GNOME 3.37.1 Released As The First Step Towards GNOME 3.38
Firefox properly follows GNOME standard in this case. Minimize button can be toggled via Tweaks -> Windows Titlebars.
Ok, gotta toggle the button all the way back then. It used to be possible to right click the titlebar and chose minimize from there, retaining the sleep look of the titlebar. But not anymore. Thanks.
I used to be a Gnome user, but since I've switched to Sway I get annoyed from using Gnome (or any other mouse oriented DE for that matter). (might have to try the tiling extension from Pop!_OS) I only log into Gnome for games that give me trouble on Sway.
I am using a lot of Gnome applications though. For me, GTK applications feel nicer, overall, than QT applications.
Does anybody in their right mind use Maps or Boxes? And maybe even Epiphany? I would guess not, as other solutions are much more featured and advanced.
Instead of dedicating resources to reinvent the wheel with apps nobody uses, and of stripping down features, would it be possible to redirect these resources to make Gnome actually good or even just bearable with less extensions? Some of the extensions are absolute basic stuff any other OS (or DE) offers. Have an extension to move that "bothering the hell out of everyone's" clock in the center is completely insane. To name only one.
Or to Nautilus that almost every Gnome user needs to deal with the shortcomings (just open Nemo or Dolphin to understand). Nautilus is the least professional file manager I know. Even Windows Explorer at work is better, that says enough.
Gnome is once again dispersing resources where nobody asked them to, while at the same time they strip down requested features for "burden of maintenance" reason. Just for gedit here, or desktop icons for some people that have a use of them (I don't), or dual pane in Nautilus, or a decent zoom for folders and files, or an intuitive place for the "add bookmark" (in the path is exactly where I would never expect it). Just use these resources more wisely, for the things that actually matter...
I know what peoole are asking is to no avail, as they don't care much about their users and have their head far buried in the sand.
It's so sad to waste such a good desktop paradigm as Unity/Gnome 3 is. So much potential and so little to deliver because of ostriches. Really frustrating.

Boxes are nice and I'm using it everyday. It gives me every feature I currently need from virtualization like: 3D support for Linux guest, drag and drop files, ability to set number of cores to guest.

Boxes is nice, I love the user interface, but I wish it had more configuration options. (like an input box for the amount of memory/image size, instead of an inprecise slider) I can get around the configuration options by manually editing the files, but the thing that bothers me most is the lack of multi window support. I use up to 4 monitors and sometimes run 3 virtual machines at the same time and the fact that I can't display them simultaniously makes Boxes unusable for me.
What does that sentence exaclty mean? Is it "Wayland in general" not supporting workspaces or is it "Gedit on Wayland" not supporting them? Or, maybe, "Gnome on Wayland"?
I don't know either exactly, but I am on Wayland Gnome and I have workspaces. If I had to guess, it's Gedit on Wayland not supporting them, so the support was removed from the X11 side, so there isn't feature disparity.

I also do use Boxes everyday. Easy and efficient tool to have all your virtual or distant machines (vnc, ssh...) in a single place. If you need more control you still can use virt-manager to manage the VMs you have in Boxes.
I've never followed Wayland developments closely (long time XFCE user), but it's now slowly becoming one of my interersts (dreaming of a switch to something else with Wayland support).

It's mean If you don't be a wayland's follower you'll not be able to write a single line of text. I'm already trembling with fear.

I meant beside Gnome fanboys.
They would sell you an overpriced car with no body, windshield, seats or windows that you'd still buy it, explaining how cool its design is and how you can use it just like that, then asking people to go to third-party pimp shops or garages to get feature parity with other manufacturers.
So please don't take offense when I tell you I'd rather get more reliable opinions.

That can't be. Even for their own standard, not being able to use gedit at all on Xorg would be low. That would be a fatal blow. They're doing everything they can to get people to drop Gnome but they can't possibly push them away that radically.
