I used GNOME for close to 20 years, but finally dropped it with the release 40. I’ve had enough of them breaking features.

By that time KDE finally stabilized and it does everything I want, my way.

I don’t get it… Does this tiny change ruin it for you?

Having to create .desktop files in god knows where for me to be able to right click -> “open with” my program of choice sure pushed me away

I don’t even know what they were thinking not letting you beowse for any executable file on disk

Yeah same. There are some types of text file where gedit doesn’t even appear as an option. Like sometimes I don’t want to open .xml files in the browser.

I was able to set VScode for .xml files but not gedit. It’s not a huge deal but that one thing makes gnome feel like immature software.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
