@vanitarium @openbsdnow Eager to try it. #gnome and #xfce already work pretty well and are usually up to date, but another major DE option is nice!

Watching my new linux system try to boot up is excruciating. I suspect it is going to be fine, since I got this far. Right?! 😨

Oh. My.
It's alive.
🎈 🎉 🥳

Thanks to everyone who gave me encouragement and guidance.

After scouring the internet for drivers or guides to drivers for my new used-to-be #windows11 now #linux #debian #gnome laptop, I decide to take a break and just explore the new desktop. I type the word 'printer' in the search, and am clearly informed that I need to go to exactly *that* spot, and type in my admin password. I do that. And there my printer is, all nice and ready to go.
This is so much easier than I thought it would be! I made things more difficult by assuming it would be more difficult 😂

@1ace well, from what i gathered in that (other?) mastodon thread, #gnome, #kde, and #sway all want to solve this problem the same way, so surely there's going to be some pointers... somewhere? :)

As a long time #Mac user, I prefer #gnome window management. #controversialYetBrave

Speaking of, someone need to desperately fork GDK so other #Linux UIs won't be slaves under the whims of the #Gnome devs.

Soon the most popular 'real' desktop will be the Linux desktop https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2023/08/04/linux_desktop_cloud_desktops/ #Linux #Gnome #Cinnamon #KDE

Už i v #Gnome si všimli, že tiling window manager je cesta? Ale že to trvalo! 🙂

I made a "make Debian Gnome more Ubuntuish" script for myself.
Maybe someone is interested in, there it is: https://git.la10cy.net/DeltaLima/Desktop-DeltaLima

Just hit the setup.sh twice, the second time after a good old reboot, and your Desktop looks like in the screenshot, with some extra programs I like to have on my systems (easy to customize with includes/packages.inc.sh).

Flatpak with flathub.org gets installed, Firefox from there as well as default browser for the running user.

the day that fractional display scaling becomes functional in #GNOME/#GTK is the day world peace arrives

@forteller @cslinuxboy Personally, i'm really glad that #GNOME exists. It exemplifies just how fabbo #KDEPlasma truly is!

Kde jsou ty doby, kdy nové #gnome nejdřív dorazilo na #archlinux :arch:

Tak jsem si do #GNOME doinstaloval Pop Shell extension a Space Bar extension a dám tomu šanci. Sice mi to přijde pořád takový konstrbatý, ale na laptopu s jednou obrazovkou se to snad bude ovládat lépe. Na touchpad si prostě nikdy nezvyknu, klávesové zkratky jsou klávesové zkratky. On v GNOME dokonce defaultně funguje při scrollování obráceně než při scrollování myší, tedy když scrollujete dolů, obrazovka jde nahoru. Brr!

Hmm, kombinace #GNOME a tiling window managera? Momentálně používám #i3, ale jestli se najde něco, co zkombinuje to nejlepší z obou, určitě vyzkouším. Například já rád využívam vlastnosti tiling wm, ale nechce se mi už si půl dne hrát s textovými konfiguracemi.

Look at this silliness #GNOME.

The documentation for writing any kind of #GNOME #extension is just atrocious. Like I get that you're basically reaching deep into the internals of the GNOME Shell to write them and so there isn't a totally stable API to even document, but there are plenty of components that actually are pretty stable (and are even admitted to be so by what docs that exist) and that are basically necessary to write an extension at all, and yet there's no documentation for them. I'm having to look deep into the Shell's JavaScript and even see code to even figure out what properties and methods these classes have and what things I can even talk to. Like I literally had to clone the entirety of the GNOME shell and their window manager / compositor Mutter and start poking around with ripgrep and VIM to even find out how to do basic things. The best excuse for documentation they have is a random blog post by someone named mathematical coffee from over a decade ago, and even that is just a sketchy outline of what tends to be in each source file.

Like how if things really do change enough that you feel like you can't document anything because it would just change, then just fucking run a documentation generator on your C and JavaScript code to at least pull out the classes and methods and properties that are available! That's like the bare minimum of effort and that would already be a huge step up. Throw in a few comments on the classes or methods to document what they do — and from what I've seen to a large extent they already have this — and you're golden!

It just seems really irresponsible to me to not document anything but the basic process of creating an extension project and basic skeleton and just leave it up to each new person who comes along to write an extension to completely reinvent the wheel as far as documentation and knowledge goes. Especially since the GNOME project seems to have a very substantial amount of manpower and time and funding. Even more especially since the usability of GNOME for a lot of people actually relies on those extensions and there's a huge and flourishing ecosystem of such extensions which often come installed by default on many #Linux distros.

#GNOME má úplně strašné chování přepínání workspaců, takže je fajn, že existuje něco jako toto.

Instaluji rozšíření do GNOME. Na Archi, takže samozřejmě z AURu a pak je hodinu hledám. V seznamu rozšíření totiž jsou vedená jako vestavěná, nikoli nainstalovaná uživatelem. Za trest stokrát napíši root není uživatel.

Ale jinak si GNOME stále užívám.

@unix_discussions Ich wünsche mir die anderen lieber. Wie das alte #Gnome matte #LXDE oder #XFCE. Ich bin heiß. Ich kann es kaum noch erwarten. Wann das #Fries endlich eröffnet wird. 😊 😍
