Here's my two cents, granted this is not going to be an academically backed response, just my personal take. I have had horrible experiences with Matrix/Riot.im. I'm not sure which of those is due to the IRC bridge or which is due to Matrix itself, or which is due to the clients, but I really

I don't like the direction this thread has taken. It has devolved into infighting between one another, and as such I think it best to end it here. People have made their opinions known, and no more minds are likely to be changed in either direction with the tone of the discussion as it is now. On

Good read from a new GNOME user

Ladies and Gentlemen, If we can all take a quick break from discussing Git branch naming, I came across this users' review of GNOME 3.32 after using it for the first time, and I thought he had a pretty well thought out set of criticisms.

How does KDE deal with appindicators? Is there something we could partner with then on? Are they trying to solve this also? Did KDE modify the spec? Not knowing much about the nuance of the different indicator solutions, my experience with kstatusnotifier has been fairly great. 5/6 icons show up

Ok, expanding on Sri's email I think we have two related but separate use cases here: 1) Having an indicator to let us know of running background apps after the window has been closed. 2) Having an indicator that has some level of user interaction, i.e. a messaging app With that said, we have

I don't think that using TopIcons is somehow bad or impure, it is just inconsistent in whether or not it is maintained or not. The fact that we have Topicons, TopIcons Plus, and TopIcons Redux just shows the inconsistency. And our end-users all probably don't know which of the three is the the one

I'm fine with idea of giving it a fresh name. Gitg never really made sense to me, though I never knew the reasoning behind it. GNOME Commits might be clear to all people familiar with git, but for the average user they might think it's an activist app or something. Or like a charity app. This

Just my 2 cents I think one of the bigger issues isn't necessarily the difference between close and quit (though disambiguation would be great), it's instead that since we retired showing appindicators there is now no way of visually knowing if an app is still running or not. Granted, not all
