New GNOME dialog on the right:
Apple's dialog:
They say GNOME isn't a copy of macOS but with time it has been getting really close. I don't think this is a bad thing however they should just admit it and then put some real effort into cloning macOS instead of the crap they're making right now.
Here's the thing: Apple's design you'll find that they carefully included an extra margin between the "Don't Save" and "Cancel" buttons. This avoid accidental clicks on the wrong button so that people don't lose their work when they just want to click "Cancel".
So much for the GNOME, vision and their expert usability team :P
Both designs are good imo. Adding the extra space for the "cancel" button could cause a copyright claim so I think that's a viable reason why it's absent in GNOME. And I don't see anything wrong in copying Apple design. They can do what they want and the new design is very nice in terms of ease of understanding and accessibility potentials. GNOME's workflow is similar to Apple's so why not copy some more things for better consistency?
What ahaha since when a modal is copyrighted? I don't buy it, this is simply poor design by the GNOME team.
Exactly my point, but they should learn how to properly copy things. Or at least think about them, Apple didn't add the margin for no reason.
I get it that you hate this design and its obvious strong inspiration by Apple but accusing GNOME team in being lazy is too much. They created the most popular and one of the most stable DEs on Linux and their own workflow that's similar to Apple's but still is unique. Also when I saw that new design, I was amazed. To me it looks really great. It's going to be a good update with accent color support (I won't fight about it ok?) for sure. It's just a matter of preference. Both designs are good enough technically imo.
Citation very much needed
Hardly, but I'm guessing you're thinking of reliability instead. Not really surprising when it's so stripped down that vanilla GNOME is pretty much unusable. When you extend it, in order to get a proper DE, that goes right out the window.
That fact makes it especially funny that vanilla GNOME is by far the fattest DE around. How it manages to use up more resources than KDE is beyond me.
Ubuntu, RHEL and Fedora use it as the default and they are very big distros. Idk if it's enough but that's what I know.
Idk. KDE was unstable for me and it always has bugs after major releases. They should test things better.
Personal opinion.
Deepin.
You have a point here. Qt is better in terms of efficiency afaik and performance is extremely important for an OS component. But hey at least it's getting better over time.
I mean, that's pretty irrelevant. If you were for example at least comparing the downloads of fedora Vs spins, that would be a beginning of something.
In case it wasn't obvious: stability is not reliability
So does GNOME, especially when you have a lot of extensions
KDE is pretty crap in both regards
Is that why every distro comes with vanilla GNOME? Oh wait...
Meanwhile over the years KDE got lighter than GNOME while constantly piling on features.
This is turning into a meaningless argument now. I don't want to continue.
It can happen when you have to develop all your technology on your own instead of relying on the work of a hundred-million dollar company that does the heavy lifting for you.
