@cassidy I'll consider befriending Gnome when it lets me use a password manager. Currently pinentry-gnome3 is desktop-modal, so whenever I want to switch to my password manager, the whole screen is locked by the password entry dialog and I can't do anything. The "experience" is shit.

(There is an open bug for this issue, but no one has looked at it in years.)

@cassidy@blaede.family@siosm@floss.social Some of the negative responses to this. Wow! I’m a KDE Plasma user primarily but I’m also chewing up Flathub’s bandwidth and using a bunch of GTK apps so you can have some of my money. 🙂

@cassidy The way GNOME does theming hindering with GTK4 Libadwaita is just doing harm for Linux. Users using distros will wonder why their themes are all wonky and that's because GNOME's devs thinking that everyone should be same as they are. Also GNOME devs did a lot of hindering with Wayland adoption. It's no wonder that their funding has plummeted cause they mostly seem to do more harm to Linux than good.

@cassidy

Donate to Gnome, NEVER WILL.

Ever heard of IBM RHEl and the gnome Foundation, let them fund the lumbering memory hogging monstrosity they created.

I tried Gnome once, the experience was interesting, customizing made as difficult as possible.

Over 1 GB of memory usage on a blank desktop. Ever heard of efficiency.

@cassidy Very happy to support GNOME. It's become my favorite Desktop and is incredibly reliable.

@cassidy Exactly! 💯%
(I'm a friend of GNOME)

@cassidy Or, for the love of god, support absolutely anything else!

Because the Linux Hegemony is fucking terrible.

Linux is NOT the only alternative to the Microsoft and Apple defaults.

@cassidy I'm happy to say that I don't use gnome and never have. :)

but good luck to any of you who is or have used it.

@cassidy I do wish Flathub was separate so we could donate directly.
