I felt like gnome has stagnated and become happy with how the desktop is. Nothing wrong with that of course but I don't expect to see any real innovation anymore...
They are fiddling with better dialogs while pop76 are building a desktop from scratch. :)
The world is waiting for apple to think of something cool and then copy it I guess. It's weird how it's so hard for everyone to come up with new concepts.
I don't really agree with that TBH. It improves every version, and there's a huge amount of background stuff going on right now for HDR, /home encryption, and creating an entire accessibility framework that will ultimately be picked up by other desktops.
Just because they're not throwing everything out and reinventing the wheel doesn't mean it's stagnated.
I don't really see how DEs are copying Apple, and I'm not really sure what new concepts you're wanting.
Depends on your perspective, I guess. To me, GNOME is now pretty mature, stable, and reliable. That is one of the reasons why I left Pop-shell for a more vanilla GNOME experience.
COSMIC has a lot of hype right now, but based on my experience (and others), it is not at all stable or ready as daily driver. That is not to say it isn't exciting but at this point in time I value stability and being able to just use my computer and GNOME provides that.
As the Linux luddites used to say, not all change is progress :)
