gross

Did they fix the memory leaks?

A FUCKING FOOT
are they still running a second gnome-shell just for gdm? Did they fix mouse stutter on Wayland (mutter being a single-threaded javascript abomination)? Do the animations work smoothly yet? Is it still capped to 60fps on Wayland? And most importantly, what features did they remove this version?

gnome can't compete against xfce

Foot can't compete against anyone

looks like shit

post your processor, for all I know you're tweeting from an i3 700

All dis wasted space.
Feels bad man.
Use Budgie.

>yes

Unlabeled graphs, what the actual fuck

Use your imagination :)))

So that means no.

can this 1 button in the titlebar meme please stop

I wish such titlebars end as well.

why is gnome so bloated? Why can't the DE nerds combine their powers and make one good customizable but light DE that doesn't have tearing? What's the point of having millions of desktop environments? LXDE is dead, XFCE is dead, gnome is shit, LXQT might be promising, etc.

You forgot kde and how it’s great

Ask gnome devs. This image is straight from OP linked.
Not to mention the fact even an i3 700 should be fucking plenty just to run a graphical shell.

Try MATE. Also KDE with some effects disabled is not terribly heavy either.

it's buggy and uses too much ram

We can't compete with something we don't what does or hat is, sorry.

I use xfce currently and I've thought about switching to LXDE, MATE is 2bloated4me

How many features have they removed?

JUST

Boot a KDE Neon live ssion and is unsing ~400mb ram. Shut up.

>second gnome-shell just for gdm

>2004 + 14

Isn't xfce kinda dead as far as development goes? That's what I've heard at least.

>Gnome 3.28 released
For how many weeks will GTK be broken this time?

It's literally all Qt's fault for being nonfree in the 90s. Gtk and GNOME exist because Qt wasn't Free back then.

Fuck this desktop shit show. The Desktop is a stupid metaphor for computers anyway. Can anyone reccomend a good distro with .rpm support that comes with a window manager by default?

Who fucking cares anymore?

>by default?
Literally who cares about the defaults? Install gentoo.

What features did they remove this time?

Why is GNOME so unpopular here? Is it just because it's so big? I used it last year and it was great. Did it get worse since then?

They started a policy of removing features rather than adding them.
Also they're radically changing how they deal with the desktop and deprecating well established standards for their new 'vision'
Also they're forcing application developers to either choose 'their way or the highway' and if anyone doesn't play along they'll deliberately change APIs for anything that will hurt a developer most every version until the application developer succumbs.

I do! I have been spoiled by having really kick ass sysadmins at work. And because of their incredible awesomeness I am a total Linux noob still.

Envy my friend, mostly from KDE shills who can't stand GNOME is the standar Linux DE and not their cucked DE.

Fuck GNOME team, fuck GTK.
I don't use crash-prone KDE either.

Qt is fine, Plasma is gay.

Xfce and kde have good furry porn, while gnome is >a fucking foot

The choice is obvious.

So is GTK...

Not even a good looking foot.
If GNOME wants us back they'd better get a new logo.

You wish, even has the Stallman seal of aproval

Attached: stallman_loves_gtk.png (1507x237, 18K)

Because it's Stallman's group project, surely it's gonna be approved by him.

And Stallman doesn't aprove proprietary garbage, so that is why he aproves GTK and GNOME.

GTK is actually more 'proprietary' than Qt now.
Qt is available as GPLv3 licensed software but allows anyone to contribute.
GTK as a project on the other hand really only accepts contributions from RedHat and Canonical.

Both could be forked into new GPLv3 projects without the existing maintainers.

GPLv3 is proprietary garbage?
Because Qt is GPLv3...

Lol what the fuck is that supposed to show me?

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with the Gnome devs? How do you fuck up Dashboards?

>Not even a good looking foot.
You gotta be an homo, is the best looking foot there is.

actually it's lgpl or paid propietary

>Talking out of his ass
You KDE shills are really desesperated
BTW,you need to sign an abusive and anti-freedom CLA is you want to contribute to Qt, stay cucked.

Nope, it's GPLv3 since 2016 bucko.
It's still also available as proprietary and as LGPL3 though.

You need to start employment with Redhat to contribute to GNOME... That's a CLA.

You need to sign an abusive and anti-freedom CLA is you want to contribute to Qt,if by definition, proprietary garbage.

>Still talking aout of his ass
The commit story says the contrary, you KDE shills are realy desesparated to made up such ridiculous claims.

So GNOME will accept any contribution? now matter how bad?

>now matter how bad?
Don't push your luck n00b, even Linus would whipe the floor with a trash contribution.

>XFCE is dead

That's cool and all, but I'm only here to watch the "standar" Gnome shill sperg out as usual.

if (desktopEnv() != "GNOME") {
showStatusIcon();
}

wow that was hard

It's not that it's hard--it sets a bad precedent.

A popular DE should not be able to push library authors around.

>A FUCKING FOOT
Not an argument
>are they still running a second gnome-shell just for gdm?
That's one of the good things about Gnome.
I want power management, screen saver, screen readers and keyboard, international options, brightness and volume control in login
Running a second session is the best solution
>Did they fix mouse stutter on Wayland (mutter being a single-threaded javascript abomination)?
No, mutter and gnome shell is a piece of shit
>Do the animations work smoothly yet?
No, see above
>Is it still capped to 60fps on Wayland?
It isn't even stable, it crashes and lags
In other words it's shit
>And most importantly, what features did they remove this version?
Desktop icons are gone

library authors should now status icons are Windows 98 legacy and stop using them.

Simply untrue.

That was not a productive comment, user.

that's how the real world works user

>new windows release
>driver authors must release compatible drivers

>new de release
>program authors must release compatible programs

same thing
I hate the mindset so much that de's and os's must be compatible with everything all the time
this halts forward development
the same shit with kde and wayland with "we won't implement EGL in kwin unless nvidia does it for us" stupid mindset
a devs job is to make things work, not to have a "distinct unique special snowflake look at me please" opinion
it should JUST WORK without "oh we won't ship the only working drivers with our distro because it's non-free boo-hoo please fuck me in the ass oh you don't have wifi? too bad! should have thunk of that before sucker, now suck my cock"

does it work? good
it doesn't? then fix it. no excuses.

Just looking at the screenshot smells like feet.

>2005
Oh shill, you are pathetic
Is is the truth, less and less aplications are not using status icons anymore, they are legacy,

Oh yeah just let people guess total CPU usage

How do GNOME devs keep fucking up? Let's just make it all simplistic and streamlined as fuck. Who needs options? Who needs information? Fuck you. Just grab this gigantic fucking title bar and put some stupid buttons there. People bitched and bitched for years on end about Windows 8.1 looking like fisher price. This looks just as fucking dumb with all the lack of usability and simplification.

The issue is main distros like ubuntu and fedora liking the gnome's asshole like fucking whores.

>People bitched and bitched for years on end about Windows 8.1 looking like fisher price
literally noone said that win8.1 looked like fisher price
winxp did, but not win8.1

No, it's actually much worse.

You're a good man, user. The mentality you describe is a cancer in all aspects of life these days.The petty in-fighting needs to stop, and people need to come back to reality. I see very little actual progress in Linux lately and a whole lot of people breaking shit just to be cunts.

whos fucking idea was that sidebar with that gigantic wasted space

They should change the logo to a cute teenage schoolgirl's foot. I like the idea of the star/favourite thingymajig in the file manager.

gnome needs to learn a few things from budgie

Because gnome wants to be the only DE around, so no amount of collaboration between the other DE devs is getting through to them (they close all PRs, refuse all suggestions, implement features to make other DEs work worse with gnome programs, and refuse to document important functions they use, which they also change every minor version). It's literally the systemd of DEs. Not a coincidence since it's owned by the same people.
