To tell the truth, Gnome's implementation is way more simple and straightforward. In Plasma, one has to go to some hidden location, create a .desktop file there, then go to another location and create a real template which .desktop refers to. That's the opposite of being user friendly, especially for newcomers.

For those curious, the extension that handles audio input & output is called "Sound Input & Output Device Chooser" very original name imho

Use macOS for a while and you’ll notice a lot of design philosophy is shared between GNOME and macOS, while KDE and most other Linux desktops behave more like Windows.

@jtwatts5395

Жыл бұрын

I only have one like to give! I appreciate your approach and I'm going to try that out for myself.

My main gripe about Gnome is the inflexibility. I hate that the only way to change/customize anything is an unsupported hack that'll likely break with every update. I get that they want to control the end user experience, but I don't like their interface. The app indicator in the top panel is a useless waste of space, and clicking on it yields inconsistent results. Sometimes it'll say Help, sometimes it'll have Quit and Help, sometimes it acts like the File menu. A Global Menu makes more sense to me. *_Any_* widget makes more sense than just the name of the app I'm running. It's not even a task manager, so you can't click on the app indicator to switch to other running apps. It's quite literally useless, and yet it's required to be there. Can't move the clock. Can't add anything else to the top panel unless it's an extension that'll likely break. I personally can't live like that. I also can't stand that the wallpaper picker in Gnome can't create a slideshow. You have to open Shotwell, create an album, and assign the album as a wallpaper, but then the transition between pictures is super choppy. Half-baked, unintuitive, and restrictive. That's pretty much the theme of using Gnome for me. I switched to KDE not long after the release of Gnome 3, before Mate really matured, and now it's too late to turn back. I'm spoiled by KDE's freedom. I applaud you for sticking with it, and for finding things about it to like.

You can make gedit save your tab/space preferences if you click on the hamburger menu, then Preferences, then Editor. Also, there are some useful keybinds that can be found under Keyboard Shortcuts in the hamburger menu, such as moving lines or blocks up and down.

Very good points! I actually have the workflow to open settings to connect to wifi and Bluetooth

GNOME does seem to me as a more "elegant" DE than kinda "cluttered" KDE but I still cannot get convinced to switch just because of all those minor annoyances that in the end lower the overall user experience very much. I mean - I don't get why some simple features aren't just available by default there but require extensions that may break after an update. And although I understand many of the design decisions like lack of desktop icons, at the same time e.g. that issue with zooming seems just ridiculous. Anyway, gonna stick with Plasma so far, even though it's not perfect and a little bit glitchy sometimes.

To change gedit settings permanently go through the hamburger-menu -> settings It also enables you to turn on some other features Gnome extension tip: bluetooth toggle

Good to have an update! I think your problem with gedit is that you think it is for programming when it is just like the mac text editor or notepad on windows. It is just for making quick notes and stuff, not developing. Also I have never had need to magnify text in gedit. I think this is due again to using it as a substitute for vscode or something. I don't ever create empty files in Files, I always just create a file in an app first and then save it, for me it seems strange to save a file first and then open it. I haven't done that on any computer since RISC OS in the 80s. Even when using macs or windows I have never seen the need to do this, but if you do there is a folder called templates in your home file where you can put empty files that will then appear in the Files' context menu to create new files.

I use Fedora and Kate is available to the user as well as Dolphin. I don't don't know what Gnome you are using and I don't know if these versions work the same as they do in KDE. Thanks for you review and comments.

The only thing about Kate that I don't like is the confusing use case of tabs or split the page. For example if I want a file to the right and a file to the left, using the function split I will have the same file for each side and if i close one of the two, both of them close. Instead in dolphin this split or tabs works much better.

Hiii Niccolo pls try feren os and give us a review. Entertaining video BTW.

Gnome's new Text Editor has zoom feature. To be honest, I never tried to zoom Gedit so never knew there wasn't a zooming option. That's really weird.

What I hate most is when app settings are too big and you can't change them because they are cut off below screen, mainly happens on laptops, and also I hate the chunky Titlebars.

For block mode editing in gedit, check out the multi edit plugin!

Years ago, when I checked out Gnome I had the exact same impressions. The apps are less power user friendly, less featured and you have to live with some weird design decisions. I understand, that they want to have less customizability to increase out of the box user friendlyness for inexperienced users, but it does not fit my needs in that case. If I need to chase which Shell plugin or extension I need to install to get a certain behaviour, then usability for me as a user suffers. I dig Gnomes design, however.

Open in terminal Nano write your new text file save. Or open text editor and new. GNOME is all about simplicity to humans so less menu option the easier the choices. Also for the best Gnome feeling I would try Fedora as they go basic GNOME while other add broken customisation Ubuntu being the worse for butchered Gnome DE. One Extension I recommend if you a mouse user is Vertical over view make workspace switching more logical and follow the up and down movement of the mouse wheel. also moving the dock to right had side means no interference of full screen app windows scroll bars if you place a hot-side/hot-corner mouse swipe on the right side, because on bottom or left you can often trigger a swipe by accident on smaller screens, Like the chime bar in W8.1 which made it a shit show of an OS for small screen and Excel sheet work. I pushing for them to make the extension in the setting at start up after install. Will not upgrade to 42 until the extension is covered. Blue my shell is very layout and Theme set to Adwaita theme. Changing the theme break it some times and the App transparency and Menu fails Bug has been report you get ghosting around them on certain theme. For a good GNOME Life avoid UBUNTU most the extension will be painful as they heavily butchered GNOME 41. Dash to dock is a good extension but is break at time if mixed with the vertical extension I love so until it work well it is a dead extension to me, as it mainly is for Ubuntu layout and theme anyway. Icon accenting and default dark modes for system theming are coming. Then each theme will have both dark and light and all backgrounds will have both dark and light version. But I am guessing it will still allow custom images for background like now. I also now prefer dnf package manger as I find with Fusion and Flathub I have more stable version of app I liked on Ubuntu which don't have a .RPM yet in Fedora's main repo. But the main reason I like GNOME and Fedora shit move fast and just in the time I have been using it. the DE GUI has massively move forward. KDE I like but to my it still feel a bit Microsoft in it lay out and workings. Granted it is very good to customisible their isn't a setting missing but for just jumping on and getting work done it is to details at time to many setting to set, last time I tried it I spent 4 days just mastering the DE setting. Fedora starts very basic and simple and every part is added as a personally extension as you go along and work on that DE move it like an Easter hunt each Extension is like a gold cover chocolate egg. With chicken laying new egg each day. Just as I thing I know every possible mode I find another help extension add to the list. Plus if something break I switch off all extension and logically try the broken app adding one extension after another till I find the broken of incompatible extension. Fedora doesn't break often as a base because it DE is so pure basic GNOME. again Ubuntu add their own theme and more like snaps etc that break things to often add is why I started looking at other distro's I like the their version of GNOME at the time, but it broke so often as you add more extensions, plus they toke so long to take up Wayland too. Which I don't now why but my Vega GPU did not like Xorg based DE's to technically for my level of skills, but I switch to Fedora and wayland no more GNOME flickering or artifice. As most Gnome app run in Wayland I never use Xorg out side very old PC's which are for its time and won't run either GNOME or KDE because of hardware limitations. I like to use XFCE, LXDE or Deepin on those PC's I put Linux on and distro. Keep using GNOME it, it grows on you but try Fedora like SUSE less chefs in the kitchen make for a better dish! UBUNTU so big there is some many trash apps and people giving script kiddie out dated scripts or forums with fixes from 10 years ago and doesn't even work anymore that way because Linux has evolved massively over that time, Find the strait help no overload of Fedora help pages great as they have someone to maintain it and take down out of date things. Update cycles are good and testing good too.

Is ANKI is working in your computer..? In my case.. a blank window is appearing making it completely unusable. I've the latest version downloaded from the anki website.

I usually prefer the simpler aproach in Gnome, but regarding Gedid vs Kate, I definetively prefer Kate.

Krusader is the only file manager I find to be acceptable. Most of the rest are very awkward to use, lack basic settings required to easily complete a task, and feel broken. Kate was the first editor that compared with Cygnus Ed on the Amiga and is by far my preferred editor.

I think GEdit is more akin to KWrite than Kate. A true GTK alternative to Kate would be Geany in my opinion. It also has block selection mode ;-)

The idea of creating templates is really annoying, they should at least leave some files here, but once you "get it" it's ok! You put only the necessary. Yeah, Nautilus is too "featureless", but it's rock solid. I had so many bugs on Dolphin and Thunar which makes me feel ok with it. I didn't like GNOME 3, but I tried GNOME 41 on Fedora 35, with the initial idea of using the less extensions as possible (I only use that sound switcher, which should be default and now I need to use GSConnect too). And boy, now I'm a huge fan of it, I completely understand what they want to do, they are really brave with their decisions. I discovered that I don't need a panel or dock everywhere, sometimes I open a ton of windows, it's a lot easier to find a specific window using the "Activities" menu. I don't need icons on the desktop too, it's easier to find on Activities, and If I need a specific folder, I just use the bookmark on Nautilus. About GEdit, yeah, Kate is a lot better. To be honest, Kate is one of most powerful tool on KDE, pretty underrated.

That's because gedit it's simple text editor, like nano or windows (htfu) notepad. Kate is code editor/IDE

Have you checked Haiku OS? 😄

About Nautilus capability to create a new file, you first need to put the template in the "Template" folder, so it will create a option to create a new file in the right click dropdown. Anyway, this happens in Nautilus 41 or lower. Apparently they are changing this behavior in Gnome 42 (Nautilus 42) and it will show an option to create a new file.

But it would be so much better to be that simple by default, yet powerful when needed. We don’t have to sacrifice one for the other.

Default for TAB is eight characters. It's not weird, it's the standard. E.g. Wikipedia "These were manually set to match the pre-printed forms that were loaded into the printer. In practice, settable tab stops were rather quickly replaced with fixed tab stops, de facto standardized at every multiple of eight characters horizontally, and every six lines vertically." But then, Wikipedia also mentions "Disagreements between programmers about what size tabs are correct, and whether to use tabs at all, are common." :)

Only thing that bugs me in Gnome is Bluetooth file transfer thing.

I like Gnome a lot, BUT there are some over simplifications, that are really annoying. The creation of new file is enabled just when , text, bash script, html etc, you have to manual put a file of each kind inside the folder $HOME/Templates. And will not be always Templates in every language, because of the translations (which I never got acustumed to: why note symlynks?). In Brazilian Portugue it is Modelos. Not have volume control of apps handy is VERY annoying. Not have a tray is annoying. And sometimes, like you showed, more clicks instead of making things just simple. Widgets from KDE/Plasma are wonderful. I tested 5.24 and widget would make Gnome so much better, instead of us using extension that break each new release. Gedit has use spaces instead of tabs Preferences -> Editor. But Gedit will go away on Gnome36 replace by Gnome Text ( I think it's the name), which has less features and has no plugin, as Gedit has, to improved as far as I tested.

GNOME is usefull than KDE for me. however both of them really great thanks for develop.

GNOME is really good and polished DE but one thing that absolutely bothers me is how poorly it handles multiple monitors. First of all why don't allow me to have multiple panels on multiple monitors? Second thing is my external display is lagging sometimes for whatever reason because this does not happen on other DEs. Lastly why my games go black screen when they are focused on external monitor. Like what the hell?

The reason you can't create new files is because the /user/templates folders is empty. You have to create your own templates to make files

I lately switched to Fedora KDE for a while. I was so grumpy with how slow and clunky the Discover app is. I'm sorry but showing a progress bar, item placements all are so clunky. At least let the user know what's being downloaded. Or what's happening so it doesn't look like it's stuck on "Checking for updates". I switched to Manjaro because some other theme bugs and flatpak apps looking alien and so on. So far, KDE Plasma has grown. Wayland scaling is still kinda borked but it's still good. Looking forward to interesting Changes.

Maybe we don't all want to use up our screen width on a for with an if inside it. Maybe some folks like portrait monitors for reading code. 8 is extreme and fights against "don't make lines that are too long" style rules too much.

You have to understand many of those things are user specific. Yes gnome is less customizable. Plasma is very customizable, but thats it's main drawback as well. Whenever I tried to use plasma, I got annoyed by the ugly menus you see basically everywhere. Plasma has many options, but no option to remove the easy access of those options. Gnome is meant to be clean and simple.

SOUND IS TOO LOW PLZ FIX!

just install vscode dude :))

I've basicly only ever used nautilus as a fm, and only just now i noticed you coundn´t create files ahah There should defenatly be an easy option for that without having to open terminal

please bumb your audio, peaks should be between -3 and -6db

Nautilus has scripts, and you can make one to create a new file.

All these fancy KDE shortcuts are nice until you need to install and use some input method to enter Japanese or Chinese. Then suddenly you realise how bad it is implemented in Plasma - one have to create some really odd key combinations to switch between 3 languages one of which is controlled by IME, without having those combinations clashing with Plasma standard shortcuts like Ctrl+Shift+whatnot. The main advantage of Gnome for me is that it treats input methods as just another keyboard layout, a bit complex one, but still. If Plasma had a similar feature, then a point of having cool Kate shortcuts would've been valid.

But it is not only related to KDE is it ? I guess it's a pain in the a** for a lot of computing things for non latin writers.

Go on 42 release and if you really like extensions try this one “just-perfection” About your text file, gnome have another way of thinking, for example open your lovely text editor, on that environment gedit is preferred type your thoughts and save where you want. It seems like your mind set don’t get the idea of gnome environment.

That sucks, I have used Audacious for years and with gnome 3 when I select 10 mp3s from nautilus and add them to Audacious then Audacious opens only the last one. Audacious had a lot of bug reports because of this. The Audacious developer had said please open bug reports to nautilus. Its nautilus problem, gnome devs don't want to open files direct from file manager. I can't understand really who from gnome devs had though yea it is a good idea ,you have to only open files from app an not from file manager. I used to love gnome but I can't use it anymore.

@@linkdesink i agree with this, there are some things about gnome which when I see it, I wonder "what on earth were the devs thinking implementing it like this". I still use gnome though, maybe will make the jump to KDE in the future.

Things that I dislike about GNOME: Why no notifications?? Why I can't drop things on the desktop?? Thumbnails?? Yes I know there are extensions, but those are simple things
