Thanks to all of Valve's effort with Proton, Steam Deck and their funding of people working on various other bits of Linux code like GPU drivers - the Linux share on Steam as of March 2024 bounced back to a near multi-year high.
Gnome = bad is a common Linux community circlejerk.
People will tell you Linux is about personal choice, but the second you say cool, I’m using flatpaks/Gnome/Wayland/System-D/any other thing that people get upset about, those same people will lose their fucking minds over you having a choice different to theirs.
No need to go as far. Just jail everyone working on Adwaita.
They always acted like the are the only ones in town, but while checking the spelling just now, the first result says “Adwaita (from अद्वैत, meaning “one and only” in Sanskrit)” The serious UX designers were a joke to them from the start.
I love libadwaita/GTK4. All my apps are consistent, look and work in the same way, they all look gorgeous, and there’s extreme attention to detail and adherence to good, well-studied UI paradigms.
Libadwaita has went a long way in making my system feel like one cohesive ecosystem, rather than a smattering of inconsistent, wildly different apps.
Libadwaita and GTK4 is amazing and the developers deserve a lot of praise.
But hey, if you don’t like it, just don’t use it. It’s that easy.
Guys I have a foolproof plan to reach 10%

People forget that freedom is a lie within the natural world. Why do they think they have freedom within the digital realm they all made up?
Because they made it up with freedom
It’s still bound to the natural world, where freedom is a lie
I love Libadwaita. It’s so good I started to use it to develop general cross platform apps
Why? I’ve been happily gaming on gnome for over two years now
