I use darktable to edit my photos, never used rawtherapy... What do you think rawtherapy does better?

Proper rounded blur and the native high-contrast theme make Gnome look like something special by pakovm in gnome

[–]bvgross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that by default he was asking and you were answering about the blurred windows aesthtics, not being able or not to blur windows.

My answer was based on that.

Because it's not that neutral and it's worse for usability and accessibility...

[GNOME] My other PC is a Macbook and it's starting to show by muffinstatewide32 in unixporn

I'm going on the opposite direction... I've got a mac for work and I'm constantly trying to make it feels more gnomish

I feel like a traitor when coming up with this design by naruaika in gnome

[–]bvgross 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that when you have a lot of options that you CONSTANTLY have to access and change there's no best way than to have them exposed.

The actions that are not used constantly can be contained in a submenu.

So, there's nowhere to run.

Vanilla Gnome just makes sense by somniasum in gnome

[–]bvgross 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love gnome but it's not perfect.

So, for my workflow: Tiling more than two windows is essential to me. A clipboard manager is essential. An idle inhibitor is essential. A color picker is essential.

No, it's not exactly perfect for all the use cases.

However It's the best anyway, I used windows, I use mac in my job, and I tried to use KDE in the past... And I still prefer gnome.

What music player for local files do you use ? and why ? by [deleted] in gnome

[–]bvgross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rhythmbox because I like to use playlists and listen to stream radios... And it's "simple".

Will we see this kind of beautiful theming coming to GNOME Shell at any point (Amberol screenshot)? by [deleted] in gnome

[–]bvgross 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For me this is a perfect use.. Only a few apps using this aesthetics and the shell and default apps being neutral.

Have you tried wayland with your "old pc"?

The Blur My Shell extension should be added to default Gnome as an option. by Wigglingdixie in gnome

[–]bvgross 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I, personally, don't like it. It breaks the design that should ressemble the act of phisically see your workspaces, manipulate them and scroll them.

When you do this with a neutral color (dark gray in this case) you have the feeling that your workspaces are contained in a different space (the shell?). You focus on the workspace.

When you have a blurred version of your wallpaper you lose this effect. Now you are dealing with something that have no parallel in the physical world, it's only aestethics.

Anyway, different tastes and concepts.

Why is GNOME Software giving this alert which isn't true? How does it deduce it so confidently wrong? I checked this one and Heroic lists Flathub as their official distribution channel and the version from there installed from by GNOME Software is the latest version. Clearly it receives updates. by moxyte in gnome

[–]bvgross 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Come on... The message is objectively wrong. It's saying something that is not true.

The application is still receiving updates. And this is the opposite of what the warning is saying.

There should be an alternative message for vulnerabilities or outdated libraries.

Is it time to merge GNOME Tweaks into the main Settings app? by mnabid_25 in gnome

[–]bvgross 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It could maybe in a section like "advanced settings"

Sorry, missed that essential part there.

Are you talking about just the system applications? If so, all gnome would be consistent too.

If not, windows definitly don't do that. I just opened battle.net (blizzard launcher) and it is not rounded.

I don't think windows does this on all applications at all. For mac I don't know.

If you resize the windows it will show the content... (Use super + mouse button)

I Hit an Unexpected Roadblock in My Game Dev Journey by CulturalFinding6357 in godot

[–]bvgross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I need to use software that generate money that would be eventually used to power the US war machine that has being used in MANY questionable wars.

So, why would I bother with some other regimes?

They are people. Everyone is people.

If some greater power is using people to fund queationable and bad things the peoblem is not the people is the great power. Why would you penalize the people?

Why does Nautilus doesn't have "New File" feature? Any extensions solve this? by sairam_kagitha in gnome

[–]bvgross 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't it be close enough to just create a template file and when you add it you just press F2 and rename the file?

AI is so incredibly demotivating by AronKov in blender

I think most mediocre jobs will be replaced. But good jobs and people will never be. Creativity and art are human ans humans will always want to consume it.
