    The other week had a GNOME dev reply to a thread of mine on mastodon stating that the users desire to select a default terminal emulator was an “edge case” and it was beneath GNOME. then all the GNOME fanboys came out to his defense.

    It’s an insufferable DE and community.

      As insufferable as KDE users always shitting on gnome?

      I’ve generally found gnome users just use it. New KDE releases don’t have gnome fanboys bashing it, etc.

      But new GNOME releases? Directly the opposite.

      Really wish people would just chill.

        New KDE releases don’t have gnome fanboys bashing it

        There is a lot less hate for KDE… Because KDE doesn’t break the user experience every time it updates. Gnome is the Apple of the Linux world. The entire dev team embodies the Apple attitude of “we know better than you, and you’re wrong for wanting to use anything except the default settings.”

        You’re essentially getting the “iPhone user seeing all of the hate from android users every time iOS updates” experience. Because every time a new iPhone feature comes out, all of the android users go “lmao iOS didn’t have that feature until now? Android had it three years ago. Apple fucking sucks.”

        I find that Penis Stroker 2000 never has users bashing it when a new release comes out.

        But every single new release of Scrotum Puncher 5000 that comes out, it’s getting criticized. I’m sick of it!!

        Yeah, there is way less hate and mockery towards KDE. Now let’s think why that might be

      I checked your Mastodon timeline but I don’t see the post, only the one where you relate the story.
