Is it allowed to make memes about the last update?

I'm not trying to make fun of the devs, I just think if the DEs were people, it would be funny

drama the pseudo-Warhols in the background along with the nonplussed blonde woman really adds a dimension🙂

I can't see how this in any way relates to the last update. I must be missing something.

WetGeek, I mean, not today's, but last Friday's. It's pinned as important, but what I saw as a problem as a Gnome user was the File Roller out of theme and not working Drag and Drop with Nautilus

Probably Budgie users saw more apps out of theme due to new apps becoming GTK4

That explains my confusion. I'm a Plasma user, so I wasn't exposed to any of that.

drama so um that sounds like not to be a solus thing, more a gnome thing

I'd say it's the blond lady to the right, the one no one notices. 😆

brent

tomscharbach Mate's the one giving CPR to Budgie.

Yes. What's new. Every release is a disaster. I have too much work to do so I am back on Fedora (Gnome 42.4) until the dust clears.

riffer rofl, have fun, just make sure you install every single codec individually to get media working.

I won't ever use Fedora again. It was my first installation of Linux for about two months in 2018. I spent the entire two months trying to figure out how to get a VPN to work (had only ever installed NordVPN using the Windows app before that) and after two months I found out it was a bug in Fedora that was causing VPNs to not install properly without specific manual configuration.

Fedora Gnome was a beautiful and amazing desktop experience but the media codecs and stupid bugs (since its RHEL beta) made me find Solus.

Also: I've had the same exact installation of Solus Budgie installed and running since 2018. I've encountered three issues that would have borked my system on any other distribution (I've tried dozens on my other laptop, I've borked them all) but not one issue has proved to be unfixable.

Solus Budgie has issues now because Red Hat was bought by IBM and and the paid employee on the Gnome project is paid by Red Hat. Kthxbai.

Cinnamon is in the house next door wondering what all the noise is about.

DASK Actually Cinnamon is the house next door built with a Ubuntu roof with people living in it that are spending a ton of time and money putting on a new roof made out of Debian.

Would you consider connecting the dots? I understand how changes to Gnome and the stack are negatively affecting Budgie implementations, and I can understand how Gnome would develop along lines consistent with Gnome alignment with enterprise-level requirements (given TGF's close ties to Canonical, Google, Microsoft, Red Hat, SUSE and others), but I don't understand the connection between Budgie's issues and a Red Hat employee working on the Gnome Project.

jrsilvey media codecs and stupid bugs

Yessss, that media codecs thing annoy me so much. I couldn't open twitter and look at funny memes right away??? What's up with all that youtuber and podcaster recommend Fedora for beginneer. "You don't have to open terminal" they say,. Flathub is filtered, media codecs must be installed from third party repo, dnf has gigantic metadata. Also, for some reason I couldn't run games properly with Fedora on my (old) machine. So much problems.
