kde at least let you add themes and you're encouraged to make the DE yours. Why are faggnomes so against FOSS and theming compared to other desktop enviroments?
look at pic related, is literally and absolutely souless (as if it was made by a jews for goys).

Looks way better than everything else. Knly problem is the app menu, which can easily be replaced with an extension.

GNOME is FOSS in name only, FOSS is not a license, its a mindset that GNOME devs do not share in the slightest. GNOME is easily the most antiFOSS "FOSS" software out there.
FOSS is about empowering the user, which isn't just done with source code. nuGNOME is made by retards who are so bad to even get a job at big tech as a diversity hire so they took a otherwise once good desktop that did respect FOSS ideals into their shitty OS X clone.
GNOME is everything wrong with FOSS, they always go out of their way to make it even more unusable than previously imaginable then gaslight users about it, I do not for a second belive that any of them believes or respects even the word of the FOSS licenses they use let alone the spirit, its just a they took what they could get kind of situation, had it been up to them it would be closed source just like everything else is about GNOME. GNOME is a plague on Linux and FOSS and the involved people need to be removed to prevent further harm to the wider FOSS ecosystem.
MATE could never happen today, it would get the Xlibre treatment.
I bet without exception every GNOME maintainer mains FagBooks just like nuMS employees.
Red Hat and Canonical love GNOME for a reason.

What? GNOME is still FOSS. It is still 100% legal to fork it. I guarantee you that if some team forked GNOME and made the killer Linux desktop, it would get incorporated into distros.
>it would get the Xlibre treatment
Xlibre hasn't yet proven itself. And from what we have seen from its creator so far, it never will.

Because GNOME is corporate Linux. GNOME and Wayland are designed to be restricted and safe for enterprise machines.

Bro are you retarded? GNOME doesn't decide what distros ship. Fedora ships the Extensions app by default. Another distro might not. This isn't hard to understand.
