Are you telling I am an idiot? Instead, I suggest you to trash everything programmed with Gtk3 (and Gtk4).

Well. You sound like one.

Understood.

Unity8 would have been a complete rewrite of Unity.

I don't see much of a parallel there. The main reason Canoncial abandoned Unity8 development is that they decided to go in a completely different direction across the board (moving away from phones and "convergence" into more profitable areas).

[Compartmentalisation]

There are always so many angry Linux users. Comments are rarely about the content or the software, it's always about their little clique or something. The huge noise to signal when wanting to read up on changes/improvements are very annoying.

I wonder why people even bother writing OSS

[sarmad]

sarmad you want the native frame rate, not coarse 60 Hz.

What do you mean by native frame rate? How can frame rate not be native?

DanL Canonical abandoned Unity8 after serious setbacks and several years of delays. They were too optimistic on the new tools and cost of rewriting everything. The project should have been axed much earlier.

No. Canonical abandoned Unity8 because they abandoned the phone market and moved towards more profitable endeavors (server and IoT). The situation isn't comparable to GNOME's.
