The FACTS about GNOME’s plans for THEMES
- Thread starter Alexzee
- Start date
I am reminded of something someone once said to me. They said, "You use GNOME if you like GNOME."
The gist of the conversation was that GNOME does things their way and only their way. If you look at it that way, the things they do make sense.
I do not like GNOME. I don't use GNOME unless I have to, or if it's not important enough to change the DE.

Which is perfectly okay. Cinnamon, which I do like, is actually based on GNOME 3.
The great thing is that we use Linux. We're not stuck with one DE. We can pick and choose and there are many, many choices. You don't even need a DE to use Linux.
In theory, you could use a different shell (DE) for Windows - back in the day. You'd load a different shell, other than the explorer.exe shell and effectively have a different DE. That was possible back in the XP days and I think you could still do it in Vista. I have no idea if that's an option today.
Ah, you still can...

GNOME is supposed to stand for elegance, that's all. This is reflected with Budgie and sometimes with Cinnamon, which were derrived from GNOME. I found Pantheon somewhat less impressive, with orange highlighting all over the place in elementary OS. :/
I'm not comfortable with Spiral Linux Budgie but it sure looks great rendering "Liberation Mono" or its mutation "Cousine" Nerd font, with 12 points because I want to get a full flag base for the lowercase "L" -- the former can't give it to me in some distros, while the latter always could. The font rendering is awesome, but I cannot say the same thing about KDE no matter what adjustments about fonts is made. This is with uppercase "I" and "L" and with apostrophe (single-quotation mark), which look fuzzy on KDE but sharp on Spiral Linux Budgie. <3
I say one more time, if it weren't for Spiral Linux I wouldn't have tolerated three of the desktops.

I'll check it out later, gotta go to work:-
I have no idea.
Have heard GNOME tend to take their own path so its their way or bust? I only tried it once and hated it but then I do come from the world of Microsoft both privately and from a work perspective.
I think personally Cinnamon, which I believe was borne from GNOME (??) is a decent compromise.

That was a good link dos2unix, thanks.
That link lead me to a page that shows how to update and upload different versions of Gnome extensions to
versions to extensions.gnome.org for pre- and post-45 support.
Modules are loaded different from scripts so I'm not sure where to import them from.
Got some learning to do.
Might have to join Matrix and Discourse to learn.

Yup, Cinnamon comes from Gnome:-
