The main reason Valve doesn’t step in is because it would cost them money. Moderating content is expensive as hell and these corporations will bend themselves backwards finding any and every way to avoid it.

but just by itself this comment is basically a marketing post.

We’re 3 comments deep in a 20 hour old topic, nobody but us will be reading this.

KDE also has outreach programs

I’m curious, do you have any links?

KDE is relatively smaller in scope than GNOME. Besides, GNOME has taken on its own hurdles like compatibility across devices, the userbase is also different so they’re less likely to contribute towards areas like gaming for example.

What lets GNOME dominate developer wise right now are adwaita and the language barrier - KDE is mostly c++, whereas in GNOME you’ll find a mix of languages and outreach programs like GNOME circle.

You gotta load up Gnome with hundreds of extension

You don’t have to though? I use vanilla GNOME. Customization is never free, if you aren’t using it it’s just bloat and the more you add the more it slows down development.

KDE is following GNOME in dropping x11 support in early 2027. The only solution if you want to still use x11 going forward is to get a LTS like ubuntu and bunker up for the next 10 years.

Wine has been able to run on wayland for a while now, though upstream wine uses a different wayland pipeline than proton-ge that uses em10/wine-wayland.

Ubuntu’s GNOME is quite different from the vanilla GNOME you’ll find in fedora.

Some businesses did in fact do just that.

Extensions can crash your system on GNOME as they modify the shell itself, so running incompatible extensions is a real problem. The upside to this is that when you find an extension and it has your version on it, it’s guaranteed to run. Fyi you can easilly override the version requirements.

GNOME major upgrades (v48, v49…) always break extensions by design to force the extension maintainers to update. It’s generally recommended to hold off on upgrading for a few weeks to give maintainers time to update their extensions.

It’s against their interest to offer this as they have everything to gain by making you install their proprietary application and capturing you inside their ecosystem where they don’t have to compete fairly. Would Steam be in the position it’s in if you didn’t have to install it to download your games?

GNOME’s always been customizable with gsettings and extensions, the problem is that the options aren’t exposed in the user settings and in the case of the extensions they are only available through third party software. The upside to this is that the desktop environment is leaner which allows faster development and generally less bugs.

Why unfortunately? GNOME puts a lot of work in accessibility and being viable on every device.

For mbin: fedia.io##article:has(header:has(h2:has-text(/trump/i))) if you want case sensitivity drop the i: fedia.io##article:has(header:has(h2:has-text(/ICE/)))

How bad can it be? It’s just GNOME with a few extensions to make it look like windows.

As I explained elsewhere there is no official app to change this setting

You’re skipping a step here, first a decision needs to be made on whether or not the default will change, then and only then can they decide whether it’s worth adding something like a toggle to the mouse settings panel, which would be trivial btw.

Steam reviews aren’t really a good quality metric, a 6/10 game can have 95% ratings, it’s the rotten tomatoes of video games.

You could always read the original source and find out the intent, but who has time for that?
