Note : I’ve barely used gnome in my life so it’s based on memes I’ve saw about gnome

and it shows

2 other responses I got confirmed that such thing happens and you say otherwise. Doesn't Gnome breaks third party extensions that provides users basic functionality that should be in gnome in the first place but the devs don't want to implement? Is the meme wrong?

Not that guy but phrases like "basic functionality" are just hard to pin down. What you need for your workflow and can't live without is probably irrelevant fluff to a whole other class of folks.

I haven't run into anything I need a third-party extension for yet, so I guess it works for some of us, although admittedly I do very few things on that machine so I could easily be missing something vital for most people.

GNOME works the best when not used. Got it.

[-] hibsen@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

That was pretty effing funny.

How much do you use your OS, though? I'd characterize it more as it works best by staying out of the way.

I turn the computer on, load a game or an occasional productive application, and I don't think about it any more than that. My only real interaction with it beyond picking some initial settings is super+search for the thing I actually want to interact with.

I am using it for work (programming) and for games. Usually about 12 hours daily, except weekends.

I liked GNOME shell until they managed to kill systray extensions for good. I didn't want to fight it no more so I left.

Fair enough. I don't know what those are, so I guess I can't miss them.
