![]() The advertised theory is that GTK is agnostic, and libadwaita gets you GNOME HIG stuff, but the fact of the matter is that GTK is still heavily GNOME. Rather, I think the problem is that libadwaita hasn’t gone far enough. And you can easily use GTK without it if you want. I don’t think libadwaita is a problem in the direction you’re saying at all-it’s a comparatively slim layer mostly of additional components that should generally not be all that difficult to make optional if you desire. ![]() So we've ruined a perfectly good desktop environment and poured countless man-hours into KDE and Gnome for mobile and to what end? Why? WHo's going to use it? What's the point? What's there to accomplish?īeyond some college kid being real proud of his Summer of Code project, nothing of note will materialize from this. The year that linux makes any serious inroads into mobile will come just like the "year of the linux desktop" came. So what you got left? Pine phones? It's even more niche and more hobbyist than desktop linux was in 2001. Google is looking to replace Android with an OS that lacks the Linux kernel. The phone market at one point had Ubuntu (very very briefly), FirefoxOS (even more brief), Blackberry (gone), Android (multiple versions), Windows Phone (gone), and iOS.Īll that's really left is iOS and Android. Here it is, 2022, and they never captured a chunk of the desktop market. I'm not really enthusiastic about Gnome and KDE trying to bring stuff to mobile. Mate, Cinnamon and others just don't have the stability or functionality. KDE and XFCE aren't perfect, but as far as MacOS, Gnome, Windows 8.1, 10, and further, and other Linux desktop environments, KDE and XFCE blow them out of the water. It's like a lesser MacOS (and frankly, i despise MacOS's desktop as well). That aside, Gnome's UI is horrendous and can only be made better by installing tons of poorly supported extensions. No systemd? Then you'd have to maintain your own patched fork of Gnome. They made Gnome wholly dependent on systemd and this is how RHEL was able to influence every distro out there, of consequence, to adopt systemd as well. profile file in which I can add once and forever the directive "env GTK_THEME=xxxx-light " to have my light GTK_THEME globally applied.I'm still burnt by the fact that RedHat contributes so much code to Gnome that they basically control it. ![]() I’m frankly tired to modify any command to get rid of that dark crap (imho as always) so I’m asking if there is a setting that overrides globally dark theme I mean something like. I’ve somewhat fixed the problem adding in menu editor "env GTK_THEME=Mojave-light " to command but everytime I need an application that I don’t use so frequently (using mostly programming IDE and shell, here), it jumps up in dark theme! Worst, after a recent upgrade Evolution too came out in dark I’ve been, alas, in needing to use LibreOffice and … what a surprise! It was dark and for me - myopic, astigmatic and … over 40 so enjoying a bit of presbyopia too - a real nightmare. So, I’ve installed and configured via Budgie-desktop-settings the (imho again) better Mojave-light theme and finally gedit and other applications came out clear. Please, let me say that I hate that ugly (imho) dark theme that seems to be so trendy nowadays! ![]()
