But that's the whole thing. Redhat and the foundation don't have any leadership over a decentralized group of open source developers. Gnome is not like the Linux kernel where there's one giant repository with one lead…
The only one out of those that's a intentional design is multiple monitors. The other ones are known shortcomings that are just really hard to fix. The memory leak was fixed a few years ago:…
That isn't how gnome works, being decentralized and all. The foundation pays for very little of the development and has little to no influence over what developers actually do. If you wanted the community to have more…
That's categorically false, there are issues to fix both of those in the gnome settings: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues... https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues...
It's not easy for me to take this comment seriously because gnome doesn't actually have anything anyone could define as leadership. It's a decentralized open source thing. You might be incorrectly assuming bad faith.
Iced looks pretty cool but it's focused on being a cross-platform toolkit and will probably not ever be the best choice for making programs native to Linux, like a desktop environment. If you thought there were enough…
That seems like a lot of revisionist history. From what I've seen GTK never had good cross-platform development support. Programs like GIMP and Inkscape always looked and behaved very oddly to me on other platforms. The…
>Also gnome is so flawed in so many ways from leaking memory due to unfixable mismatch between js and compiled code, to nonsensical handling of multiple desktops, to add-ons that both rely on monkey patching your…
That question is a non-sequitur. But to give you a type of answer, most of libadwaita came out of Purism.
Checking the response from the maintainer shows another different story: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679658#c12 >Implementing keyboard selection inside vte means that every terminal based on vte benefits;…
You've decided the best way forward for you is to write sysvinit and openrc scripts. That's an opinion completely focused around writing some additional code. You don't have to write it all from scratch to be expressing…
I think you've got some things mixed up. The word "woke" usually means being aware of issues with discrimination in the workplace. I'd have to agree with the grandparent comment, if you're suggesting that being aware of…
>If a bug is in systemd, I can't easily fix it myself. I now have to fight upstream to recognize my issue and fix it for me. That's not true. You can do as you would with the shell script and patch it in your local…
That's just re-stating the grandparent comment! If you think everyone is entitled to their opinion then the only tangible way to express that opinion would be to produce new code. What use is the opinion if nobody ever…
I haven't seen any of these supposed Red Hat projects that have dependencies for political reasons. If that were really true then it would be trivial for anyone to remove those dependencies, and there wouldn't be…
I think it's fair to say that Linux isn't Unix and goes well beyond the design constraints of Unix that were imposed when it was originally started in 1969. That's the era you stick to when you insist on only doing…
The ticket that quote came from is pretty old and turned out to be a non-issue. I've addressed that in another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29865759 If you're trying to prove a point, you could at least…

I disagree with this, in my experience D-Bus is very similar to other IDLs like DCOM, protobuf or ASN.1. If you're familiar with those, D-Bus should actually be easy in comparison.
If you're asking for Red Hat to stop creating integrations between different parts of their distribution, that isn't going to happen. That's one of the benefits you get from being a distribution vendor. Every Linux…

It's difficult to understand what your complaint is, that describes every software project I've ever seen. You pick a target set of users and then develop for those users. Is there some other way to develop software?
