Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?

I see you’re upset people don’t like gnome.

I don’t care what people like, I don’t like people shitting on open source projects and dividing the community.

Right.

You don’t like that people don’t like gnome. You care about what they like.

I, personally, think when we love something we want it to be the best it can be. Gnome devs seem to just be red hat employees who don’t actually care about making a good DE, just doing the easiest work while [WONTFIX]ing anything that takes actual effort.

You don’t even talk with gnome devs. You talk with red hat. They’re employees first for a company owned by IBM.

But Gnome is a great DE, I’ve used it as a daily driver for personal and at work for many years. I can’t say I have any major complaints. What’s so terrible about Gnome?

Splitting the community? Who cares, it doesn’t matter anyways.

I care, and so do many others, it happens to some with empathy when they grow out of their preteen years.

If we divided Gnome right out of the open source community, we wouldn’t have lost much.

It’d be a massive loss. The best DE would be gone.

If we lost the open source community will have gained.

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.
