And because Gnome still lets every extension monkey-patch code right into the shell your whole desktop may crashes in the middle of your work. Especially if the extension devs aren't monitoring changes in Gnome 24/7.

Happened to me 3 times before I moved to KDE. Which I very much dislike in comparison, but it's just way more stable. Couldn't go without extensions in Gnome either because of the very smooth-brained decision to replace the tray icons with their own backend, so any app not supporting their way of doing it either disappears into the void or has their tray icon submenu inaccessible.

Ugh. I love the UI/UX of Gnome, but in terms of stability and compatibility they screwed up phenomenally.

That's why if you use a lot of extensions you don't run rolling release and don't update to your distros new version instantly

Edit: Because if you move fast, things are gonna break

I'm sure I'll get there, but it's all new to me right now, so the temptation to add a bunch of nonsense is real...

One day, after years of chipping away small, useless details, your interface will finally be a blank screen. Flawless.

Herbstluftwm or bspwm or i3.

Remove all the things.

I'm so close to removing X and using only a console, except

• Jami has no terminal app
• Inkscape
• Gimp
• No terminal web browser works for every site I need to visit
• The Factory Must Grow

Edit in which Sxan discovers þat double-vertical-bars in piefed comments turns inline text into "spoiler" text. Fixed.

I did install that one, and it's pretty fun. You can even change the color of the fire and the speed of the animation.

It's called "Burn my Windows", it has many many many effects other than the flame and it also works on KDE!

This was a mild pain. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, then I realized that the browser extension and tool worked flawlessly in Firefox, but not Brave.

They could have literally absorbed a couple of the most used plugins into the desktop and i'd be on Gnome today.

nope, you need to go find those plugins and we're going to make breaking changes constantly.

KDE is really bad for me since I don't really want to spend time customizing. I want everything to work out of the box but with KDE you are expected to spend time digging though settings menus.

this but hyprland :3

Wobbly windows turned down to a barely perceptible level is a really nice experience that doesn't feel like a gimmick

There are so many options! I have it on the original fire one (with the animation sped up), but I'm considering switching to the DOOM inspired one.

I have four outputs on my video card. It would be downright wasteful not to use them all.

fuuuucckkk I wish we had more websites designed like this again, this was so much better than the gigantic amount of padding, animations and other random ass elements just for a website that's bland as fuck that we have today.

This penguin maze is hilarious.

fwiw I use wayneko which works on Wayland and draws an animated cat that follows your cursor along the bottom of the screen. Not as chaotic as Xpenguins but it's cute!

This is the one I saw. It's Internet radio though.

Yes, many radio stations have online livestreams, so you can play radio from any device that can connect to the Internet and has an audio output. You can even play radio from your browser, there is a Firefox extension called Worldwide Radio.

Displaying the title of the currently playing media sounds useful!

I know lots of people love KDE. I haven't tried it yet. I just googled the difference when I was researching distros and chose GNOME because it looked more Mac-like, which is my preference.
