    I’ve tried GNOME 45 extensively and I just don’t see how it’s better.

    Even looking at the screenshots I don’t understand how GNOME 45 is better than GNOME 2. It doesn’t even LOOK better. You need extensions to get basic functionality like a window list and tray icons.

    Then there’s the bad parts, like every window now has different decorations, doesn’t work with nvidia, etc.

    There’s nothing wrong with angryposting, but it needs a kernel of truth which this is missing.


  • Well let’s see

    • Doesn’t work with nvidia, the leading vendor of graphics cards
    • Drops support for a huge set of diverse window managers and applications
    • Reimplements X11 functionality over shitbus, an incomprehensible nightmare
    • sandboxing security designed to enable Windows/Android like apps where users run random proprietary malware
    • Promoted for purely idiotic reasons like like “circular windows”

    I could go on…
