    Am I in any way even asking people to stop using Gnome? I’m certainly not trying to prevent it either. IMO their actions when designing Gnome Shell were detrimental to Linux, you are 100% free to disagree.

      No, but people are downvoting you because you’re just whining about your own personal feelings about it, and nobody cares about your sniveling wahwah words.

        What nonsense to spew, the fact that Gnome broke standards between Linux desktops was a huge issue among developers, just because you are too ignorant to know, doesn’t make it “my personal feelings”. The harm was very real, and could be seen widely in many areas, and most significantly on the fact that Linux actually lost users. Where it had been slowly gaining for years before.

          Geez, it’s almost like there are no alternatives, forks, or other mainline development branches that didn’t do that. Oh, wait a second…

          Nobody is forcing you to use GMOME, and they as a community can do whatever they want. You are free to fork and use whatever version you like, or not at all. The beauty of open-source.
