    GIMP - Development Update: Closing In on the 3.0 Release Candidate

    Jump

  • It's like this everywhere, you'll always be initially met with circumspection. Passer-by contributions are not a help, helping out new contributors is a lot of effort that not every maintainer wants to deal with. You want to help, that's great, but you're not entitled to helping.

    Gnome might be a club, but it's definitely not closed, you just need to put in the effort to show you're worth having around.

  • Well as far as i can see you've only had a problem with evince, which is retired btw. Gnome isn't a giant blob, each maintainer handles their project in their own way.

  • With that both statements could have some truth: 5/6 MRs could be merged and it could still be that they dislike external contributions.

    External contributions aren't really a thing, 99% of contributions come from people that have been contributing for a while.

    As for your MR, you need to go where help is actually wanted, solve issues nobody has gotten to yet. Newer projects are typically easier to contribute to. Probably inquire a bit about the maintainers and project direction in general first.

  • Gnome is a very large project with hundreds of different developers and maintainers. I can't speak to your experience but you should avoid generalizing like that, also filing a complaint is always an option; there's a few people over the years that have been kicked out.

  • 5/6 of MRs get merged...

  • Most gamers prefer single-player games

  • Warcraft 3's custom games were a mess, people left all the time which made team games irritating as hell, and the skill level varied widely from one game to the next so half the games ended up with feeders and a stomping one way or the other.

  • Battle net only became a thing in like 2010, steam came very early in 2002, and started off straight away with exclusives that required you to install their client. They still do btw, there's no portal, dota... on epic or whatever.

  • I mean, we definitely do have a steam monopoly on desktop, they might not be abusing their position much, as of yet anyways, but it's a monopoly all the same. They captured the desktop playerbase in their little ecosystem and now people are stuck because of their game catalog, achievements, friend list...

    What we really need is a standardization of these systems and interoperability between platforms so that they're forced to actually compete instead of being miles ahead just by virtue of being there first.

  • It's bloat, unnecessary junk that's part of their ecosystem. Instead of having specialized apps, you have one app that does everything; and of course every other brand has to have their own, even fucking musk wants it for twitter.

    This creates two problems, first it strains your hardware for no reason, second it creates dozens of walled gardens that don't interoperate, if you want to chat with your steam friends, you need to go on steam, if you want to play your games, you need to open the right launcher; this is the same shit apple is getting prosecuted for by the EU right now.

  • Sounds good to me. It's annoying that connecting to a store and a social media platform has become so normalized. I just want to play a game.

  • When will Steam stop using i386 packages?

  • That 10% is only there so that you can participate and feel involved; awards are mostly money schemes and industry people patting each other on the back.

  • Tilda is barely maintained anymore, you can get Tilix that has the same quake like feature. You can also add the quake terminal extension to your favorite alternative if you use gnome.

  • Wine-GE was abandoned for the new UMU-launcher. Lutris will use UMU if you target the GE-Proton (latest) version.

    You can always use vanilla wine or wine staging too, make sure you install dxvk in the prefix though with winetricks.

  • Installing things on linux is generally the same as phones. There's a shop-like GUI where you can look up your applications and get them, they'll also update automatically.

    If the software isn't in your distribution repository, that's when it starts to be like windows, you need to hunt it down and either get an appimage or something like that, or build and compile it yourself.

    This week in Plasma: Stabilization for 6.2

    Jump

  • Yeah sorta. First you gotta know what the problem is, good luck getting the average user to figure out the UI looks off because of the padding. Then you gotta know where and how you need to change it to make it better.

    Customizing is cool for power users that like to fiddle with their settings, however it can't replace good defaults; not that I have anything against the defaults in this case...

  • Defaults matter, most people never bother customizing.
