I recently installed Debian with Gnome on a laptop, and the UI is miles and miles better than what it was ~7 years ago. It used to feel old and like a knockoff of Windows XP or something. Now I only want to use Gnome on Linux. Huge credit to the Gnome team for all of these UI improvements they’ve been making, it’s a serious amount of work gone into things.

Why is it the canon way to install rust by piping curl output to sh???
6·11 months agoThe article is dumb. It states:
If you count Android and Chrome OS as Linux, which I do, the Linux desktop accounts for 44.98 percent of the end user market.
Linux != Linux desktop, and that’s the point of the article, but in their premise they’re equating them.
That’s the point at which you write a feature-request ticket. And then you put features into buckets like “v0.1”, “v0.2”, etc. Then you have to think about which bucket you are working from, and can look longingly at v0.2’s content instead of getting to work on v0.1.
Probably better to post it as a discussion, rather than a link to an article, given there’s no news or anything.
It’s a Windows-specific client, but I really like GitExtensions.
I’d be curious which design decisions you thought were awful and were difficult to turn off? I’ve always though UIs across all OSes are very inflexible (e.g. on a Mac, you can’t change command-tab to alt-tab, and can’t cycle same-app windows without a separate keybind), so I’m not usually surprised when things are difficult to disable.
My only negative experience with Gnome was not seeing which apps were open at a glance (need to alt-tab and tile all windows). This is mainly a “what I’m used to” kind of thing though.
