I honestly don't think GNOME is that bad, I quite like it.

>>59042169
Fucking kill yourself retard.

>>59042169
Bring 'em lol

I don't like it at all.

but that's the nice thing about the free-software world, I don't have to, I can use one of like a half-dozen other DEs, I'm not stuck with what Apple or Microsoft decides is best.

>>59041909
GNOME's interface is the best out there for a DE. A shame it has a few other issues.

Do you seriously have two panels? Just switch to dash-to-panel

>>59042304
dash to panel hides global menu

>>59042330
There's an option for it in the settings. It adds it next to the tray.

KDE is for bosses.

What are your arguments against it?

I can think on a pair of what i consider valid arguments against it:
- Is somewhat limited regarding to customization. Even if people creates themes and extensions the developer often breaks compatibility every stable release. It's obvious the developers wants people to use the vanilla experience when possible.
- The icon view for the GTK+ file picker is a very sough after feature the developers just refuses to implement, it's a bit nasty because this affects every GTK program even if you're using KDE for example.
- The developers tries to force their vision of how the experience must be to all the users so instead of providing flexibility through options they prefer to strip features when possible in name of their "wanted experience".

On the other side i find the following pros:
- From the version 3.18 and onwards it feels very polished and it's getting even better.
- The experience feels very integrated, it certainly feels like a well though and consistent product.
- While it may feel a bit alien from people accustomed to the tradition desktop paradigm it certainly contains good proposals and it feels like a very productive environment.

That's just some thoughts.

Wayland removes that top bar for most programs and it looks sexy

>>59042470
You do realize you can push window titlebar to the top panel like unity, right?

>>59042246
All of your freetard DEs are shit

Wayland has nothing to do with that, stop being retarded and spreading misinformation.

>>59044580
i also need to know dis

>>59046236
I think it's pixel saver

>>59045746
It does lol.

Use MPV with xorg

Then use MPV with wayland

It works, idk why

>>59042260
Dis some cringy shit. People watch this?

>>59041909
I think it's pretty good in its current incarnation. Having to do 2 actions to launch a favourite annoys me though. I know there are extensions to get around this, but I'm just commenting on the default behaviour for launching shit.

>>59042260
Don't leave me hanging here lads — why was that executive running GNU/Linux?

>>59041909
That's what I liked from gnome 3. In fact I always had the top left corner on my kde to show all workspaces with their windows.

What is the to gain from using a desktop environment, instead of a bare window manager?

>>59041909
that's actually one of the few things i like about gnome other than that it'd be the gpu context menu thingy

>>59042470
imagine what happens if you hide the unity launcher bar and change icon style to small in LO.
