Gnome 41 in the pipeline

Be happy you are young enough to make such changes… and maybe even make them stick. I have tried Gnome extensively (when I had mainly Ubuntu-based boxes) but I never got used to CSD - to the point that I had to drop gedit etc…

Now if I must 'buntu - it is Xubuntu…

If you really want perfection why wait for Gnome 41. 40 was supposed to be that! Just install KDE it’s always been perfect. :rofl:

If no movement forwards, it’s called stagnation!

Gnome 40 is the reason i switched to linux
If i want my de to look like windows then i will use windows instead of kde

No such thing as being too old for change :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Though it depends on if you want to or it makes any real sense to, Gnome isnt for everyone but thats why we have plenty of DEs to choose from :slightly_smiling_face: :+1:

Well - there we have a problem. It isn’t change itself that is the difficulty - it is the remembering of the change that becomes very difficult with age. When it is attempting to alter something embedded for more than 60 years, and invalidating experience of something between 20 and 30 years, there is a high bar to get past.

Now, if for some reason I needed to learn a different language - perhaps something in the kanji line, or even semitic, but absorbed in a different direction I could put in the effort. Whether the effort would be successful is doubtful, but the attempt would probably assist in the change being discussed here. As it is, though, even trying to learn the change is completely unnecessary (though I did experience it for a while) which makes the process unlikely to have success!

Gnome has arguments about why CSD, and some of them even make sense in isolation - but combining it with an interface misstep of this order is a deal breaker. If a new paradigm (!) was needed, or if verttical screen real estate was needing to be saved, a superior direction would be to locate close/min/max vertically from the top left and accompanying it with (as needed) vertically arranged toolbar items (including hamburger-style menu buttons) would be far less intrusive to workflow than jamming extra interface items into an overloaded title bar.

IMHO, of course :grin:

usually takes a few weeks to get into the arch repos. They wait till the release bugs are worked out a bit. Ive tried doing the testing repos and such but it tends to break stuff so Id recommend just waiting.

I recommend not installing it. Stick with the Kde kids! You’re better off! :rofl: Life without Kde is is like Arch without pacman.
