Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

GNOME has been heading in the direction of "these apps will not run elsewhere without GNOME, and will have a very particular, hard to modify look and feel" for quite some time at this point, so they're at least as bad.
That's largely why the Linux Mint team have been forking a lot of GNOME apps into their X-Apps project, so that in theory, those apps will continue to run anywhere, and look somewhat OK, regardless of desktop environment.
In hindsight, their choice of the letter X has aged rather poorly (any association to X11 was tenuous even at the outset, and then there's the whole Twitter thing), but the project is still a noble one.
