GNOME optimizing the UI for tablet and touch screen use, while that’s a fringe of its user base.

Actually it's optimized for touchpad and keyboard.

That's not what Linux devs look like. Pretty sure the extensions breaking is because the last dev arguing to keep the relevant API in the feature deprecation thread fell asleep at 4am trying and failing to make a proof-of-concept build with both systems to show how they could coexist.

I miss the days when updates didn't break things, and everything was always backwards compatible. Updates rarely even bring anything exciting these days either, so it's even worse that it breaks everything.

It's usually OK, just stay a release behind

This picture smells pleasant so, yes, clearly not Linux devs

Clearly they're the managers who told the devs to break all of your extensions.

Step 1: Break Extensions
Step 2: ?

You're missing the part where GNOME single-handedly holds back the development of Wayland and fuck things up for everyone with their "no server-side decorations" policy: https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-408

Looks like two Karens being talked into joining Cryptobro’s pyramid scheme.

It's nice to know you can just used another GUI. There's like 10 decent options.

There's exactly 2 desktop environments that support the current display protocol decently.
