    Sure, can they consider stopping wasting money / time actually develop useful stuff? For a DE that got €1M from the Sovereign Tech Fund they’re not showing results.

    Okay fine, desktop icons can be a design decision, however a “disable animations” toggle on the settings that doesn’t disable ALL animations… that’s just poorly made software, not something you may have an opinion on.

    Yes, systemd is a very good and very well written piece of software while GNOME is a pile questionable decisions that uses web tech to create themes and takes about half a second to load up any window. Also the same pile where you’ve to use 3 different network management UIs to get stuff done. And… where you can’t have desktop icons because they were too hard to get done properly OR where you can’t have a “disable animations” toggle on the settings to actually disable ALL animations instead of just some stuff while leaving others arounds.



  • The problem with compiled JS is that it doesn’t last long. Any piece of software written in the popular frameworks will probably not compile in 5 years because xyz dependency. There might be ways around it, but all annoying and not good. Some type of software really needs more assurances that “might compile in 5 years” because some people can’t afford to upgrade to the latest framework down the path due to size or simply lack of time.




  • I don’t really get this type of “media” bullshit articles. Yes, Windows is becoming progressively worse with more annoyances but you also have more simple to use tools than ever to disable those annoyances in bulk.

    For the average user is far simpler to just run W10 Privacy, CTT or some other tool to disable all the annoying Windows features than it is to move to Linux and face all the major pain points people usually have around software compatibility and missing xyz very specific that isn’t really the same thing under Linux.

    There you go, fixed the Windows problem for you in a few clicks, no need to download an entire new OS and complain afterwards.
