Quit calling it anti user. Am I not a user, or I do not count as much as other Linux users because I like GNOME?

There is absolutely nothing wrong in a DE wanting to go their own way instead of supporting any type of weird crazy configuration users might ask for. I want an opinionated desktop environment, I don't go complain to KDE devs that they should get rid of menus and adopt a headerbar because I dislike menus. Yet the opposite happens every time.

GNOME is exploring a UI paradigm different from any other else, and some really dislike them because of it. How dare they, the hubris of these developers!

I'm on 4K at 2x scaling.

Weird, I'm not seeing it, not even with a GPU heavy game being rendered in a window.

> The Linux Desktop deserves better than GNOME

Speak for yourself. I want the macOS lite experience on Linux, not the Windows lite one, thank you very much.

GNOME at least tries to have a cohesive and consistent design, instead of the whole kitchen sink approach of Windows and KDE.

To be fair I have a great deal of appreciation and respect for KDE, but its users are quick to shit on GNOME whenever they can. Nobody is forcing it on you.

I haven't got a single Wayland seg fault since I moved back to Linux in October 2021. Not one.

> go ahead and play a 4k clip on Wayland enabled Firefox then move the mouse pointer, it stutters like crazy.

Either your DE or your Firefox aren't actually using Wayland because for me it's incredibly smooth, and CPU usage is in the low 10%. Fedora 35 on a 6800 XT here.

Firefox still needs tweaks to have actual complete hardware video acceleration.

Manjaro isn't known for its stability. The Linux desktop would have a better reputation if people first tried the big name distros instead of small derivatives.

Fedora 36 releasing next month will ship with Wayland enabled by default for NVIDIA as well.

I play the latest games on my high-end GPU I sold a kidney for, watch 4K movies, use a Sony DS4 gamepad via Bluetooth, with two 4K monitors at 200% scaling and an external USB audio interface with standalone microphone and automated compression, equalization and noise cancellation setup.

You were saying?

> It has some user application UX issues (like Google Chrome mouse scrolls slowly)

Try the "Chromium Wheel Scroll Smoother" extension. It's a hack, but I've managed to make scrolling as fast as Firefox is, which I much prefer.

The "good" releases are good relatively to the crap ones they've succeeded, not on their own. As if they wanted to pay for QA only every other release.

> is there any comparable long-term stable distribution format for Linux games

Only Steam provides such a runtime, but outside of Steam you're out of luck.
