2 other responses I got confirmed that such thing happens and you say otherwise. Doesn't Gnome breaks third party extensions that provides users basic functionality that should be in gnome in the first place but the devs don't want to implement? Is the meme wrong?
Yes, it is.
Who gets to decide what's "basic" functionality? Each desktop's team has their vision for what they want to implement. Something that might be basic to one person might not be in someone else's vision or...
...is being worked on but needs design. GNOME is design-oriented. It doesn't matter how much you scream that something needs implementing if no one designs how that implementation will work and why it should be implemented in the first place. It's not about "not wanting", it's about making sure that when something is implemented, that it'll work well both now and in the future.
I guess congratulations on proving the point I made on my other post?
That's just FOSS in general. If you don't like something, you create a fork or use something else.
Nah, GNOME is worse mostly because it's the default on a ton of distros, so them having this attitude actively get's in the way of cross-desktop development instead of just being annoying.
Yeah, and when you do, it's because you don't like things about the original, and here people are saying what they don't like.
Nobody disagrees that you can choose something else, but that's not a reason to be uncritical.
