Could you cite the reports for us?

I grew up with it, at school we would use the CMS keyboard but at home we had ANSI keyboards, so all my homework was done on that keyboard using an fr-ca layout. You just eventually re-map the keys in your head.

Yeah MATE is lighter but the margin is small since it’s basically GNOME 2.

Still is almost as light performance and memory footprint wise when talking about GNOME 46.

Base GNOME isn’t much larger than MATE.

I’m French Canadian. I just use a US keyboard and learned where the French keys are on the frca layout and I don’t need to look at the keyboard. I’ve gotten so good that typing on a CMS keyboard is awkward for me.

They all fucking suck

Good S0ix support. At the moment, Linux mostly fails to sleep correctly on modern S0ix laptops, which happens to be most modern laptops.

This means the battery drains incredibly fast, and S0ix features aren’t being used, which is unfortunate as it has potential for quick wake, lid closed actions and limiting battery drain while asleep (since S0ix can eventually hibernate automatically from a sleep state)

Also the boot loader could be improved, systemd-boot needs to support secure boot natively so we can be rid of the slow, ancient and scary-looking GRUB.

ITT: It’s sketchy and will possibly mess with your Wayland set up.

Ah yes, the RCS problem. Thanks for the clarification!

tl;dr why have they taken a stance against it?

You’re talking about extensions.

Extensions that don’t come from GNOME are not supported at all, they’ve made that clear. If they wanted to, they could just stop allowing third party extensions altogether.

This is because they hook directly into GNOME Shell’s’ internal JS, which changes every release as they refactor it for performance or feature changes. Developers have a few months before release to adjust their extensions for the newer version.

Personally, I just raw dog vanilla GNOME for stability, and it works fine.

I personally love it, I use Linux for work and I need it to be concise, consistent and stable.

Given its icon, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s religious-themed :P

Nah.

Omg I’m so sorry, no you’re right, fuck GNOME, all its devs are doodoofards! /s

I like the opinionated nature of GNOME, I don’t have time to configure my desktop, I just need to do work and get paid.

Do you want to see Mozilla and Firefox die a hero, or do you want to see it live long enough to become the villain?

With the US ruling of Google being a monopoly, Mozilla is bound to lose a lot of their income if that’s the decision that comes to pass. I’m happy with the courts ruling Google as a monopoly (because they are), but it does mean Mozilla needs to try to make money some other way.

Genuine question, would you be willing to pay for all the content you consume using a “token” system where each page, video or other piece of media has a price to it, usually about a cent per article or 5c per video, is automatically debited from either an account loaded with real money or some sort of blockchain, at the discretion of the user? A token could be one cent.

There’d be an open API, and multiple brokers could handle that transaction for you, so there is no vendor lock-in. You could even be your own broker if you set up your own server that talks to the servers hosting any media you’d like to consume. It would get rid of online advertising, but you have to pay out of pocket for server costs and content creation costs.
