No one is entitled to random free custom development work.

Meaning gnome devs themselves are not entitled to the free custom development work of the third party extension devs, and therefore gnome is actively taking advantage of the third party developers(Third-party developers feel undervalued & exploited, potentially leading to burnout and abandonment of projects) while all round making it harder for them to maintain the extensions(GNOME's decision not to provide a stable API for extensions makes it challenging for third-party developers to maintain their work across GNOME versions).
This is where KDE Community is different, they actively support, communicate, collaborate, etc. with 3rd party devs to build a strong relationship & a strong ecosystem.
In fact, Gnome devs are all around abrasive to the entire Linux ecosystem, including but not limited to the Wayland development team & the development teams of other desktop environments(GNOME's design decisions, such as only supporting CSD & lobbying Wayland to mandate CSD & the controversy over the accent color protocol, have led to conflicts with the entire Linux ecosystem), their own user base(GNOME's communication style is dismissive & unresponsive to community feedback), application developers(GNOME's decisions sometimes force other projects to adapt or create workarounds, as seen with the server-side decoration controversy, further complicating development efforts), third party developers, and even amongst themselves(There are reports of conflicts even within the GNOME development team, suggesting internal tensions).

Gnome will die the second Cosmic (Epoch) DE gets remotely close to 1:1 parity. It will be more stable, it'll be more feature complete & support modern features, it'll have a similar level of polish, a similar yet way more flexible design language and the devs will actively work with the Linux ecosystem & so on.
At that point the only people left over for Gnome, are those stuck on x11, and die hard shills/fanboys. Many developers are very much sick of Gnomes shit already and only put up with it because it's popular.

Basic functionality, as in Server Side Decorations(SSD) along with Client Side Decorations(CSD); features both users & application devs expect to be there. Gnome Wayland lacks SSD which is a big problem for devs that build applications without CSD, e.g. especially Game devs, and it even causes negative effects across the rest of Linux ecosystem. Literally everything; KDE Plasma, Weston, Windows, MacOS and so on have both SSD & CSD; that's how ubiquitously important this feature set is; delivering the best of both in a manner that gives developers flexibility while keeping consistency for the end user. In fact, Gnome not having both is damaging for accessibility (e.g. users with limited vision) across the Linux ecosystem as well.

Server Side Decorations Are Non-Negotiable

It's already going to be the default on one of the major distros at launch; Pop_OS! by System76. It'll grow in popularity pretty quickly.

Rustmilian , vor 6 Tagen (Bearbeitet vor 6 Tagen)

System76 is no stranger to desktop development nor Rust-lang. Their team is relatively large, skilled, diverse, and highly dedicated, with years of experience in high-level and low-level development, UX/UI design, and even an OS built from scratch (Redox OS), and so on. Unlike elementary OS's Pantheon, which builds upon existing frameworks like GTK & forked Gnome components, Cosmic (Epoch) is entirely written from scratch, toolkits and all. System76's approach is also more comprehensive and ambitious compared to elementary OS. They're developing native Rust applications like the COSMIC app store, terminal, screenshot tool, and text editor. Early performance tests show promising results, even in virtual environments.
The company's financial resources also allow for significant investment in COSMIC's development, supporting a dedicated team and a long-term vision. This contrasts with elementary OS's more gradual, community-driven growth.
Pop_OS! is also an already very popular distribution, and importantly popular amongst newbies. System76 is also a hardware vendor meaning they can tightly integrate Cosmic with their hardware, and in fact do so much more easily than what they've already been doing with Pop_OS!.
Compared to ElementaryOS, System76 is in a much better position.

AI bad

(Just want to be very transparent that this is AI, not original work by an artist that put time & effort into drawing it)

Furry :

• Has fur
• Is soft
• Is fluffy
• Has teeth
• Probably has gag reflex
• Starts with the letter F

Feathery

• Has feathers
• Is soft
• Is silky
• No has teeth
• No has gag reflex
• Starts with the letter F

You're right, Featheries are objectively WAY HOTTER!! /j

why is her eyes so separate

Because penguins are prey animals to leopard seals and killer whales.

And why her nose is painted with orange

Perhaps your right, her nose should be painted with black and her lips should have orange lipstick.

this art is annoying to look at

Wayland pretty much solves every single dual monitor issue. Only problem now is getting complete Nvidia support and patching out edge cases. I dual monitor all the time, and not just normal dual monitor either, the monitor count increases or decreases on a whim and not a single screen in use are the same. They all have different refresh rates, resolutions, orientations, vrr & hdr support, color ranges, etc. everything works as expected.

Rustmilian OP , vor einem Monat (Bearbeitet vor einem Monat)

Yeah. If that's not one of the first things IT did when they got hired, then you need a new IT. You seriously can't trust anyone to not plug a random USB into volatile infostructure.

Also, they could do it to prevent theft of their proprietary code and other things that you'd probably need to sign a NDA to even see in the first place.

KDE Plasma 6 has experimental HDR support. The HDR Wayland protocol isn't finished just yet. Here's a good source.

Rustmilian OP , vor einem Monat

There's a clear GUI option for this in KDE Plasma, no registry or terminal needed.

Rustmilian OP , vor einem Monat (Bearbeitet vor einem Monat)

hundreds of different distros

And out of those "hundreds" only a handful of them are actually popular and progressing innovation...

As someone who's distro hopped across a wide verity of distros, the fundamentals are more less the same across all of them. Just go with a popular distro with good documentation and you'll be fine. If you've learned enough from mint to feel comfortable tackling Arch Linux, then the documention (e.g. ArchWiki) will be your strongest asset.

Rustmilian OP , vor einem Monat

Luckily on KDE plasma this is just a GUI setting.

Rustmilian OP , vor einem Monat

That's why KDE Plasma just makes the searches shortcuts in a similar manner to the !bang feature of duckduckgo. Though it'd be nice if the used ! in the shortcuts alies by default. !ddg is just more reliable than ddg.

Rustmilian OP , vor einem Monat

Imagine being this unironically toxic... in a meme community.

Rustmilian OP , vor einem Monat

Why do that when you can just use a GUI?
KDE plasma 6 has a GUI setting for the equivalent feature.

Rustmilian OP , vor einem Monat (Bearbeitet vor einem Monat)

The registry is worse. They maliciously hide basic settings and leave you to figure it out without any documentation.
The terminal is actually consistent, Grub entries are consistent and have documentation, editing plain text is way better than manipulating binary data with a jank tool.
I guarantee that most Windows users, including the techy type, had no clue that the feature described in my post was even possible or existed. Point is, this is not a system level setting, it's a basic setting that can easily be done with a simple GUI checkbox/button/switch just as KDE plasma has done. Window's hiding it, not only inside the registry, but even hiding it from the registry as an unmarked option with 0 documention, is utterly ridiculous.

Rustmilian OP , vor einem Monat (Bearbeitet vor einem Monat)

Yes, it is functionally different. Because of man, -h/--help,tldr, documentation, consistency, etc.
The terminal is a consistent and predictable tool that you are given every needed resource to able to learn and use. To find out what a command does is easy and you don't need internet to do it. Plus, the terminal is way more versatile and extensible.
The entire point of the terminal is to empower the user and give a consistent interference to manipulate low-level and high-level settings, features and applications. While the entire point of the registry is to limit & obscure the accessibly of options Microsoft doesn't want you to be able to touch or know about. Nor is it even consistent for that matter, with stuff shuffling around, resetting and being removed during updates. My post is a prime example, they don't want you to be able to disable Bing search because they make money from it, exactly the same reason they actively try preventing you from removing edge.

Rustmilian OP , vor einem Monat (Bearbeitet vor einem Monat)

The reason why is because of dependency hell and general packaging conflicts that could occur. You can go with the tar, snap, appimage or flatpak. If you do decide to use the system level package from a 3rd party, just be aware of the risks and be careful.
The issue lay within the difference in standards, the usual target for these companies is Debian using the Debian packaging guidelines, while Ubuntu has their own, Ubuntu and Debian also have different release cycles which can lead to conflict with certain packages.
Perhaps, if you're needs aren't met maybe moving to a semi-rolling or rolling distro is best.
