@sophia He also got kicked out of FSF! But they didn't made any statement about his actions... which is completely unsurprising sadly.

GNOME 3.34 Flatpak Runtimes available on Flathub 🎉 🎉 🎉

@yngmar Multi billion dollar companies managing to do something doesn't mean its 'figured out' or 'easy'

Debian 10 was released and it defaults to a GNOME Wayland session 🎉 🎉 🎉.

Kinda annoying thought that it packages a year old release of GNOME (3.30) that's not supported anymore :(

@bugaevc I am gonna wait till you port whatever runs on it to a haiku kernel and wayland

@alcinnz Exactly, its insane to expect Geary to integrate perfectly with Plasma for example.

This is what happens when you rely on downstreams to package things...

This is just broken, and worse all, its promoted in the pkg catalogue in gnome-software just cause it exists in the fedora repo.

This is absolutely not the app's fault. Its downstreams that value "availability" over UX and catering their software catalogue to their actual system.

Packaging apps that were never meant to run on this system is just breaking the apps and their brand for no good fucking reason...

"Looking ahead, I'd love to see a foundation bring together the Linux desktop community and have them hammer out out a common desktop for everyone."

What about the GNOME or KDE foundations? or do those not count? What about the elementary folks doing an excellent job at designing their OS and ecosystem?

LINUX ISN'T THE FUCKING PLATFORM... Stop treating desktops environments as pluggable modules that you should be able to hotswap without that having an effect in functionality of your machine.

Your weekly reminder that Linux is just a fucking kernel and what you call "Linux Desktop" never existed...

You can't define whole platforms and ecosystems and operating systems just by the kernel they are using.

Same reason why it doesn't matter a bit if android, really pixelos, is running on top of the linux kernel.

@bugaevc If he calls out unsafe C during review, does this mean that he is the one who wrote all these bugs?

@cassidyjames 1. OPEN TERMINAL AND ADD PPA WITH AWESOME THEME AND ICONS

2. INSTALL TWEAKS TOOLS AND ENABLE MINIMIZE AND MAXIMIZE

3. INSTALL AWESOME EXTENSIONS THAT ARE UNMAINTAINED AND CRASH IF ITS THURSDAY AND MAKE THE SHELL LOOK LIKE $DIFFERENT_DESKTOP

4. COMPLAIN THAT GNOME IS BROKEN, CRASHES, AND LACKS BASIC THINGS

Repeat after me,

App store reviews are not bug reports...

@tbernard The most problematic part imo, is that they believe they are a platform themselves. And if you look for example at ubuntu, they *really* do try to be one even though they don't have virtually any guidelines what so ever.

If you happen to use the Flatpak Rust Sdk extension, please avoid updating till tomorrow. We updated to LLVM7 and things are somewhat broken currently

@cassidyjames Platforms variants, I see you Samsung, should also stop implementing their own sets.

I can accept MS, apple, and google having their own set of emojis but Samsung, facebook and everyone that pretends to be a platform should be banned from theming such crap

@timapple @tbernard That won't be the case. The OS would be just an OStree image of the Buildstream project that's used to already manage the releases and build the GNOME runtime/sdk. And thanks to Flatpak you won't miss out on content/apps either.

Essentially apps that target the GNOME flatpak runtime are already targeting the GNOME OS base.
