Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

What's wrong with gnome?

Literally the only foundation that made Linux usable, stable, unified and customizable.

Yeah it is barebones and extensions can't really fully supercustomize it, but it does its job pretty well.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Just as you mentioned, GNOME is not very welcoming to deep customization. You either use it the dev-intended way, or you don't use it at all.

If you like the default GNOME way of doing things, it's alright. If you don't - no amount of extensions will help.

And it all would be fine if GNOME wouldn't be the default on quite a few distros, including, most importantly, Ubuntu. New users come from Windows, hear the old advice to just "go Ubuntu" and meet an absolutely horrible and unintuitive experience unlike everything they ever touched. This alone made Linux some bad rep.

Barebones 🤣 🤣

Not even a little. GTFO. Flux is barebones, LXDE and LXQT, maybe XFCE but gnome? 😂 bloated DE for touchscreens
