GNOME is just so fucking disgustingly godawful. It's absolutely revolting dogshit. It's just awfully abysmal. It's a repulsive ideology seeping into every crevice of open source it can get its grimy tendrils into. It's a campaign to make user interfaces look as repugnantly drab and soulless as possible. It's a movement to suck the life and usability out of the desktop user experience. Every one of the pawns who have 'contributed' in any way to GNOME from 3.0 onwards is responsible for the gradual destruction of the concept of the desktop user interface that was built from the ground up from those passionate for computers to make a positive difference in people's live from the 1960s to today. I really, really, really fucking hate GNOME. And if you don't, you're wrong.

I want to like Gnome but I just can't bring myself to do it.

You can get away from GNOME/GTK/libadwaita garbage by switching over to KDE and Qt equivalents for most apps, they work well together and can be endlessly configured to your liking, especially with extensions. Hyprland and the rest of the tiling managers felt too barebones and demanded too much configuration, but there is no need for them when you have the Polonium / Krohnkite extensions for KWin that turn KDE into a tiling window manager.

the soulful interfaces of the past are simply not something that is going to return. the golden age of the personal computer has passed. basing your choice of software on soulfulness in current year is pure folly. reliability and function are the new priorities in our increasingly draconian and overly complicated digital world. popular des like gnome, which have many eyes on them and receive serious funding and contributions, are better tools. you might hate this utilitarian approach, i don't love it either, but it's simply what computers have been relegated to, and using them as anything other than tools is delusional.

I had written a couple of applications with the TK framework and honestly I would not have any problem if all applications used it instead of the shit we have today. It may not have all the features of Qt or GTK but frankly I don't think most applications need everything Qt or GTK offers. Most applications seem to be gradually slipping into mobile device design at worst or mac OS design at best and I fucking hate it.

>>17400 lul did you make this? >>17525 Amen, brother. I mean, I use Qt (muh signals) but I don't do any theming. Standard, traditional desktop GUIs are the only ones I can take seriously and the only ones that feel like "stable applications" to me. Keep fighting the good fight, I will too.
