People have deserted whole projects over telemetry. Audacity comes to mind. Telemetry is obviously not popular with people who are already sacrificing so much over privacy.
There's no point in trying to sway linux users in favor of telemetry, because most of us already know it's only a privacy risk and doesn't do much. Does Gnome really listen to its users feedback anyway? If yes, why is there still no typeahead in Nautilus despite constant user feedback? Why is there still no way to have a dash to dock without extensions?
Opt-out is not a solution because you're asking people to scrub every package and figure out how to opt out. It's time consuming and must be done with every fresh install.
A good example of the uselessness of telemetry is Firefox. They keep removing features used by advanced users in Firefox because Mozilla thinks those features aren't used a lot. Turns out, most advanced users of firefox don't enable telemetry because they seek privacy from their browser.
Everything I use outside of gnome puts the back button in a common spot in the top-left corner of the given window. Why fix what isn't broken? That's gonna drive me nuts.
There are other submitted Merge Requests to that gnome-session GitLab repository that are 3 years old and are still open. This is only a proposal, and doesn't actually mean it's happening.
If GNOME developers want to focus on expanding Wayland support instead of maintaining X11 support, surely that's their choice - they're mostly volunteers anyway, shouldn't they get to decide what they want to work on?
If other developers still want X11 support, they can branch these session targets and X11 support code off into a separate package and handle maintaining it.
Another language bindings mean more people will try to code gnome. Typescript is strongly typed language so more errors and bugs can be detected during compile phase.
Wow!!! When I tried it a few months ago on my OP6 it wasn't nearly as smooth as this. In the replies of the linked post there is a link to a patch that adds better scheduling for the UI from 2 months ago. So cool to see it is now smooth enough to be used
Apple devices just works. Android devices just works. I just want my shit to work, so I can spend more time focusing on fun stuff like fixing Home Assistant when it shits the bed.
I have learned about the existence of system services with this post, it seems pretty great. However my question is: would this allow flatpak apps that require a systemd service to run to be installed by 1 package? I am thinking of VPN apps for example
It is nice to see improvements to the file chooser, but why do buttons look so different from all other buttons in Gnome? What was wrong with the less rounded buttons?
