From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I cannot even begin to describe what a dumb take this is. I really hope i's satire
*he says as GNOME is literally THE desktop to go against EVERY OTHER DESKTOP on Wayland issues and to keep on delaying major fixes further for bullshit reasons. Delaying or not adding features users want, for ideological reasons is the exact reason that Wayland is still not ready even though development started in 2008.
Gnome does break extensions from time to time. They extension developers just fix it.
Gnome is not a good fit for everyone. KDE is good for people who want high levels of customization and Xfce4 is good for people who want a simple configurable desktop.
There is also gnome soft forks like Cinnamon that try to create a Win 7 feel. My point is Gnome is good for me and others but it doesn't work for everyone. To say it is the only option is wrong.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I think its really about wanting to just get things done instead of fixing/encountering bugs like sleep/back screen. KDE should review their priorities. But I guess its coming, you cant add new features at infinitum.
Pano clipboard broke
Gnome 43 is old at this point. That's why nothing breaks.
The only time extensions break is when the release is very new or when an extension is not maintained
If anyone is circle jerking it is you. KDE and gnome fit two different use cases.
