1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    I don't find it very inefficient. There's also plenty of customization. This is a pretty specious comparison; on iOS you literally pay money a la carte for minor customization options. On GNOME, you might have to turn to less-supported third party extensions, or God forbid do some very minor config file or command line work. Far less than you'd need to do to do something similar in a tiling wm, of course... And most things that end users who just want to actually use their computer might care about are supported already. The system tray is the single feature I think is glaringly missing from GNOME currently, hopefully they'll get that officially supported soon.

    Kind of weird to get so bent out of shape about some people choosing to use a certain interface.

    Lmao, you even admit hoe dumb it is with the system tray. And you're wrong, I can have XFCE exactly hoe I want it in a matter of 15 minutes, using only the settings apps, and it will absolutely dog walk the workflows of GNOME.

    Lmao I was not expecting XFCE. You're funny.

    It has the most sane defaults out of the box, and can literally run ciricles around GNOME as far as setting keyboard shortcuts. It's crazy you're so in love with the most neutered, asinine, uncustomizable DE in Linux and even admit how dogshit it is so why are we still discussing. You literally admitted it.

    Hahahahahaha you are so insanely triggered over nothing this is great

    [–] tritonium@midwest.social 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Says the dude that got defensive because his DE was criticized...

    [–] verdigris@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Right. I'm being defensive.
