Steam-250 VS cinnamon

Steam 250 [0] lists the top-rated games. You can filter by tags, price, date; but the most interesting category for me is the "hidden gems".

You can try sites like https://steam250.com/ or https://howlongtobeat.com/ to see popular games of your choosing or you can use https://www.lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam/store/ to use better filtering on games to search similar tags that the games you listed in common.

Steam 250: This curator even has its own website. They have some algorithm separate from Valve to determine the top 250 games on Steam by user reviews. Additionally, they have the top 250 Hidden Gems - These are the top rated games with under 500 reviews. I've found many games with 99-100% ratings that hardly anyone has heard of and I absolutely adored. They also have an informational review for items that were previously Top 250/Hidden Gems. I really value their recommendations being on my homepage, and in the absence of curators I don't think I would have found many of these games.

use the tags on https://steam250.com/

omfg are you kidding? Portal 2 is literally the highest rated game of all time on steam: https://steam250.com/

Many mobile apps are written in JS/TS with React Native.

Linux desktop environments like Cinnamon [1] also use JavaScript for the UI. Linux Mint with Cinnamon is invariably among the top 3 Linux desktop distributions (on distrowatch [2]).

If anything, stats probably don't accurately capture how ubiquitous JS is.

Will it be ported to Gutter and Cinnamon? There's a feature request open from 2022 but no answer https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/11141

I agree that there is a balance between customization and "cleanness" in design and implementation.

However, I think the GNOME 3 and 4 designers went too far and alienated many users:

When a designer's "coherent vision" eclipses the needs of the software's users then users get frustrated and either fork the project or go to another project. MATE (https://mate-desktop.org/), Cinnamon (https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon), and Unity (https://unityd.org/) exist largely because of how far the GNOME 3 designers went and how they were not willing to compromise their "coherent vision":

I'm not sure what the devs want to see in a case like this, but I'd try to report it either on the LinuxMint-Forums or on the cinnamon issue tracker on github.

And I read Cinnamon being not yet out with a Wayland session as meaning that it’s in the works, but according to the Cinnamon team, “We still don't have any specific plans for implementing Wayland support…and we're not in a hurry to do so” (https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/10787)

Mind you, it's much easier to crash a Wayland compositor than an X11 window manager because so much more has to be done in the compositor process; Cinnamon devs mentioned this flaw as a major reason they won't support Wayland yet, because if a panel widget crashes, it will also crash the entire desktop.

I tried a few searches through open cinnamon issues but nothing really stood out yet OTOH, I know some of the recent changes to Nemo/Cinnamon had caused issues which I've run into myself in F37 (such as the new themes, some Nemo drag-and-drop issues, and another issue with Nemo's input focus when clicking the toolbar button to a new folder while you are renaming a file) so still plausible this could be a Cinnamon-specific bug.
