Do you really want Microsoft and IBM to control every decision about Linux's design?Last edited by k1e0x; 10 November 2020, 02:02 PM.

Canonical got that right and that's why Ubuntu is really great at what it does. They listen. To users, not to the kind of protective upstream whiners looming around here.
I get the feeling that you're one of those people who have been spending a lot of time telling people to be angry about desktop icons instead of telling people how incredibly easy it is to get desktop icons. Maybe that's because you don't know how incredibly easy that is, in which case you're just one of those people who makes angry statements instead of asking questions. Either way, you're a much bigger part of the problem than Gnome is.
User A: Hmm. They removed desktop icons? I liked those. I can I get them back?
User B: Mate's fork of Nautilus still supports them and other features people miss in newer versions of Nautilus. sudo apt remove nautilus && sudo apt install caja.
If this is really the thing you've spent months or years of your life being angry about, you should really evaluate how you're spending your time. Personally, I prefer Caja to Nautilus anyway, because I disagree with several design decisions in newer versions of Nautilus. For instance, I use Unity and Caja still supports the menus that allows me to use the HUD, which Nautilus does not.
But knowing that it only takes a few seconds to improve that very small part of my life, you really cannot get me very upset over it. You don't even mention the solution, do you, you only use data as a method to cause FUD.

Because why would I need a minimize/maximize button? /s

No, I don't, actually. You can explain why a new display server _must_ declare its internal protocols rather than using public APIs for software developers to rely on. You seem absolutely certain that this is a critical difference, but you haven't made any attempt to explain why you think that. How am I supposed to know what you mean when you keep it a secret?
