  • KDE Linux To Provide Better Hardware Support & Better Performance

    Jump

  • KDE is relatively smaller in scope than GNOME. Besides, GNOME has taken on its own hurdles like compatibility across devices, the userbase is also different so they're less likely to contribute towards areas like gaming for example.

    What lets GNOME dominate developer wise right now are adwaita and the language barrier - KDE is mostly c++, whereas in GNOME you'll find a mix of languages and outreach programs like GNOME circle.

  • You gotta load up Gnome with hundreds of extension

    You don't have to though? I use vanilla GNOME. Customization is never free, if you aren't using it it's just bloat and the more you add the more it slows down development.

  • I wish I installed Plasma on my Ubuntu sooner

    Jump

  • KDE is following GNOME in dropping x11 support in early 2027. The only solution if you want to still use x11 going forward is to get a LTS like ubuntu and bunker up for the next 10 years.

  • Wine 11 can run native wayland

    Jump

  • Wine has been able to run on wayland for a while now, though upstream wine uses a different wayland pipeline than proton-ge that uses em10/wine-wayland.

  • Why do people always talk about Ubuntu here instead of Kubuntu?

    Jump

  • Ubuntu's GNOME is quite different from the vanilla GNOME you'll find in fedora.

    Jump

  • Extensions can crash your system on GNOME as they modify the shell itself, so running incompatible extensions is a real problem. The upside to this is that when you find an extension and it has your version on it, it's guaranteed to run. Fyi you can easilly override the version requirements.

  • GNOME 48.8 Released With Bug Fixes and Security Updates

    Jump

  • GNOME major upgrades (v48, v49...) always break extensions by design to force the extension maintainers to update. It's generally recommended to hold off on upgrading for a few weeks to give maintainers time to update their extensions.

  • GOG plan to look a bit closer at Linux through 2026

    Jump

  • It's against their interest to offer this as they have everything to gain by making you install their proprietary application and capturing you inside their ecosystem where they don't have to compete fairly. Would Steam be in the position it's in if you didn't have to install it to download your games?

  • Zorin OS 18 Hits 2 Million Downloads as Windows Users Drive Growth

    Jump

  • GNOME's always been customizable with gsettings and extensions, the problem is that the options aren't exposed in the user settings and in the case of the extensions they are only available through third party software. The upside to this is that the desktop environment is leaner which allows faster development and generally less bugs.

  • Exploring Dash to Dock: (Probably) The Most Downloaded GNOME Extension

    Jump

  • Why unfortunately? GNOME puts a lot of work in accessibility and being viable on every device.

  • How bad can it be? It's just GNOME with a few extensions to make it look like windows.

  • GNOME and Mozilla Discuss Proposal to Disable Middle Mouse Paste on Linux

    Jump

  • As I explained elsewhere there is no official app to change this setting

    You're skipping a step here, first a decision needs to be made on whether or not the default will change, then and only then can they decide whether it's worth adding something like a toggle to the mouse settings panel, which would be trivial btw.

  • Among 2025 games with over 10K reviews, Deltarune is the most highly rated

    Jump

  • Steam reviews aren't really a good quality metric, a 6/10 game can have 95% ratings, it's the rotten tomatoes of video games.

  • 44% Of GNOME Core Apps Are Written In C, 13% In JavaScript & 10% In Rust

  • You could always read the original source and find out the intent, but who has time for that?

  • Apple hit with $115M fine for “extremely burdensome” App Store privacy policy

    Jump

  • Part of the problem here is that those extra permissions weren't required if you used Apple's ad service. They stifled competition in their own favor.
