(Gajim was gnomed since June actually, Void Linux repos didn’t update to the new iteraction until a few days ago though so I wasn’t aware.)
Gajim was the best XMPP client for desktops, with a nice UI and all the features I’d ever need in a messenger (YMMV).
So of course it should have been turned upside-down with a UI redesign that removes compatibility with GTK3 themes while also looking extremely out of place on my system. Modern GUI design suck SO MUCH.
Yeah that’s exactly it.
Cinnamon and Xfce still exist though. It’s not like gtk3 is suddenly out of use.
That’s true, however the GNOME maintainers will drop support for it at some point. I guess Cinnamon or xfce could maintain their own forks, however the majority of apps target what GNOME is currently using given it’s the most popular desktop environment.
I thought this post was referring to the “gnomed” phenomenon where people boot up their pc and all of a sudden it loads up the gnome DE, without having it installed previously lol
Whaat, that can happen??
I’m not sure what the cause is exactly. Some say it’s user error and they just didn’t realize they had done something wrong, but i’m pretty sure there’s an entire subreddit dedicated to it lol. My guess is maybe you install a package that pulls in the entire gnome desktop as a dependency, but i don’t think that would make it boot into gnome by default just because you have it installed.
