I don't want to be in a position where the developers of the currently most installed desktop environment GNOME are calling the shots.
GNOME is removing instead of adding features left and right and as a power user I get treated like a toddler that's being told what's good for me.
- iso1210 6y agoI haven't used gnome since I tried version 2, and KDE was before then. I spent years on icewn, blackbox and fluxbox, but now I'm happy enough with xfce. I haven't customised things like colours on my user interface since the days on windows 3.1 though. Mouse focus, click to hover, highlight to copy, various keyboard shortcuts for sticking windows in the right place (top left, bottom right, full screen, half screen, etc) sure, but colours?
- bzzzt 6y agoSo, macOS is too restrictive and Gnome should not be in a position where somebody 'calls the shots'. Seems like any way you see it you still have no control over your machine. May I suggest you write your own desktop environment?
- foepys 6y agoNo need to be snarky. KDE is perfectly fine and suits my needs. The window handling is amazing and I can fix sizes, positions, z-indeces, transparency, and tiling however I want without anybody telling me that I'm using it wrong. The same is valid for other free window managers like fluxbox or xfce.
