Look, you tried...

...and were found guilty.

My feedback: I wish it was -15 °C... To snuggle up under a bundle of blankets sounds divine. Instead, it's almost midnight where I am and it's still bloody 32 °C.

The UI looks nice, though I've effectively disabled the Overview and replaced it with the ArcMenu on my setup. I've also aligned my common/active applications to the left on my panel rather than centred (so that my pinned applications are always in the same position and don't budge over when I open another program). Rounded corners doesn't do it for me, I try to avoid anything that removes screen real-estate, no matter how minimal. I've also set the bottom panel to auto hide so that it's only visible when I move my cursor at the bottom of the screen. Overall, your setup's pretty nice, though I don't think I like the bright colours for the buttons in the top right of your windows, they're a little distracting. Mine's set so the cross is a washed out red colour, the minimise button is a pale horizontal line, and I don't have a maximise button.

I'm going to install that Weather or Not extension. Thanks.

I agree, but a couple of programs I use were specifically made compatible with Gnome. It only took me three extensions to make my UI look like KDE though, so it wasn't too bad.

That's fair. A couple of programs I use are more compatible with Gnome so I had an incentive to get it working. My desktop is pretty much identical to KDE/Windows with a start menu (ArcMenu extension), a taskbar (Dash to Panel extension) and I've removed all keyboard shortcuts to the Overview eyesore and have prevented it from showing up at launch (No overview at start-up extension).

Thankfully Gnome is ridiculously customisable. The native experience is shit, but installing a few extensions fixes all the issues I had with it at least.

These symbols are getting more messy and difficult to decipher... Someone asked me the other day if I had 5g. I looked at my phone and there was no 3g, 4g, or 5g. So, I just said I have VoLTEBlutoothshaky batteryalarmclockkeyupsidedowntriangle62%.

This is me. It's perfectly fine until something, somehow, goes missing.

Honestly, I consider myself moderately tech savvy. But I also had issues with SecureBoot when installing Linux. It really doesn't help when every single BIOS has different settings and they all want to make everything as poorly worded and unintuitive as humanly possible.

"Oh, you want an on/off toggle for SecureBoot? Sorry, no. Let's just fuck with you until you either brick your motherboard or somehow manage to install Linux."

My congratulations! You've managed to get past the most difficult hurdle.

Years later, and I'm still with Hillary on this one... WHY IS THERE A GARDEN IN THE SINK!?

i.e. cherry picking.

I recently discovered that I can buy, download, and launch games from my Epic Games library without having the Epic Games Bloatware even installed.

Heroic Games Launcher serves as a storefront, installer, and launcher for Epic Games, GOG, and Amazon.

The term is applicable because unless you provided those comments in the order you viewed comments in this post (which was the claim of my initial comment), you specifically sought out comments with the bias you were looking for, disregarding comments that did not fit the narrative.

Good for you

You are either responding to the wrong person or don't know what that word means.

Thanks, but I'm not interested in reading a bunch of cherry-picked comments.

I made no claim that none of the posts the OP was whining about existed, only implied that they were exaggerating as I didn't see a single one while reading every single comment up until I reached OPs.

25 comments in and I haven't seen a single person defend this blatant corruption.

inb4 products that have absolutely no supply chain dependence to China 'somehow' increase in price.

Why is the sand green?

Thank you, this was helpful. I'm also using Pop!_OS, so this reinforces my belief that it's just a graphical issue. I also see this when checking for updates sometimes.
