Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault. (lemmy.world)

    I know, right!? Add gimp to that list as well. I can go on and on about shortcomings of gimp despite being a happy user. The average gimp hater, on the other hand, doesn't have anything to say besides "the UI is dumb and I can't figure out how to draw a circle"

    "The UI is unintuitive" is a legitimate complaint

    "Intuitive UI" results in Gnome.

    Is it really intuitive if I have to open dconf-editor to change the system font?

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

    They call it "intuitive UI", Linus calls it "‘users are idiots, and are confused by functionality’ mentality of Gnome"

    It's not always a zero-sum game.

    Elaborate? Most of good UI comes from KDE.

    What I mean is, makingg a UI more intuitive does not necessarily make it more... Gnome-ey? It can still be effective, customizable, etc.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

    "Intuitive UI" crowd usually means Gnome-ey/Apple-ey design.

    In reality customizable design is more intuitive, because you can customize it to your intuition.

    kate editor would like to have a word... They did my lady kate dirty with the latest updates :( The top level File menu was so much better and now I don't know where to find the configuration to get that back, and have on my work computer a stupid single button in the top right corner which opens the "menu bar", except vertically..
