Both are great projects really, and big projects at that - big stacks, lots of moving parts.

Whereas GNOME tries to be more uniform, Plasma tries to be more bespoke.

I don’t care which one you use, really. I just love GNOME design principles and it’s desktop paradigm.

Is GNOME a perfect project? No. But when these troglodytes crawl out of their discord servers, I just can’t help but be infuriated by their pure malice and ignorance.

So fuck em. I’m done with this thread.

You have a nice day now, y’hear?

“16 years of paving the way for Plasma”.

There, fixed that for you.

Huh, I guess you’re getting to them then with your massive winging. Guess you’ll get your Rube Goldberg desktop you want and still complain.

“most very useful”.

List. Tell me which ones.

No, I’m sorry. Zionists gotta project everywhere, now that people in the mainstream are aware of what’s truly happening.

Oh noes! Design spec?!? :( STANDARDS AND ETHICS?!?! No! I Want you to install my halfass, broken solution instead of waiting for a proper solution to come along! I’m such a special boy and know coding better than you! HOW DARE YOU HAVE PLANS!! /s

Like some of you are buffoons and need to go use something like Plasma instead. I love Plasma, not pushing that down, it’s just that if you don’t know the modus operandi of GNOME in 2024 already, you might as well give up trying.

At the very least give up complaining. You wouldn’t have Wayland if it weren’t for WONTFIX, ya daft cunts.

Si. We’re about to see how the iron dome stands against it. Maybe Iran has figured out a way to bypass Israeli defences…

Funny how a bunch of non-governmental institutions uphold colonialism and anyone who wants to partake has to play ball… it’s like as if there’s an empire, an empire with flags from China, workers from Mexico and intellectual property made by Indians… but I can’t quite put my hamburger on it…

I’ve had nothing but good experiences with Flatpaks/Flathub and bad experiences with AUR/nixpkgs.

Fedora also has it’s own Flatpak repo now with it’s own runtime.

…well of course it’s beneficial to their product, and a detriment against everyone else, which is why I called it a conflict of interest.

Either that, or you used the wrong word. Care to elaborate?

The logic is a little problematic, because it also means you mislead ordinary users, and honestly the infosec industry has a conflict of interest as well.

In my day, son, a WYSIWYG spat out HTML and CSS. It was up to you to integrate it.

Did you read the new features? CSS and HTML component testing, complete with web scalability (I.e media-query). Sounds very WYSIWYG to me.

But yeah, I know it’s an open source Figma, because Figma can ligma balls.

Is… is this the comeback of WYSIWYGs?

haha also nix… because I horde dependencies.

“Oh no, real competiton, in green energy no less!”

Bitch, are you for real?

haha but using a FLOSS system is… change my mind.

This is my problem, perhaps not with nixpkgs, but nixpkgs:nixos-stableunstable. Throughout history the call to fame for distribution is not all the fancy bells and whistles, but the cohesiveness and stability of the stack - the entire stack.

I’m not saying this is a flaw of nixpkgs, but rather a fair amount of technical debt on the of part NixOS maintainers and developers. It’s a vast movable system of modules, while being immutable at the same time. It ain’t easy. So more contribution is needed.

I’m happy that people join and help with that. I’ll still use NixOS and nixpkgs for embedded, specialised cases, even as servers, but I’m not going to run it on a workstation. But, I’m hopeful for the future. I’d like to run it, but not yet.

It’s not really necessary anyways, nix can run on any system… now onto my adventures of bringing nix to an immutable Fedora system without a container or VM lol

Me: *declares an app*\

nixpkgs: Oh what’s that, you wanted an entire extra desktop stack inside a separate closure? Yes, sir!

Me: plz no

The missing critical feature was their a walled garden.
