The History Of GNOME 

same

Same... Didn't expect it, but It's wayyy more productive..

Yep, GNOME is great to use on touch screens, but what do you mean with Linux not having good touch screen support?

@lenni-builder Linux treats the touchscreen like a second mouse and not an actual touchscreen. It's very clunky to say the least but gnome is still a great environment with it regardless.

I can't use Gnome it doesn't even have a basic feature of remembering windows position after closing. That alone is a deal breaker for me. I guess if you're using a laptop or touch device Gnome would be better. It is not good on large displays with more screen real-estate.

@@gardenstateboss honestly I use it on my 43 inch 4k TV. I see where you're coming from but that can be fixed by playing with the scaling settings. All of my displays are high DPI displays and gnome works beautifully with them. Honestly for me I like being able to tap the super key and seeing everything thats open. The workflow is just really smooth and seamless. My 2 favorite desktop environments is gnome and hyprland but the deal breaker for hyprland is that my main display is 144hz and its not straightforward capping it at 60 like in gnome. I have to cap it at 60hz because it will start randomly flickering if the refresh rate is higher.

2:51 "for example you can see the applications menu" no i can't D:

Noted!

Thanks for the feedback. I will keep it in mind for next videos!

Agreed...

yes

Would love this. Seems like no one wants to port Rhythmbox to GTK4, so I'd love to learn how to do that.

I think gtk4 with python would be so cool. There are just some old tutorials and none of them cover the basics, they assume you know everything upfront.

me too

Thanks!

Thank you!

his = its

I like xfce she is better!

Even though I don't use the System Tray, you pretty much summarized my thoughts about GNOME too. I'm currently more excited for Cosmic. I've tried it and it is really promising.

you know you made a bad take when the guy who hearts every single comment doesn't heart yours

@@numbertumbers529 look again :v

That philosophy is what enables GNOME to be so polished, though. It really depends on whether you actually *need* all those options or not

It's definitely a trade-off. I enjoy the simplicity and design, but I still install extensions for dash to panel and clipboard.

@@gljames24 'simple' design with 'complex' features :B

Yes. Thank you for the feedback. I will do that for the next video!

Thank you for watching it!

I think it uses Budgie, that takes some GNOME components

@@byteseb Thank you ^^

I think you have to install PostmarketOS on a supported device

Sure! But what would you want me to do exactly?

@@byteseb Nice video, dude. But the voice quality sucks. Get a better mic or fix your audio settings. And use some noise cancellation software or app to filter out the background noise. feels like the voice is too punchy if that makes any sense.

I'd like a video like that too.

I'm of the opposite opinion. Despite the fact that many people say KDE is better for customization. Gnome extensions are honestly so much more powerful and easy to use than the spaghetti of features on KDE. It's much easier to add to Gnome than it is to remove from KDE to get the UX I want.

@@gljames24 Nah. I used GNOME for years, and I always found extensions to be extremely buggy. Plasma has a lot of options, but it's not that hard to use. Every extension for GNOME just adds functionality that is already built into Plasma out of the box. Once you set it up all you need to do is back up your .config files to instantly return to the way you want on a reinstall.

Also, the single biggest problem with extensions is that they break on updates and it's endlessly frustrating. Why use GNOME with tons of third party extensions that introduce all sorts of issues just to get it functional for me when I can just use KDE and easily set it up any way I want with no extensions necessary?

@@Rac3r4Life is waiting for the extensions to be updated before updating your desktop environment that hard?

@@gljames24 kde is not only customizeble it has alot of powerful tools built in

Glad you enjoyed

Hi! Nice profile picture

Ok!

@@byteseb thankyou

😆 ya right.. bad camera man...

@@vaisakh_km Yes, I'm serious. Noticed the parts where he was talking about specific interface elements but he kept the zoom going in, hiding the interface elements he was talking about? Bad "camera man", "filming" the wrong things.

GNOME is already a complete desktop, even if the workflow doesn’t suit you personally

@@bragefuglseth3505 it’s not complete, it’s missing key features. Stop defending bad behavior.

@@cgwworldministries83 All the «key features» you have mentioned are implemented differently into GNOME’s workflow. It’s not for everyone, but it’s perfectly usable

@@bragefuglseth3505 no it’s not. There’s no desktop icons without hacks. There’s no dock on the desktop without hacks. It’s unusable for the majority of people. It needs to change.

@@cgwworldministries83 I don't enjoy desktop applications, but I do like the minimize button and dash to panel. It's easy enough to install tweaks and extensions, and while you could argue that those features should just be in gnome settings, it would be extra features to further support.

It is not tho, GNOME is spelled with a hard G, just as in GNU Not Unix.

Wrong.

G should be pronounced

It really doesn’t matter

@@rantzntirades1104 it matters i don't want garden gnomes in my desk :}
