling me that the veggie chicken tenders taste a lot like regular chicken tenders.

- Barrin92 6y agothis analogy works on a deeper level than you think because you can make some really great vegan meat replacements although the majority of people just stubbornly refuses to believe we're there yet
- masnao 6y agovegetarian meat (usualy from industrial satay, made with dissolved soy in whatever chemical bath) is what drives me away from pretty much every vegetarian/vegan place. this is why opensource that is just a cargo cult to copying even the bad decisions of commercial software harms more than help. id be fine tasting a nice indian meal made with vegetables. but instead I get gnome changing the side of the window close buttons (while at the same time removing the options dialog to change it back) just because the designer du jour liked copying osx instead of windows. it's fake-meat all over again.
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoThis makes no sense. Gnome has its buttons on the same side as Windows. You are probably thinking about ubuntu which patched gnome to move the buttons to the left. And even ignoring that detail, the side the window buttons are on is entirely made up. Windows isn't the real OS with OSX as the fake windows clone. The gnome philosophy is to support a minimal number of configurations but to make sure they are all tested and work perfect. Other DEs allow full customizability but I have found them to be buggy. How many desktop environments actually let you switch the window button side? I haven't seen one, and if you know one, why are you using gnome instead of it?
- thayne 6y ago> How many desktop environments actually let you switch the window button side? KDE does. And Gnome used to.
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoSo use KDE then? Last time I tried it I found it to lack the polish that gnome has.
- cbpowell 6y agoGive KDE a try. Gnome has steadily dumbed down and removed features; KDE is delightfully customizeable and very, very polished in current form.
- fiddlerwoaroof 6y agoThis. After the KDE 4 debacle, I gave up on KDE because they cut all the functionality I relied on. However, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how functional the newer KDE5/Plasma desktop is, especially once you change a handful of really ugly defaults (mouse cursors, window switcher and a couple other similar things)
- cbpowell 6y agoThat, imho, is the major boat anchor holding KDE down: the ugly defaults. If they would take a moment to apply tasteful default settings it would make a huge difference in the marketing value. In the end, though, KDE is "just like Linux" in the philosophy of "you don't like it? change it!"
- fiddlerwoaroof 6y agoOut of the box, though, KDE Neon or Magneia are nice enough. The new Breeze theme is much better than Oxygen. What concerns me a lot more is that major features like Activities don’t “just work” on major Linux distributions (e.g. on Debian testing, on my desktop, trying to create a new activity just sort of hangs and causes a daemon’s cpu usage to spike to 100%

- bachmeier 6y agoMaybe I should have just downvoted and left it at that, but it's late at night, so here goes. How exactly do you think a comment like this contributes to the discussion? Someone posted a list of tools they use. You reply with this. The world would be better off without this type of information-free negativity.
