Introducing GNOME 46, "Kathmandu"
Oh yeah, no. Multiple entire desktop environments with significant popularity (Cinnamon, MATE) owe their existence today to how universally hated GNOME 3 was, and how obstinant and intolerant the GNOME developers were towards differing opinions that challenged their "vision".
In fact, the same thing is sorta playing out even right now with GTK4 and other GNOME stuff, though I think with somewhat less public spectacle but arguably even larger development efforts behind it:

Start menu icon
Other editions of Solus use Papirus icons (https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/releases), and the Budgie project created its own menu icon recently: https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/blob/main/data/icons/actions/budgie-menu-symbolic.svg

I Still Use Windows 95 (archived, 2008)
Budgie might be worth checking out (I've used it on Manjaro): https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop It was extremely responsive on a 2009 laptop.
Otherwise whatever AntiX and Puppy use, which are mouse-driven UIs, are probably lower-resource than Budgie.

Fedora 37 is GO
This is the way: https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/wiki/Budgie-Desktop-on-Fedora
- Is the Budgie team still considering moving from GTK to EFL(Enlightenment toolkit)?

what is the status of budgie DE?
You might try asking at their official GitHub page or read thru the wiki there and see if it gives some info.

don't get me wrong, Linux is great and it's my daily driver, but... who pays for everything?
You claim that Solus doesn't have any, but the budgie desktop has over 70 different contributors. https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/graphs/contributors

Vala Programming Language
I just learned that the Budgie Desktop is written in Vala.
https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop
Also, on Arch I use Pamac as a GUI for package management and it is written in Vala as well.
I have used apps for quite a long time before realizing they were written in Vala. Not great for marketing but otherwise I would consider that one of its strengths.

Why does part of the Windows 98 Setup program look older than the rest?
SerenityOS replicates that look and feel. It is also implemented in a dialect of C++ that adheres to some of the good parts of C++98: https://serenityos.org

XZ: A Microcosm of the interactions in Open Source projects
One example of a useful technique
https://serenityos.org/ apparently only makes source code available. There are no binary images of the OS to install
I think Andreas said this functions like a little test -- if you're not willing to build it from source, then you probably wouldn't be a good contributor anyway.
---
Likewise, my shell project provides source tarballs only, right now - https://www.oilshell.org/release/0.21.0/
It is packaged in a number of places, which I appreciate. That means some other people are willing to do some work.
And they provide good feedback.
I would like it to be more widely available, but yeah I definitely see that you need to "gate" peanut gallery feedback a bit, because it takes up a lot of time.
Of course, it's a tricky balance, because you also want feedback from casual users, to make the project better.

Fuzzing Ladybird with tools from Google Project Zero
Indeed, given the existence of `JS::NonnullGCPtr`, `JS::GcPtr` intentionally corresponds to a nullable pointer, so it seems dangerous to convert one to a reference without a null-check.
That said, a naive code search finds what *may* be more cases of this pattern:
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ASerenityOS%2Fserenity+%2F...
Eg: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/a68b134e6dea5065... -> https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/a68b134e6dea5065...
In some of those search results, it is fine because there is a preceding null-check, and obviously I know nothing about this code other than this naive search result, but perhaps it would be prudent to vet all of them.

The Ladybird Browser Project
It is a SerenityOS project. You can find the answer to that question in their primary project's FAQ[1].

The best way to write proper exception free C++ is not to use the C++ Standard Library.

Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
My contributions to SerenityOS[0] helped me get my current job. My team lead (who was also my interviewer) was interested in what I did since I listed some of it in my CV, and I showed him some PRs I made and explained what went into each of them. It was really exciting because I didn't have professional experience with low-level development, and basically got the job due to hobby programming.
