I think Fedora is way underrated. They let Gnome do it’s thing in terms of the look and feel, and focus on bringing other tech into the desktop fold. They did this with Wayland, Flatpak and Pipewire, bringing them into a major stable distribution before any other equivalent distro did.
And personally, I think Gnome is absolutely awesome. If Desktop Linux has any hope of succeeding, it needs exactly what Gnome is doing. A stable UI API that developers can develop apps towards.
Gnome devs got so much flak for getting rid of theming/customization (they haven’t gotten rid of it, but they’ve made it much harder by default), but the reality is that it’s what’s made it possible for Gnome to implement real Dark mode so effectively.
I just updated my Ubuntu to 22.04 and absolutely love all that Gnome has brought to the table (sure Ubuntu added accent colors, but Gnome will likely get that within months).
I think the Fedora + Gnome combo is just brilliant and will potentially make the year of Linux on the Desktop actually achievable.
- oynqr 4y agoThe dark mode handling has been the worst thing about Gnome for a long time, only getting worse with GTK4. I fondly remember some apps not accepting any global dark mode setting, only having a toggle in their own settings. Having switched to KDE since, it's nice to know the situation has seemingly improved.
