  • Let’s put things into perspective, it’s a biyearly notification that sustains the entire gnome ecosystem, I’ll remind you that the GNOME foundation pays for the hosting costs, the paperwork and sometimes even development for the GNOME project that includes dozens of apps, libraries and GTK.

    This is just the first implementation that will get ironed out in the next few years, like making sure it doesn’t pop up in full screen windows and if you read through the issue there will also be an opt out in the settings.











  • 2015… I was there back then, and let me tell you, the distribution landscape is very different. You don’t have to rely on package managers to get your apps anymore because flatpaks and appimages are ubiquitous. Games went from having maybe a 50% chance to run with opengl to 98% running with vulkan ootb. Desktop environments have improved across the board with stuff like wayland and plenty of other good shit. And finally, linux itself has gotten much better hardware support. Seriously, you’re doing yourself and everyone else a disservice by using 2015 as a comparison point.
