@gnomelibre That would most likely degrade the experience for GNOME app developers. I think there’s value in having specialized tools. As mentioned by @andyholmes, a lot of Builder’s code most likely can be reused anyways since it has been abstracted into libraries.
I really want to love the GTK builder, it looks really great and I love the flatpak integration, but I always fall back to the more general use IDE even for gtk development (I am not really a Gnome developer but I dabbled)
I hope future #gnome will actually be able to pre-render these thumbnails without me having to open files first.. it's a bit ridic.. even my sway/thunar setup does that..
@codemonkeymike this is gnome you're talking about, they're more likely to take away the option to change how you view the file list than ever give MORE options on viewing thumbnails.
@gnome let’s credit @sonny and @tbernard for putting together the application, defending the case, earning the grant and leading the development initiative 👏
@kde That's why I love KDE:
It has cute mascot
It is minimalistic
It is beautiful
It has a big amount of features
It has a big amount of good apps
It can tweaked
Finally wrote about a topic, I have been thinking for a long time: a KDE Apps initiative. There are already more than 200 KDE Apps, but this is not enough. So let's more KDE apps together!
One thing that would certainly make the initial experience of running #Atomic#Fedora better for seasoned #Linux users is having the dnf command exist and grok rpm-ostree out of box. I understand why this is the current experience, but there's definitely room for improvement here:
@antnisp@jwf It depends... Toolbox/Distrobox for GUI does indeed work for some things, but not everything. There definitely needs to be less guesswork involved as to what is likely to work from where.
@funkybuddha@gnome BTW, Debian 12 comes with GNOME 43 so you'll probably not find any pure Debian-based distros with GNOME 46. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is probably the best Debian-based distro with GNOME 46.
Omg #KDE is soooo good. If their design philosophy was a bit more #GNOME or Apple like, I would literally switch. But I love my Berlin Gnomies, so running both it is.
Btw, I started to rework the Gnome pattern on openSUSE Tumbleweed in my free time and really reference #Aeon :D
My main problem with KDE is QT, because it’s so Cpp heavy and hard to integrate with other languages, unlike GTK. Maybe #XFCE could be interesting for me, now that they have a Wayland story and I learned about XApps 😼
@aral@janvhs@dgchrt Please remove me from this thread. I think it would be appropriate to remove @sovtechfund as well. This argument has already been had. I'm already doing what I can, and so is STF. I, for one, don't want the noise of rehashing this argument.
@ben Uh, didn't know that they had different plans in 2021. I was mostly referring to this post from 2022 (they seemed to have changed their PoV fast): https://usebottles.com/blog/an-open-letter/
I can totally see their point though - it's essentially an example of the difficulties people used to have with long-term stable distros like CentOS, at some point you want to be able to use newer deps without breaking a chunk of your users
