  • Well what I meant is that if Gnome was taking so much inspiration from MacOs, being a Gnome user, I wouldn’t have felt lost on MacOS.

    I also don’t mind Gnome taking what’s great from every other OS, as it’d clearly be stupid not to if an idea is great.

    I also think that people should be more open minded about what others are enjoying. I prefer Linux, but I can also understand that some people just want to have the most compatible OS with everything, aka Windows. Or the best ecosystem, aka Apple.

    It is not my choice, and I’m trying to convince people to switch to something else, but just badmouthing their choice when it has objectively some advantages isn’t gonna help.


  • I’ve only spent a few hours on my wife’s MacBook Pro which was still running Catalina (now Fedora) back in the days, and I didn’t think Gnome and MacOs were so similar.

    To be honest I felt a bit lost on MacOs Catalina and felt like everything was difficult compared to Gnome.

    But I guess Gnome is taking a lot of inspiration from the MacOs aesthetic, and it’s okay with me because it looks great.

    I don’t have a lot of experience with other DE on Linux, but they lack the clean aesthetic of Gnome.




  • It’s an interesting article and I’m also starting to think more and more about game preservation.

    I don’t understand why a company like Sony wouldn’t provide you a way to play ps1-3 games on your ps5. I would even be ready to pay for it.

    There might be some technical problems I’m not seeing, but people can do it on older pc’s…

    I guess the whole video game industry has to think about preserving its own history.

    I don’t know if open sourcing games would help, but something needs to be done.

    Even playing a game like Sim City 2000 on pc is proving challenging now on Windows. I would want to play it on Linux but I can’t imagine how difficult that would be as the game isn’t even listed in Proton DB. And the VM solution would probably not work as Steam wouldn’t support something like Windows XP…
