    • KDE is the best if you want customize without editing yaml or xml or you just new to Linux
    • XFCE, LXDE, MATE, & CINNAMON are the best if you have very old system but still want to have some customization.
    • I3, SWAY, & OPENBOX are the best if you feel need little bit challenge to customize
    • NO GUI (CLI) is the best if you feel DE is bloat or systemd is bloat or wanna feel like Hollywood movie hackers

    What are the icons for?

    I know gnome, and the 3 that have their name in the logo (xfce, sway, tty).

    I’m going back to Slackware. Can’t keep up with this shit any more.

    Honestly the lack of customizability is the least of my worries with Gnome.

    Why the FUCK doesn’t it have a SYSTEM TRAY without an extension?

    Like it’s one thing to be minimalistic and opinionated.

    It’s another thing entirely to opt out of basic system functionality that has been part of every OS since 1997. Like fuck.

    Edit: Also how fun that this is how I find out Hyprland is cooked due to internet drama and 4chan bullshit.

        “Is cooked”, meaning “Is in trouble” or “Is in some shit”.

        Hyprland’s dev got themselves into some internet fight because they associated themselves with a transphobe and Freedesktop people decided this was enough.

          You’d imagine freeDesktop devs to be more mature about something like that compared to a young adult, and end up being wrong and unsurprised

            Eh, I’ll be honest. Having read the posts here (from both Vaxry AND Freedesktop) about the subject:

            It does seem like Vaxry is just a well-meaning software dev caught up in shit he didn’t ask for. He wasn’t the person who made the comment for one thing.

            But also I kinda get Freedesktop’s angle here, being a queer person myself. I’ve seen communities I previously cared about get ship-of-theseused into places that are deeply unwelcoming to people like me due to brushing off this kind of ‘joke’. You give the -phobes an inch they WILL take the entire road.

              In my opinion everyone needs to be very private online, so i cant really relate.

              But kinda see what you mean

                [tongue click]

                In another universe where things are entirely different, I might agree to the ‘people should be very private online’. Fuck, I’d even extend it to real life?

                But we don’t live in that other universe, and in the universe we currently live, obnoxious behaviour from The Straights ™ isn’t considered obnoxious by 90% of society, whereas even the smallest bit of expression from a GSM person is seen as extravagant and explicit. Straight people can take advantage of the standard of ‘people should be private’ because their expression isn’t considered unprivate by most and the opposite isn’t true for us.

                So $&*# that. I’ll be as loudly gay as I can be.

    imagine being so uncustomizable that you’re customizable

    Isn’t really a good argument, even though this is silly

      Extensions are not equivalent to native customization, and both have pros and cons. On one hand, extensions provide a variety of features that can be added specific to people’s likings, but on the other hand, there are chances of incompatibility (in gnome shells for example) and delayed maintenance from developers (which results in having to wait for them to finish the work when dependency updates)
