Hey! Let’s add more bugs into an existing pile of bugs (Nextcloud)!

There’s not any discernable delay in typing

Typing is fine, just minimize a window on GNOME and then to the same on Xfce and you’ll see the difference. Xfce = window instantly gone, no special effects. GNOME random minimize / fade animation.

Ahahahaha

Weyyy! Let’s migrate from the most buggy software out there into the papyrus open comic sans photo manager. :)

Actually kudos for the Immich guys, it is indeed a great piece of software… unlike Nextcloud.

If this is true, there is something wrong with your system.

No there isn’t. This is a thing I’ve noticed in all GNOME systems, mine or not. What is happening is that you, like many other people, like to watch an animation when you click on something and I like desktop environments that just get shit down and don’t get in my way.

Obviously that 2s was an exaggeration, but still it isn’t as quick as KDE or Xfce when moving around due to its animations. Even Windows is significantly faster at launching things, minimizing and maximizing windows. macOS adds more animations than GNOME in some things, but it usually doesn’t get in the way on the essential things.

Mostly GNOME and Xfce depending on the circumstance. KDE is decent and fast but the design is very bad, they’ve zero sense of proportions and spacing around elements.

Could I just ask what your point is here? I’m refuting the baseless assertion that Gnome is an extremely buggy DE.

C’mon I never said it was buggy, I just said it was slow. Every other DE typically launches applications faster than GNOME. It also forces pointless animations down people’s throat, and no that toggle under settings doesn’t remove all animations.

If you don’t like the workflow then fair enough,

It’s not about the workflow, GNOME has the potential to be the one and only DE that actually makes it so big companies start developing proprietary applications for Linux without the constant fear of the “floor shifting bellow their feet” making it pointless to develop for Linux. Unfortunately GNOME insists on reinventing the wheel about every two years in the quest for their vision… and we get a perpetually half made DE out of that. The desktop is more than tested and everyone already tried all possible iterations of it, just get over it and so something useful with your funding.

What’s the point is in having a well funded team when you want to change network settings and you’ve to go through three different kinds of UIs and applications all of them with their own particular style? Not even Windows is that bad - at least the old-style Control Panel has all the settings (including very advanced ones) that Linux never managed to get into a SINGLE and CONSISTENT UI. The same applies for a lot of other cases.

GNOME design is mostly okay (from a UI standpoint) but very bad from an UX one. It hides things from you (including the decision of removing desktop icons that could’ve been simply a toggle like in macOS) and proceeds to work against you by blocking your workflow/actions with graphic animations instead of getting to the results.

To be fair there are other things in GNOME that are just pure crap and application icons are one of them. What Android and iOS (mostly this one) do is have a set of guidelines for application icons so things looks more or less uniform. Android allows for more deviation while iOS doesn’t really care it will apply a mask over your icon either way. In GOME, in multiple menus, you get icons larger than others, backgrounds on some and others barely visible. GNOME never tires to get anything uniform and leaves that to themes that will also always fail because they won’t have icons for all applications in the world.

Nice one. Maybe e can make a website “whatwouldlinussay.com”?

TCB13 , 3 months ago to linux in If you've recently started experiencing input delay / lag in GNOME Terminal in Ubuntu 22.04

My i7-6800K disagrees with you. :P

TCB13 , 3 months ago to linux in If you've recently started experiencing input delay / lag in GNOME Terminal in Ubuntu 22.04

Gnome is astonishingly and notoriously stable for being a modern DE

Yes, and it also uses web technologies to render themes and has zero sense of usability.

TCB13 , 3 months ago to linux in If you've recently started experiencing input delay / lag in GNOME Terminal in Ubuntu 22.04

I started “experiencing input delay / lag in GNOME” since I first used it. It’s normal, every thing you click or type requires a 2s animation to show up, usually rendered with CSS themes. lol

So… it’s Alpine in openSUSE-flavor?

Afaik the stated reasons for moving back were pure BS, or at least blown out of proportion. It mainly came down to the people in charge being very “friendly” with M$

I know! Profits.

I’ve had some posts removed because of that so… maybe not on this community but still.

Yes, Germany likes to spend money going back and forth between FOSS and Microsoft.

In 2003, Munich announced it would be moving some 14,000 PCs off Windows and to Linux. In 2013, the LiMux project finished, but high associated costs and user dissatisfaction resulted in Munich announcing in 2017 that it would spend the next three years reverting back to Windows.

Germany be like: let’s move to Linux in the hardest and most likely way to fail. You know, gotta find creative ways to fill your consulting “friends” pockets. :)
