For lack of community feedback look up Torvalds previous beef with them, them choosing to remove theming. If they finally listened I’m glad, but personally I’ve avoided gnome since their 2011-2013 GNOME 3 actions. I was trying to find a good series of links but I found this article that seems to sum it up well as of recent events.
GNOME Tweaks features are still a separate install.
Torvalds’ “beef” was since 2007 (nearly 20 years ago) and I think he just moved to KDE. Theres a common pattern where user complaints end up somehow becoming objective failures rather than personal preferences.
GNOME also never removed theming. They adopted a platform library for their apps. You can still apply themes to GNOME apps if you want them to match a specific color palette but the app itself isnt going to necessarily match the style of other applications.
If GNOME hadn’t created libadwaita (a platform library on top of GTK), then they would actually be doing what their critics claim and centralize gtk development to just suit GNOME since every feature gnome wants will just be written to gtk rather than separated into its own thing.
GNOME tweaks being separate is not an issue. Its just an app like everything else. GNOME extensions are also just apps. Ive not installed GNOME tweaks since recent versions and its also bundled with some operating systems like Debian (the only thing I really use it for is keyboard remapping for Emacs)
The attached blog is just a unhinged rant. Theres a graph that literally two lines of GNOME vs. “Other” and inappropriate comparisons of the Linux kernel project and the GNOME project which are two very different entities and I assume is only done so that the author can glaze torvalds for being a “chad” or something.
Theres no actual critiques of gnomes design besides pointing out already resolved inconsistencies and how GNOME 2 was so obviously better (it only was because people compared a completed product to a new design).
They could have kept GNOME 2 as a classic mode, and GNOME shell as a new alternative mode.
This literally exists its called GNOME flashback also the Cinnamon desktop. This person is an idiot and the reason why GNOME maintainers are abrasive now.
The fact is that GNOME is the most visible project, the most progressive project and the most successful project and so it attracts flies.
GNOME only knows three things: have a good idea, fuck it up, and ignore community feedback.
When has GNOME ignored community feedback or fucked up any idea?
