GNOME is underfunded - bugs are not fixed for years, PRs are not reviewed for months. It might look more shiny on the surface, but once you realize something doesn't work - you're on your own.
See for example this:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/4051 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/4051
Nobody is assigned to fix these.

- zb3 11mo ago> work on what their employer needs them to do. That's precisely what I meant - there are no employees that are assigned by their employer to ensure GNOME works. That's why the comparison with macOS makes no sense.
- kasabali 11mo agoGNOME is by far the most funded Linux DE. If you think it's underfunded then other DEs are broke. If nobody is assigned to GNOME bugs it's because developers were more interested in redesigning some app or rewriting some APIs than fixing bugs. jwz explained it 25 years ago: https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html
