   Gnome notifications are actually pretty obnoxious. Large notifications right in the top center of the screen. Would be a lot better if the notifications were smaller, more discreet, and off to a corner somewhere or something.

     @adiz@soc0.outrnat.nl GNOME is literally made for smartphones at this point

     @yakumo_izuru@misskey.m544.net Basically, yes. It is very nice on my 2-in-1 device. I really wish they did more to improve the virtual keyboard and touch functionalities to behave more like a tablet if they're going to continue going in this direction. It'd make sense to go "all in" on it vs. half-assing UI/UX as both a traditional computer interface and a touch-friendly, handheld-friendly interface.

     @adiz@soc0.outrnat.nl meanwhile I'm literally stuck in the past in terms of workspace, lol, GTK3 for me looks very out of place as it is on my environment

     @adiz@soc0.outrnat.nl as for what current GNOME uses (GTK4), I avoid it like the fucking plague

     @yakumo_izuru@misskey.m544.net What DE do you rock? I use KDE at home, and KDE is super solid as well. But, with their newest Plasma release they really screwed up a lot of their mobile support features. Screen wouldn't auto-rotate anymore, touch control/gestures were failing, and I've never been able to get a virtual keyboard to work on KDE. My laptop is a 13-inch 2-in-1 device---I often pitch it up "tent" mode for content consumption at night in bed---so Gnome actually works really well for interfacing with it like that.

     @adiz@soc0.outrnat.nl It was love at first sight (I also learned a lot about NeXTSTEP) and so far nothing ever beats it in appearance to me

     @yakumo_izuru@misskey.m544.net You're rocking GNUstep??? That's so rad! Haha I didn't even know it was still supported.

     @adiz@soc0.outrnat.nl Debian (yeah I know you don't use it) has near perfect support for it, and as far as I know it's packaged everywhere (except for Arch)

     @yakumo_izuru@misskey.m544.net I don't think it's even an option for my distribution unless somehow installing it from source or whatever whatever. My love is Haiku/BeOS. I really wish there was a Linux DE that adopted its aesthetic and design and functionality. But, I'm not super picky. I do appreciate the level of polish and functionality provided by Gnome and KDE.
