Re: Exploring System76's New Rust Based Desktop Environment
#2I wanted to be able to move the applet bar to not the top of the screen, because I have two monitors and I like to spread vscode over two monitors -- top section for code, bottom section for console (for my purposes vscode console is, sadly, strictly better than the builtin linux console because it opportunistically makes IO output that references file:line clickable). I was able to do this in linux mint, but not in PopOS.

#3"There’s no visible distinction between the window title bar and the body of the window."
Strikes me as a bit amusing, as this was the case also in early versions of GNOME 3. I believe it was abandoned because non-GNOME apps (or more specifically, ones that didn't follow the GNOME HIG) had a visible distinction and greater consistency was desired. Changing GNOME's own look was the way to do so.

Or between what's clickable and what isn't.
(New dark pattern: popups which have an X box to dismiss them being harder to dismiss. First, the box around the X disappeared. Then, the X moves to different places in the box. (Bing does this for their house ads.) Then, the active portion of the X shrinks to make it harder to hit.)

#5Better to adopt Budgie and move it over to Rust if that's really where they want to go.

#6This is awesome! Very cool to see developer-first real modern desktop tooling being put together.

#7I think I would've tried Pop!_OS by now if not for the name - I know it is totally irrational, but having a ! in there really pisses me off.

#8I don't like Rust, but between Gnome's JS abortion lagfest and Rust, please, use the second.

Solus OS' BOFH got tired of Gnome and he will switch the entire stack in to Enlightenment. And inb4 "E17 and such have Gaudy theming", last E has a flatish theme, so something like Arc for E would be really easy to implement.

It's not just you.
I have trouble going near CockroachDB because of its name. It's absolutely unjustifiable from an engineering perspective, but the effect (for me, at least) is real.
