I love Gnome. People love to hate it, but it's workflow is SO good.
I think people just get annoyed that they can't force it to be whatever they want it to be. Which is fine, that's why other options exist!
But if you really go to the content-focused, workspace + keyboard shortcut flow Gnome is incredibly efficient, consistent, and stable.
Unpopular opinion #2: I love libadwaita and GTK4. Basically, I enjoy when devs are opinionated about things and build what they want to see in the world.
The adaptive part of libadwaita is really exciting for different form factors!
that's a very black and white view of things but real life isn't so pretty.
some people are intentionally misled or just not informed enough.
you alienate people by assuming they're racist when they're often not. I mean, it's a choice. but it's not gonna win you an election and I don't think it'll move the US forward.
It's not an intentional snub, I just answered this question in a different reply.
I don't know with enough certainty to list out all the issues, but the biggest one that sticks out to me is information control.
The government restricts citizens access to the Internet (among other things). I have talked to people from Russia, people from China, etc online. But I have never talked to someone from North Korea and that is a pretty big red flag for me.
I pretty strongly believe that anybody who tries to control the flow of information amongst supposedly free people is not a "good guy". Yes, this includes the United States, UK, China, etc. Many do so to some extent and I am against all of them for that.
although I think it's pretty obvious that it's not comparable here.
it's called the Korean peninsula. One country is on the north, one is on the south. pretty hard to argue that North Korea and South Korea don't logically follow from that.
It's cool to use this to discount my personal direct experience but I don't think it's a strong counter.
Dating somebody typically means you get to know them and their cultural background really really well. It's extremely relevant here whether you like that or want to discount it
I want to establish that it's even worth talking by making sure that y'all could budge on anything. otherwise this is a waste of time.
I'm deeply open to new perspectives, and I love to hear them - they widen my world. But I have some experiences already that generally conflict with the messaging here.
I've dated a Korean and been to Korea which has influenced me quite a lot.
i mean, everything else aside... if the DPRK is so great, why do they maintain such a tight grasp on what the citizens can access and share information wise?
it's generally not positive to restrict people's access to information. people there are not on the internet
you can change the home screen. I did that on my android tv. android tv kinda rocks actually
