Any other distro already has it?

How can we check if we make use of it on our system?

Until extensions are updated.

It's not like many users have ever cared about CLAs, it's just a nice to have (that shouldn't get in the way of convenience and usability), so we can...

Same here. It clearly seems more featured, more flexible, better suited to be tailored by the end user. Of course you could say that for anything that's...

This has nothing to do with Unity. Unity was clearly better in my opinion, but I'm only talking about Gnome here. How much of a disappointment it is and...

I really hope so.

I've had my current Asus laptop with a low end APU A4-3300M (already weak at the time of purchase) for 9 years. Fortunately...

I'm not salty because of the replacement, but by the terrible quality of what it was replaced by. 100x less good (in my opinion).
I'm salty as anyone...

Cheap? At this price, this is mid-tier to top-tier.
Anything above 150 $ can't be considered cheap anymore. 90% of people won't buy a GPU above...

i just ordered a new laptop with a 4700U inside.
Should I regret buying a CPU generation that will be old news in one month time?

It's just the reality of how it is. Whether you accept it or not is a different story.

First Gnome is a lot of NIH. Don't even dare to use...

You should probably stop trying. You're not kidding anyone.

That's quite the simplistic assumption.


Again that's simplistic. If you go there, I could just as easily say devs only switch between...

You seem to speak from experience and I'm sure you have seen plenty. I still think you overestimate the will of average Joe's to delve into this and find...

[Mez']

Average Joe's almost only use the keyboard for typing. So this is irrelevant.
I am an average Joe and I remove both hands from the keyboard as soon...

All these wide diagonal movements from your current position in an app to Activities on the upper left corner to the dock on the far bottom and again...

I agree with you. But I've always been on the pragmatic side.
Would it be better if we can slowly adopt a different standard that is free and open...

Agreed.
Which is why I also just bought the Aura 15 laptop from Tuxedo Computers (my 9 yo Asus laptop will finally retire). Their Linux support...

By being thrifty i meant buying cheap HDMI cables such as Amazonbasics or doubtful chinese brands that advertise HDMI 2.0/2.1 at an abnormaly affordable...

I don't see the point of this. There's still a cable running, and I would have to buy 2 intermediate devices that cost more than my HDMI cable and eat...

What people are saying is actually more pragmatic. Since TVs, AV receivers, older PC monitors (still worth 10 more years), projectors, BR players, etc......
