Original Nautilus and early GNOME developer here. I am very out of touch with what is current, so excuse some possibly ignorant questions. How is this a Rust-based environment if it is based on GTK? I assume GTK is still essentially the C-based GTK we used with some improvements. Why is this called Rust-based? I’ll do some more research but would like to get some insight from more knowledgeable sources.
Sarcasm aside, it does look pretty good. But between indistinguishable window title bars and yet another settings app (wanna bet it will miss some config so users wil still need to run one of the others?), I think I'll pass. As far as I'm concerned this problem was solved ages ago, so I simply don't understand why the designers keep mucking with it. Maybe I'm just getting old. :-/
It just... Doesn't do anything my custom openbox or i3 setups in the past didn't do (imo better). Nor is it better at being gnome than gnome.
And now that i'm getting old and gotten used to stock gnome it just seems like it makes me change my workflow again for no good reason.
I 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.
My coworkers joke about me using a OS called Pop. I don't mind it, I even like it, but I have to admit that Pop it's a very ugly name.

GTK4? It seems like Rust based UI toolkit is still missing. I like the idea of using Rust for the DE, but personally I'd stick with KDE.

Wasn't the whole point of the project to emancipate themselves from GNOME? If they rely on GTK they will fail.
(Searching around, I see a lot of people don't get it, they say that Year of Linux on the Desktop has happened. It hasn't yet and some think it never will.)
They just make boutique computers computing against the like of Dell/Lenovo when it comes to Linux friendly computers.
How many sales do they do per year to justify this direction
