It's just an awful, painfully dim UX. The Tyranny of the Designer is on full display.
With HiDPI finally getting mature in MATE I may be able to convince them to return. But I suspect the nightmare that is Snap will keep them away.
- smoldesu 5y agoWith extensions it was possible to get a functional desktop up and running, but nothing short of a hassle. GNOME 40 is just a desolate wasteland of poor design decisions by comparison, if your family thought GNOME 3 was bad, they'd be flabbergasted by the newer releases.
