              So you're fine with constant bugs? Maybe I just set a higher bar than you. I prefer my desktop to not glitch out every 5 seconds. I'm also on Fedora 38.

              The fact that the KDE dev team can't get their shit together is why there's an online Wayland hate mob at all. They can't admit that the problem lies with KDE so instead they write Wayland off completely.

              They have no idea what Wayland is. They don't understand that it's the KDE dev team that writes the code, not the Wayland team.

                not entirely true.
                gnome has moved all the inputs to a separate thread, it was merged for gnome 45.
                they also did merge a fix for gpu heavy applications making the entire desktop lag.

                it does not fix gnome being a laggy piece of shit, its just that the cursor will not stutter anymore, and games will run as normal, no matter the gpu load.

                the problem is that it took gnome 10 years to actually do it.
                10 fucking years, and its not even gnome who fixed it, it was canonical, cuz they are as frustrated as we are.

                One of the main problems with GNOME is that their devs are so easily butthurt that they will ignore obvious issues and bugs for years, if the one who reported it used a wrong word or if a GNOME dev got pointed out to be wrong.
                They don't use their own DE, they don't give a fuck.

                That could be super simple things
                i.e. Alt-Tab used to cycle between all applications of all virtual desktops / workspaces, which was very confusing and defeated the purpose of virtual desktops.
                It got reported, a dev claimed that it WAI and that windows and mac do it the same way (linux DEs dont count, only comparisons to windows).
                The reporter did the unthinkable and proved him wrong and said that windows does not do that.
                The issue got ignored for five years and then finally quietly in an update they changed Alt-Tab to be consistent with everyone else.

                There are multiple examples of those. One issue was about the terminal taking multiple seconds to close if there is a background process still going. They got a patch submitted that solves it.
                The dev even openly stated that he doesnt want to fix it because the one reporting the issue was rude to him.
                Multiple distributions shipped their own patches to solve it themselves.

              qt is fucking shit it is probably why KDE is bug infested
              - they change NOTHING in the major releases it is still the same boomer API shit from the 90s
              - their shitty API refuses to take C++ types, they insist on their own shitty reimplemention of the C++ stdlib because back then it was shit but nowadays it does not make sense
              - still giving me raw pointers when smart pointers are a thing, yea I love reading documentation about ownership especially when it does not state it WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE POINTER??
              - No sane property binding system like GTK's, either use theirs which got introduced in Qt6 which does not handle cycles and is not thread safe, use QML and figure out how to integrate it with CMake into your Sepples project, implement a half assed solution yourself or throw the towel and remember to update your variables manually which is probably why KDE has so many bugs
              - language bindings? heh we only have Python, while there are others, they are currently on Qt5 or Qt4 because it is not easy to generate bindings for C++

              Qt is a noob trap just like Python the easy stuff is really easy but when you get into the actual important things it gets ugly

                I dont have to implement fractional scaling myself, because KDE fully supports it with qt6.
                GNOME believes that you don't need fractional scaling and that nobody should use displays that are larger than 1080p.
                I am fine with that, if ebassi wants to create a DE that is only for 10+ years old hardware, so be it.
                But for me this means that i don't have a usecase for GNOME.

    Ok to be fair, if we're comparing it to the KDE file picker
    I switched to KDE recently and I often save shit using the file picker in the same location with lots and lots of files, I remember GNOME file picker just working kind of instantly when hitting the save button, but every goddamn time I do the same on KDE it has to load a few files in that list before it registers that I pressed save, it's annoying. It takes me 5 seconds to save each file at least.

      If you want to see all open windows, as well as the dock, press the super key or move the mouse to the upper-left corner.

            Once upon a time, GNOME had 70% of Linux DE share. The last number was 40% or so, i think, and that was a decade ago.

            yes, every desktop needs to be identical. why do we have so many different DEs and WMs ? there should be just one, that's looks exactly like windows 95.

            god forbid anyone from going beyond a single desktop paradigm. there have been no other graphical environments besides windows, kde and gnome. no OS has ever had a GUI without a windows task bar / start menu.

            you live in a tiny retarded bubble. you seem to completely lack any experience of other systems. if you had ever used anything besides windows or linux you wouldn't get your panties all twisted just because a GUI isn't exactly like windows.

          No need for fractional scaling if your monitor has such a high pixel density that you can do a 200% scale.

      It's hard to make a proper usability study nowadays because we don't have any truly unbiased people left.
      Everybody already experienced and used some interface.
      Be it a zoomer who only uses iPhones or a boomer on his Windows 7.

      So we end up taking telemetry data to check where people click the most. Which mozilla did and created Photon based on it, which is awful and hated by everyone. Or we try to come up with metrics like how far you have to move a cursor to do a common task.

      you don't think Apple did studies on the Aqua GUI before they released it?

      they didn't pull it out of their ass. everything in that GUI is carefully thought out.

      the top menu bar is a remnant from Mac OS Classic, but it's a good idea nonetheless. i don't understand why everyone doesn't copy it, since it saves screen real estate by only displaying the menu for the app / window that's currently in focus. instead of displaying superfluous menus in every fucking window simultaneously, even though it's impossible to click on every window. the menus in unfocused windows are useless and don't need to be displayed. apple did it right.
