  • GNOME makes it a pain to switch between two applications, unless you have a touchscreen or a keyboard always at the ready. There’s a reason why Ubuntu ships with the Dash to Panel extension by default. And besides, the customization in GNOME is effectively non-existent since the migration to Adwaita, anything resembling theming is literally a hack on top. KDE, on the other hand, is more flexible, only problem is that most of the themes rely on a separate Kvantum engine, but otherwise it is certainly possible to customize things to your liking much more so than with GNOME.





  • And I expected the comment and the discussion to be controversial. I am on the team that avoids AI as much as humanly possible, and I still write code the old-fashioned way (maybe with some LLM-free macros via Bash, but otherwise AI-less unless Google has inadvertently slipped something of the sort in my search results). This is because I’m well aware of the widespread dismissal of copyright law for training data, the obscene costs of training itself, the hallucinations and the sycophancy intrinsic in the way a neural network is trained. But unfortunately, the cat is out of the bag, and plenty of developers now use it routinely, and those same developers are effectively trying to toe the line to see how much are they allowed to use the cheat engine before being demanded to stop.
