That 10% is only there so that you can participate and feel involved; awards are mostly money schemes and industry people patting each other on the back.

Meanwhile they reveal 1 Billion revenue from their latest acquisition…

Tilda is barely maintained anymore, you can get Tilix that has the same quake like feature. You can also add the quake terminal extension to your favorite alternative if you use gnome.

Yeah sorta. First you gotta know what the problem is, good luck getting the average user to figure out the UI looks off because of the padding. Then you gotta know where and how you need to change it to make it better.

Customizing is cool for power users that like to fiddle with their settings, however it can’t replace good defaults; not that I have anything against the defaults in this case…

Defaults matter, most people never bother customizing.

Use diff patches and automate with some bash scripting.

Nautilus has empty space on the sides these days to paste.

Never thought about making the home folders flatcase, thanks, takes all of 2 minutes btw.
If anybody else wants to do it, remember to edit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs with your new flatcase folders.

Game development isn’t linear, projects get discarded in early development all the time. The development team starts small and balloons as the game gets closer to release; diablo 4 for example spent 10 years in development, 8 years is nothing special.

With Gnome reducing customizability

If you’re expecting more customization from cosmic I have bad news for you…

having 5-year old bugs never get fixed

Bugs aren’t prioritized by age.

breaking necessary extensions every update

Gnome breaks every extension on major updates, this is by design to force the extension maintainer to make sure their shit works with the latest version.

moving off gnome was was warranted

I strongly doubt any reason you cited was the linchpin for Cosmic moving off Gnome. It’s probably simply that they want more control and to do things their way. Gnome is a project that has thousands of people involved, with plenty of diverging opinions; getting stuff to change to fit your wants is gonna be an uphill battle each time.

There’s some distributions that are windows-like, if you want that you can try Linux Mint. But some DEs like Gnome approach desktop use very differently and do away with plenty of windows designs.

PoE2 has been postponed for 5 years. It’s the classic example of feature creep.
Will it be amazing when it comes out? Maybe. You know what would have been amazing, having all those new animations and models for the past 5 years. It could have been an iterative work, nobody asked them to do it all in one go.

If only it could stick to its release dates too.
