Seems frivolous, but I see the purpose from a multi-monitor panorama wallpaper aspect. I wonder how hard it would be to write a shell extension to do this.
Yeah MATE is lighter but the margin is small since it’s basically GNOME 2.
Still is almost as light performance and memory footprint wise when talking about GNOME 46.
Base GNOME isn’t much larger than MATE.

Good S0ix support. At the moment, Linux mostly fails to sleep correctly on modern S0ix laptops, which happens to be most modern laptops.
This means the battery drains incredibly fast, and S0ix features aren’t being used, which is unfortunate as it has potential for quick wake, lid closed actions and limiting battery drain while asleep (since S0ix can eventually hibernate automatically from a sleep state)
Also the boot loader could be improved, systemd-boot needs to support secure boot natively so we can be rid of the slow, ancient and scary-looking GRUB.
ITT: It’s sketchy and will possibly mess with your Wayland set up.
Ah yes, the RCS problem. Thanks for the clarification!
tl;dr why have they taken a stance against it?
What if they were all female?
Nah, I don’t want to risk accidentally getting a codec-less version, they never worked for their intended purpose in my experience, they’re basically bricked.
Mind you, the vast majority (if not the entirety) of what I interact with uses non-free codecs.
I honestly kinda wish someone made Fedora, exactly as it is, with the exception that it has non-free codecs pre-installed and available without having to faff.
There’s no way to otherwise make this work for many users. They can use Tor if they’re worried.
You’re talking about extensions.
Extensions that don’t come from GNOME are not supported at all, they’ve made that clear. If they wanted to, they could just stop allowing third party extensions altogether.
This is because they hook directly into GNOME Shell’s’ internal JS, which changes every release as they refactor it for performance or feature changes. Developers have a few months before release to adjust their extensions for the newer version.
Personally, I just raw dog vanilla GNOME for stability, and it works fine.
I personally love it, I use Linux for work and I need it to be concise, consistent and stable.
Given its icon, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s religious-themed :P
That’s fair, but they tend to be more right than an LLM :P
I don’t think 201.-9 is a valid IP path 🤔
