GNOME June 2024: C'mon you can do better
  • I hope they continue learning lessons from other OSes.

    I'm feeling like you are wrong about them outright copying. Some good things can be taken from macOS and Windows. But a lot of bad things too, which is why they are thinking it through.

    Please do not reduce the community effort to "cloning macOS". It's insulting to the people working on it... Apple doesn't own modals or modal design.

    Here there are not 20 ways of putting 3 buttons in a modal. They just happen to choose a way that will also work on mobile I guess.

    Kudos for noticing this extra space which could enhance these kind of modals though.

    I don't like everything Gnome has been doing, especially with the lack of customization or the status bar. But Gnome has been my go to for 7+ years and I like where it is going. Extensions are pretty fly too 👌

  • Why does Gboard feel more fluid than Heliboard?
  • Heliboard also has weird bugs such as scrubbing through text with the space not working sometimes, even duplicating letters at times. But overall it works great.

    To answer your question with another question: Heliboard isn't the same code base as GBoard, isn't it? Which means that it might have some kinks to iron out to feel more responsive.

  • Finally finished switching from Gnome to KDE Plasma
  • And much better gaming specs such as VRR, near complete HDR capabilities, ... Multi monitors are better supported, more customization (albeit it's harder to configure and get to the point you want sometimes).

    It's not just color variants of the main interface 😇

    I'm thinking about switching as well for those reasons but I'm disappointed on the NixOS support of KDE. Gnome is configurable through dconf at least for a kinda NixOS way.

  • The Pixel Watch 2 convinced me never to buy a first-gen product - Android Central
  • If nobody buys the first generation then there is no second generation...

    But I might be coping. I'm a first generation owner. I don't see any reason why the second gen is better though (for my kind of usage).

    Incremental and yearly updates are often plain better in small ways though, so yeah. Easy to say in retrospective that "the previous is worse" 😅
