Microsoft appears to be blocking even more apps for customizing the user interface in Windows 11 24H2. Users noticed that ExplorerPatcher joined the recently blocked StartAllBack app.
TLDR: StartAllBack, ExplorerPatcher and some other projects are being blocked on 24H2.
What a novel idea. I’m also allowed to have preferences and post them on the Internet. I’m also allowed to have bad takes.
It doesn’t change the fact that GNOME and Windows are defaults in certain spheres of computing. Which tends to people bitching about the choices those projects make. Certainly as a home user I’m not forced to use them but what about as an employee or student. But I’m your worldview I should opt to be homeless and uneducated.
Anyway, my comment wasn’t entirely fuck GNOME. Their design philosophy is minimalism and simplicity sometimes at the behest of options. Which is not unlike the choice Windows made here. However, that’s not too say that it’s always a bad choice, KDE may have too many options. But, yes, I was being a bit tongue in cheek.
Of course you’re allowed to have preferences and talk about it. I encourage you to do so, I love talking about this stuff and I love seeing people do the same.
But it’s really tiring when the conversation, 100% of the time devolves to KDE users hating on Gnome for zero reason. As if there’s only space for one DE and having a choice in the matter is wrong.
If you don’t like Gnome, just don’t use it. And try to accept that just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
Trying to equate Windows being a default with Gnome being a default is crazy and you know it. I’m not even going to bother explaining why, it should be so obvious.
KDE is the default in plenty of situations too. It doesn’t mean it’s forced either.
I also never said you should be homeless or uneducated. Please don’t lie. All I said was that you aren’t forced to use Gnome. Because you aren’t. You’re lying there.
It’s interesting how I never said anything inherently bad about GNOME or good about KDE. I understand the meme is tiring for you and the rest I’ll agree to disagree on. I’m aware open source software is not forcing anything for anyone.
Lastly I’m not lying, it’s hyperbole. I’m just using an extreme example to point out how you’re stonewalling any response given to you with similar bs.
You remarking that Microsoft must have hired Gnome devs was clearly meant as an insult. Don’t play dumb.
You didn’t come onto a submission about MS doing something shitty and say “Microsoft must have hired Gnome devs” as a compliment.
Gnome wasn’t even mentioned, you just shoehorned it in because you wanted to be one of the weird subset of KDE users that get angry that Gnome exists, for some reason.
And again, it didn’t make sense anyway. Gnome is nothing like Windows, it’s KDE and Cinnamon that are Windows UX clones.
Good reply by the way. You really addressed the points lmao. Just a whiney loser who gets butthurt when people use different software/gets his fee fees hurt when devs don’t want to make their project a Windows clone.

Nobody is forcing you to use Gnome.

I don’t even use KDE but go off king. You must be a GNOME dev or something lmao
Mmhmmm k
