    >their thing is a waste of time This is incorrect. GNOME users would not consider it a waste of time, just like KDE users would not consider it a waste of time for someone to do wo…

    Yes, I would agree that a lot of GNOME developers still view that as a design goal. But not all do, and even so, having less configurability doesn't mean less features. If you ask …

    I completely disagree, I'm using GNOME on a laptop from 2008 now. It's working fine for me. I did tweak it a little bit however.

    Thank you for doing that, it's really fortunate that you are, but please understand that not all of your coworkers do the same thing. I think it would be nice if they did, but curr…

    I don't understand what you're trying to discourage, what you're saying doesn't follow. That has nothing to do with "the GNOME way" and is mostly related to the decisions made by C…

    I don't understand what the issue here is or what you want me to learn, those seem to all be bugs that were already fixed. If there are additional unfixed problems that others aren…

    The javascript is used mostly to drive the shell GUI, it shouldn't be taking seconds off all your mouse clicks. If there is really bad slowness, you should consider reporting that …

    Again I'm not sure where you got that, I have not heard any Red Hat or Fedora developers say that's the focus. In fact if you follow GNOME development, there are various other dire…

    I figured you would post that. I have heard no actual KDE developers saying that's a problem. They don't use Qt LTS. The "drama" there seems to be mostly confined to unrelated inte…

    Others may find that pushing towards server-side window decoration is annoying and imposing, so this is unfortunately an area where not everyone can be happy. In any case you may b…

    That's just my personal observation, I haven't seen many unfocused airings of grievances that ended in positive change. Sure there are knowledgeable people here, but they may not a…

    If you have something you want me to understand, please explain. I'm happy to listen to what you have to say. Like everyone else, I'm not perfect, sometimes I don't understand thin…

    I honestly haven't seen any real license drama about that for like 10 years now. Qt and GTK are (mostly) the same license. Also I really wouldn't say that C and C++ are equivalent …

    Sure, but that shouldn't really matter to an ordinary Fedora user, at least not to the ones I've heard from.

    I don't think that at all, I'm just another person giving my opinion, like you. Also, I don't understand why you said that, but then asked me to keep my opinions to myself.

    No, not at all. If you do ever use this and you develop an opinion on it, feel free to share.

    I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying or what the point of your bashing is. GNOME and KDE and XFCE and whatnot are not political parties and are not opposed to each othe…

    I'm not sure where you heard any of that, but I have never heard any Red Hat employees say anything to that effect, ever. Fedora still exists, and to me that seems perfectly fine t…

    I mean in cases where someone just copy and pastes something without making any effort to match the style, or in cases where they can't explain what a piece of code does or how the…

    Could you please explain specifically what one or more of these effects is? I may be able to offer suggestions on how to mitigate it. When I was talking about using something else …

    For me personally I find the endless "Linux desktop wars" to be disappointing. It doesn't matter, this stuff is open source, if you really want it to be fixed then just go write a …

    >According to you, I should not criticize software that does not meet my needs I have not said that, I just asked you for your specific criticisms.

    Can you elaborate? Is there something particular that you need that doesn't work on an RPi? If it turns out to be a small fix, then ultimately you may end up caring a lot less than…
