Cet article est aussi disponible en français. This article contains quite a few technical terms, which I will explain these in the following paragraphs, those that are already familiar with these terms may skip to the next section. A basic understanding of linux and it’s desktop environments is assumed. Server side decorations (SSD) is the term for when when the application’s titlebar is drawn by the system and client side decorations (CSD) is the term for when the applications draws it’s own titlebar. KDE prefers the former, while GNOME prefers the latter. KDE and most other desktop environments supports both, while GNOME only supports CSD.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/57302675

an article explaining why GNOME should support SSD, but also arguing against the reasons often given for why they shouldn’t

If someone could repost this to r/GNOME I would appreciate it, since I don’t have a reddit account.

        “im bothered by the aeshetics of a ui” is kinda an infantile opinion.

        you hear that gnome designers? your designs bother borari and the op i originally responded to. It displeases them. Your designs are for babies, not adults with jobs. Baby ui designs.

        They empathetic towards your labor and efforts though! They want to really say they appreciate the effort you made going into fisher price, unaesthetically pleasing, bothering user interface design choices.

        ^ the words of an empathetic human being? thats for you decide lemmy

          lol ok, wow that’s a lot. You do realize that opinions are subjective right? Nowhere did I call gnome bad, I just said what its design language reminded me of and that I personally don’t like it. I’m happy that people like it. Im happy it exits and I’m happy that people have choices. I just don’t vibe with it at all. That’s fine, I don’t have to like the things you like. You don’t have to like the things I like. I’d bet money if I was slagging Windows 8 Metro you’d be totally fine with it though.

          I’m not really sure where the aggressiveness I’m feeling in your response is coming from, but I kind of doubt it’s driven solely by my opinions about a DE.

            they are literally volunteers. calling it fisher price and publically boasting how bothered you are by it is lacking empathy towards the humans and their involvement. that is what you said. Why? Literally keep crying about it like the sad internet linux loser you portray or help them. Set people up for success, don’t be the useless online edgelord

            you should volunteer for one thing in your life please. Improve the world around you. Reach out with empathy towards your volunteering neighbors, if it isnt so hard? touch grass, as the youths say
