  • To be fair, I probably wouldn’t feel the need to care about GNOME at all were it not for the fact that it still the standard DE for large, newbie-facing distros. I still favour the Windows paradigm, and a lot other people do too, and it doesn’t really matter whether it’s familiarity or actually preferring it (which I genuinely do). I don’t really appreciate hearing the standard GNOME-user polemics about it, especially when both sides usually end up acknowledging that it’s personal preference. I’m not saying you’re using that argument out of bad faith, but it’s the kind of thing I see a lot and it really bothers me, because it is/would be rightly criticised were it the other way round.

    Point is, some people just genuinely don’t like GNOME, and it doesn’t have to be because of simplicity (Plasma is rarely referred to as simple), familiarity, or a hate-boner for GNOME or Mac.







  • Many non-US places (otherwise known as the rest of the world) have cheap wine, cheap food, and social benefits. Cigs though idk, you’d have to be insane to smoke in most developed countries because if the cancer doesn’t kill you, the prices will.
