  1. Ha, and here I thought DEs should be apolitical, because the computer doesn't care about your skin color... well, apparently, the developers of GNOME do... I would say someone should fork it and make it better and apolitical... but it has already been attempted a few times...

  2. @chrisxdeboy  Gnome is technically themable, just not in a way anyone wants to try and theme it anymore. They kind of took over GTK being an individual thing, which is good/bad depending on how you think of it. Also, the problem with KDE themes and executing scripts is a nasty thing that needs to be dealt with... I still wish either KDE would do an 'simple mode' or Gnome would do a 'advanced mode' option to meet somewhere in the middle. KDE is slowly getting to the point where it isn't a crazy mess of options, gnome flips back and forth between them thinking they know best, and letting users actually do what they want... ha, if I knew how to code worth a damn, I would just turn the Amiga workbench into a DE and be done with it...

  3.  @kirith_gamer8029  a lot of it came from the Nokia N900 for Gnome Shell.

  4. I know I saw gnome running on a POS in Home Depot one day. But this was long enough ago that it was running Gnome 1.

  5. I haven't seen this from Arch yet, though I snoozed a bit during this video, so maybe I missed it... but I honestly wouldn't mind moving to CDE, I love the look of my SGI's desktop...

  6.  @TheSolidSnakeOil  Web browsers have got to be the worse to work on. Or more to the point their rendering engines, as it is a constantly moving target, the standards, what few there are, are implemented differently, so can cause code to display in odd ways depending on what you use. While on the one hand, it would be nice to have a proper standard, leaving all the power of the web to one company will be the end of any innovation...
