If you look at the source of gnome shell extensions and themes you'll find that they use JavaScript and CSS. If you spend enough effort you can make gnome look completely different.
When Ubuntu dropped the hammer on Gnome2, I saw Unity desktop and was kinda... ewwww. And next I have installed Gnome 3. After 15 minutes with it I decided that Unity is actually not that bad , so I switched to it. In the following years Unity kinda grew on me, so I'm sad that it was axed and now everyone use this Gnome3 abomination. It is not as bad as it was five years before, but loss of top menu and general prefe…
Unity had its own problems, mostly related to trying to be Mac OSX without being Mac OSX: - Breaking alt-tab - Moving window controls
Full disclosure: I'm a former EM for the Unity dev team. I have heard more mindless opinion disguised as fact than you can possibly imagine.
Honest question, why is it that whenever any party tries making a new DE/WM it always turns out to be a GNOME derivative? Unity, Cinnamon, Budgie, Pantheon, MATE.. and now COSMIC. Why not choose something else like KDE or XFCE to fork?
Because mostly KDE and XFCE are very customisable with few configuration files doesn't require creating whole new DE
Wonder if the file picker will have image thumbnails.
current pop_os has image 'previews' in a sidebar as you select images, which isn't the same as a thumbnail but accomplishes much the same purpose
I wish they had a laptop with a latest and top AMD, 14" 4K IPS matte panel, programmers friendly keyboard (pg up/down home end on dedicated keys at least), expandable RAM and nvme drive, silent fans and metal chassis and a Linux support. Less important physical camera and wi-fi cut off switch. If there was an ARM chip with comparable performance to M1 I would consider it too if it was running Linux. After watching th…
Note the latest AMD 5850U chip is 40% faster [1] than the M1 for the same wattage! It really deserves more media exposure than the M1 which has the only merit of beating Intel. [1] https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+7+PRO+585...

Drop the 4K IPS for a 2560x1440 panel instead.
I bought an Acer at the tail end of last year because I need color accuracy (and couldn't get my hands on high-end HP or Dell or Lenovo in Thailand because markets).
Now the last piece is getting big enough to develop custom bare-bones for their laptops. I hope they can pull that off.

The search for text -> tab to highlight more of a search result -> the highlighted text is already copied to the clipboard automatically workflow was such a game changer for me, it’s so snappy. Could probably be configured on other terminals?
Konsole has all of that
