New GNOME dialog on the right:

Apple’s dialog:

They say GNOME isn’t a copy of macOS but with time it has been getting really close. I don’t think this is a bad thing however they should just admit it and then put some real effort into cloning macOS instead of the crap they’re making right now.

Here’s the thing: Apple’s design you’ll find that they carefully included an extra margin between the “Don’t Save” and “Cancel” buttons. This avoid accidental clicks on the wrong button so that people don’t lose their work when they just want to click “Cancel”.

So much for the GNOME, vision and their expert usability team :P

    one of the most stable DEs on Linux

    Hardly, but I’m guessing you’re thinking of reliability instead. Not really surprising when it’s so stripped down that vanilla GNOME is pretty much unusable. When you extend it, in order to get a proper DE, that goes right out the window.

    That fact makes it especially funny that vanilla GNOME is by far the fattest DE around. How it manages to use up more resources than KDE is beyond me.

      Ubuntu, RHEL and Fedora use it as the default and they are very big distros. Idk if it’s enough but that’s what I know.

      Idk. KDE was unstable for me and it always has bugs after major releases. They should test things better.

      Deepin.

      You have a point here. Qt is better in terms of efficiency afaik and performance is extremely important for an OS component. But hey at least it’s getting better over time.

        I mean, that’s pretty irrelevant. If you were for example at least comparing the downloads of fedora Vs spins, that would be a beginning of something.

        1. In case it wasn’t obvious: stability is not reliability

        2. So does GNOME, especially when you have a lot of extensions

        3. KDE is pretty crap in both regards

        Personal opinion.

        Is that why every distro comes with vanilla GNOME? Oh wait…

        But hey at least it’s getting better over time.

        Meanwhile over the years KDE got lighter than GNOME while constantly piling on features.

      It can happen when you have to develop all your technology on your own instead of relying on the work of a hundred-million dollar company that does the heavy lifting for you.
