It’s a known bug from upstream mutter. A fix is being worked on and there’s a PPA with the updated packages by the Ubuntu developer working on the fix. It resolved the problem on my end.

    Yes, and it also uses web technologies to render themes

    As do other DEs to varying extents, including the other “main” DE, KDE Plasma. I don’t really see what your point is there.

    and has zero sense of usability.

    Heavy disagree. The workflow is amazing. To me, using the Windows UX paradigm is clunky and less usable. Gnome is very, very usable.

    Perhaps you mean to say that you don’t like it, which is fair enough for your own tastes, but you aren’t the arbiter of what’s usable and what isn’t.

    Could I just ask what your point is here? I’m refuting the baseless assertion that Gnome is an extremely buggy DE.

    If you don’t like the workflow then fair enough, it’s certainly quite different from the Windows way of doing things that we’re all used to, and you’re entitled to your opinion that it’s not for you, but I don’t see how it’s relevant to my comment?

        C’mon I never said it was buggy

        That’s what this comment chain is about, though, which is why I was asking what relevance your opinion that the workflow is bad has.

        Unfortunately GNOME insists on reinventing the wheel about every two years

        Again with getting further off-topic! What does this have to do with the assertion that Gnome is buggy?

        Not that it’s even true anyway, it’s a total lie. There has been no “reinventing the wheel” since Gnome 3 came out something like 13 years ago — that’s quite a while! But feel free to tell me how Gnome has “reinvented the wheel” recently. I’m all ears.

        What’s the point is in having a well funded team when you want to change network settings and you’ve to go through three different kinds of UIs

        Again, how is this on topic? Did you reply to my initial comment by mistake?

        Again, it’s not even true. There’s one UI in the settings (and across the whole system), I don’t know why you’re making stuff up?

        The rest of your rant seems to be Gnome is inconsistent which is… wow. Gnome is easily the most consistent UX in Linux. Period. Including ChromeOS and Android.

        But again, what does that have to do with the assertion that it’s buggy?

        Bluntly it seems to me like you have a bit of a chip on your shoulder. Maybe some Gnome devs spitroasted your girlfriend, maybe there’s just some insecurity and the need to shit on something other people like in order to justify your own choices.

        I don’t care tbh, I just don’t see the relevance of your rants to my comment or even the comment I replied to.

        Gnome is amazing for me. I don’t want a busy desktop I want simple and elegant.

        You don’t have to like it. There are plenty of other options. Also saying it somehow promotes proprietary software is just downright wrong. You know what promotes proprietary software? People installing proprietary software.
