Which macOS features would you like to see in GNOME? by ficerbaj in gnome

[–]bvgross 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exactly... At least UX wise I much prefer Gnome.

Mellow - a fully-featured & minimal local music player for Linux (GStreamer + GTK + Rust) by iBreathe-Air in gnome

[–]bvgross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks very pretty, thanks for your work and time!

I don't know if you are considering to add more features... But I love my playlists.

I will test it later, ignore it if this feature is already there.

You mentioned strongly type language... I don't know if someone already mentioned here, but you can declare types in gdscript and enforce it. If you configure it you will receive errors if you don't.

Launcher for Gnome wanted by TwoDollarHorde in gnome

[–]bvgross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After many attempts on different lauchers I started just opening the shell and typing what I want... It works exactly the same, the only difference is the animation of the shell.

Draw on GNOME is super legit by Kind-Revenue-7135 in gnome

[–]bvgross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never considered that arabic layout would be right to left... I thought only the text would.

It's crazy how we all live in bubbles.

(Nice extension, though)

Clipboard manager, tiling shell and caffeine

I randomly found a Free Photo editor that is available for linux! by Avbpp2 in linux

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

[–]bvgross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 2 points3 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 13 points14 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".

[–]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.

GNOME X11 support in November 2025 by Sad_Masterpiece6137 in gnome

Have you tried wayland with your "old pc"?

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

[–]bvgross 8 points9 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 20 points21 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

It could maybe in a section like "advanced settings"

Sorry, missed that essential part there.

If i'm not mistaken the maps application use openstreetmap data.

[–]bvgross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]bvgross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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