so they’re the stubborn ones who keep wanting to make gnome different for difference’s sake?
Firstly, no? What about my comment made you think that? They’re basically the legal and operations portion of the project. They don’t have an input on development, at all.
Secondly, it’s not different for the sake of being different, it’s different because it’s a damn good UX, freed from the shackles of tying yourself to the early 90s WinUX paradigm.
If you like Windows UX, then great. You have plenty of options and Gnome not catering to you doesn’t hurt you.
If so, good riddance.
What do you mean? They’re not going away. They’ll easily be able to get more funding, and it’s extremely unusual for an operation like this to not be running a small deficit. In fact if they’re constantly running a surplus I’d find it questionable.
Maybe gnome can start working on becoming my de of choice again
Gnome is the most popular DE. They don’t need you and won’t be trying to win you over. They have bigger fish to fry than throwing out everything and making another WinUX clone to keep a Lemmy user (who probably still wouldn’t use Gnome anyway) happy.
