Lads, how to do I set up and run a blog anonymously?

I’m looking to set up a blog to vent, but my country’s renowned for throwing people in prison for this sort of thing: I was wondering what tips and advice you’d be able to give me?

The unwritten rules of GNOME

No.77377754 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
> Don't use any themes other than Adwaita. GNOME has no stable themes API so don't bother forking a theme, because it will, sooner or later, break. Don't boil the ocean.

> Never install GNOME extensions. GNOME has no stable extension API so don't bother, you'll either burn out or it simply will keep breaking in each update. There's no legit incentive to swim against the tide.

> Never use the tweak tool, the changes in GNOME my conflict with your custom settings.

> Do everything "the redhat way": systemd, dbus, latest Gtk, flatpak, CSD, polkit etc.

GNOME forces you a very specific workflow and in return you get a polished and stable UX.

There's no sugarcoating in my posts but I just say the things people won't tell you straight away, yet they know these deep inside.

Another footnote, it's easy to misinterpret this post. Note that I still prefer GNOME more than anything else, because it's the only real desktop environment, without any hint of contest too.

Is this a joke?

Are you enjoying having your window manager, compositor, display server, Hotkey daemon, screenshot and screen casting apis, display and resolution management, all baked in one piece of software that's different from a system to another.

How isn't this going to make Linux even more fragmented.

Right now we have 3 main Wayland compositors: Gnome/mutter, KDE/kwin, Sway/wlroots.
All implementing basic stuff such as screenshots and screen casting differently.

No trolling, what exactly does Linux do that Windows can't? Sure, package managers. These can be a pain in the ass sometimes but they work most of the time. But is that it? What exactly do you get more from a Linux desktop compared to a Windows one? Legit question as I see the hate Windows gets(and some of it is well deserved).
