I currently use Gnome, but I’m already looking for a new desktop environment because they have ditched X11 support. I don’t know which DEs are planning to keep it. KDE are also a bunch of loonies who call people “nazis”.

Installing the software doesn’t mean you have to associate with the maintainers, but that kind of mental illness is going to lead to problems. Gnome is already struggling.

I want a desktop environment that supports X11 and is not maintained by mentally ill people. Am I asking too much?

Can't speak for how long, but Cinnamon will be on X11 for the foreseeable future.

That’s good. I was going to try some of the Mint distros. They’re still sane as far as I know.

Clem is a good dude, very level headed in his design. Not sure how I feel about Mint relying heavily on flatpak now, but the alternative is snaps so I understand his choice. Keeping a repo for Mint specifically is too much work for the resources he has.

Alternatively, I know KDE is nutty too, but they tend to make more sense in their design choices for their DE. Kinda hard to escape the looney troons now unless you wanna go straight command line

I’ve considered it.

Isn't it amazing, those who see NAZIs in every dark corner are the ones who would gladly imprison you for "wrongthink."

How did commie faggots take over open source development. Not even 10 years ago you couldn't find a single dev or admin that wasn't a republican or at least would lean in that direction.

I think colleges and universities do a lot to promote open source; including hosting many open source conferences. A lot of people learn about open source software and get involved with it in college. Colleges also spread left wing lunacy. This problem has probably been growing along with that.

Did some more checking. That Cassidy James clown has definitely sucked a dick or 500. Law enforcement should check all his shit. Guaranteed CP on every hard drive he owns.

I am not surprised. Based on what Lunduke showed us the Gnome Foundation is full of people like that.

I never did like GNOME.

The Gnome we have now is fine, but they’re ditching X11 and burning the project to the ground, so it’s time to move on.
