    Unfortunately for Microsoft there aren’t any big UI or UX changes in Plasma 6. Guess they’ll have to wait to steal ideas for Windows 12.

    And Apple as well should toss their stage manager into the trash and implement a clone of forge GNOME extension.

          Ehh, I will use it for as long as it works, but it seems like if no one volunteers to become a maintainer, the project will be archived.

            👀 Edit: I appreciate the thoughts very much, but after first look, forge seems to me more my taste. I still will watch it.

            In fact, I tested that, and it is very great work. For me, it is visually not as appealing as Gnome with forge… And I understand that it makes sense to abandon the extension way and go for own DE with such a gigantic change of behavior of Gnome. Extension are just not made for that drastic changes which material shell is/was doing in gnome.

            I’ll check what happens with forge and maybe fork it, if it really gets unmaintained.

    I’ve seen the sneak peek of windows 12 (if that were true), it looks like gnome I think

      None of it is ever real. People post a ton of “concept” previews, that never look anything like the final product, because M$ are more concerned with selling your data, than making a functional OS

          My prediction is that windows 13 will stream from the cloud, your “windows” on your computer will be just a lightweight Linux OS branded by Microsoft to stream a windows VM from azure.

        I’m still waiting for the Libre Office citrus UI… Although LO did manage to get their version of a ribbon into it. It’s still not quite there for me, though. Their icons are not as good and I get lost in their design choices.

      Doesn’t matter that much how it looks. It will be equally annoying and disturbed compared to windows 11, or worse. :)

      Microsoft stopped making operating systems for the user a long time ago.

        This is what happens if you let the services team design the OS, same is happening on iPhones as well, to be fair. On iPhone, it is just a little more decent.

          I personally see iphones as awful and a waste of money.

          You should get a android phone and install Lineage os. F-droid is the only app store you need.

            Yeah, F-Droid sucks. The team makes arbitrary rules for the packages that are not mentioned anywhere on their website and rejecting packages based on said arbitrary rules. Happened to me.

              The rules are fairly clear and are to protect the end users from abuse and anti features. F-droid doesn’t just deny you for no reason.
