I really don't care about my OS UI since I'm barely actually using it, especially after a few minutes setting up one-click actions. Less than 1% of my time and effort on the computer.

Applications, on the other hand, is where I live and FUCKING HELL!!!

Look, if everyone just decided on a style and everyone went with it within a system I'd be okay with that. It's not great but at least it wouldn't be jarring.

But having to live by the whim of 50 different app designers is disgusting. I just want to have a good time, not learn 50 different interfaces.

Though my thoughts on it would also stifle new ideas. So that's bad.

Try GNOME/GTK/adwaita apps. They are very consistent.

The GTK file chooser is probably the worst AND most inconsistent example of UX that I've ever seen

Contribute! Maybe you get a part of the 1 million Euro they got from the Sovereign Tech Fund.

Contribute with UX changes? To GNOME maintained software?

When it's an enhancement?

[–] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Enhancement? No, everything I have a problem with is explicitly intended behavior and GNOME devs are infamous for their everyone is stupid except me mentality

Edit, found a neat lil' example:

Does Gnome/GTK have an issue board where users vote on issues?

Free software development is not a democracy, and does not get driven by polls. Features and bugs are introduced by those who show up, within a community that works towards a shared goal.

I don't believe the intentional behavior is desirable and would like to see what other users think.

That's not how anything works.

That's a dick way of saying fuck off but I mean they do provide a free service. If they have a vision and don't want to deal with random people whining about it that's their prerogative. Same as yours to find that utterly insufferable.

They do provide a free service (GTK's file chooser), one that I find horrible and inconsistent (as per the thread) and intentionally so (on issues tangential to example that I found, although the proposed configurable behavior would be nice) - so I won't even entertain the thought of trying and contributing to it, as it has been suggested.

I don't know what is insufferable about that, other than the initial criticism...
