GNOME did a lot of innovation and took A LOT of flak for it, but in the end they were right and most of the improvements to Windows Explorer after the disaster of Windows 8 were cribbed directly from it. The fact that you can launch a program on Windows by pressing the Windows key and typing two or three characters followed by enter is all thanks to GNOME. The fact that, after launching that program you can send it to the left half, right half, or full screen by pressing Windows-left, WIndows-right, or Windows-up is all thanks to GNOME. For all the talk in Windows 9x era programming manuals about how not all computers have mouse inputs, GNOME actually nailed down the keyboard-driven interface for "floating" window managers. The fact that you can hold ctrl-shift-left/right and drag these windows between several virtual desktops is just Linux users grave-dancing on Windows with a 10+ year old concept.
mfw Linux file managers had tabs more than a decade before file explorer.
I hate that the GNOME team is called "woke"? by a lot of Linux-using chuds online. Idk why though, it's so fucking weird.
GNOME said anti-white racism isn't real and the chud Linux community fucking IMPLODED
style. Super based af but those chuds are the loudest so people get negative impressions of GNOME (and the GNU/Linux community) because of those chuds.
Lmao I always wondered what it was because these hogs never say why.
All the anti-GNOME, anti-Wayland, and anti-systemd people always seem to be chud coded. All this software has valid criticisms, but chuds always seem to latch onto weird social schisms and blow valid downsides out of proportion.
GNOME people just tend to not like bigotry, and that's enough for chuds.
