  • Introducing GNOME 46, "Kathmandu"
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Mar 2024
    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.

  • Vala Programming Language
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Jul 2022
    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.
