The funny thing is that you can’t prove me wrong there, apparently not even provide valid arguments, just add a pile of ramblings and insults.

You clearly never used those extensions.

It was always an unfinished project because no one gave a flying

No, I didn’t misunderstood, I know it was yet another GNOME unfinished project. Both the native thing and the extensions always had/have the same problems - drag and drop from apps never working properly, the icon grid behaves incorrectly sometimes and other cosmetic glitches.

for anything that was of zero value.

Now this is the thing, desktop icons are basic DE functionality and even Apple - the guys that actually know how to design anything - agree they should be there… at least with an option to turn them ON/OFF. The removal of desktop icons was simply the “GNOME vision” being used as an excuse not the fix something that was hard to fix.

and there are plenty of extensions to add them back if you (for some ungodly reason) want them

All the extensions are plagued by the same issue they had before. Drag and drop from apps never working properly, the icon grid behaves incorrectly sometimes and other cosmetic glitches.

Desktop icons were removed because they’re (at least in the devs’ opinions), a poor solution.

They were removed because they were never able to make them working properly. It was always an hack and had multiple issues. ANY other OS and DE has desktop icons…

Okay, that’s fair, what editors are you using?

I don’t complain much about Joplin because it has apps for every platform and doesn’t encode your notes in some SQLite DB + proprietary format or some other hard to access situation. Not that it looks good, but at least you’re locked into some subscription/format/limitation like in Standard Notes. I wish Joplin looked as good as Standard Notes, especially on iOS.

Except for the metadata at the bottom, looks a LOT like markdown to me…

You know, they were too busy wasting money on reinventing the wheel and coming up with “a vision” to be able to sort their budget.

So… If I throw half a million at them I’ll get native desktop icons back?

Wordpress + Woocomerce. There are a few themes that use less or no JavaScript, but you shouldn’t bother with that, JS is useful and can reduce the amount of page loads (traffic) and make the experience better.

… that can be said from apt repositories. But… they’re made in a way you can mirror the entire thing offline.

While I share your views about being amateur hours we’ve been seeing an increase in usage and releases on it. At this rate flatpak/flathub will become the defacto way of getting desktop software for Linux and it does solve a lot of annoyances and makes things more secure however it lacks features.

Yes, reverse DNS. Typo there.
