in a full GNOME/libadwaita setup, Libreoffice (and also Firefox) stands out like a sore thumb. So i get it.

    Meh. Blender and any online app stand out like a sore thumb for how unique they are. That doesn't make them bad apps.

    This GNOME crap is so insanely cultish it's ... just sad. The only people more braindeadedly set on a specific OS are Apple fanboys...

    This mirrors how macOS has achieved loyalty through consistent UI/UX patterns, despite lacking the broader market dominance of Windows.

    Yep, there it is. So brianwashed by GNOME they don't even understand how Apple is such an insane walled garden for the sake of vendor lockin and user exploitation and should not be reproduced... (and cannot be reproduced in a free product, ffs)

    who says that it makes them bad apps? Also just naming one and then all online apps? now thats a feeble attempt at whatever you tried to construe.

    Whats cultish about wanting to have a Desktop that looks and feels like a consistent OS?

    ah yes... the walled garden of GNOME... because of consistent GUIs and Look&Feel. Maybe we all should go back to CDE when there was only one Desktop Look and Feel and kill off KDE all together.

    Your desktop DOES feel like a consistent thing. These are separate applications to do specific things not everyone needs to do. That already have delivered solutions...

    Again, you're just proving how cultish and stupid these walled gardens are.

    What's cultish?

    And how does it measure up to a walled garden?

    Why do KDE and GNOME have their own File manager? why their own System settings? Why does MS Office 95 not look foreign in Windows 95/98?

    You apparently have no tickets in this game, so why are you even arguing? Just go ahead be up and holy decreeing that GNOME is shit.

    lol Your attitude is what is cultish. People used to make fun of KDE for having their own apps for everything. Of course it was usually light ribbing.

    Like I said, recreate the wheel if you want. I won't be cheering you on.

    MacOS is proprietary software. They achieve such uniformity by mandating it. That is not what we want. Stop wasting resources chasing such stupid positions.

    lol GNOME cannot do the same thing. That's the point. They do not have the leverage Apple does. Now how about you use your brain for the next response instead of stating vapid excuses?

    You can reinvent the wheel if you want, but I'll still call you stupid for saying it's such a great idea.

    I didn't say anything about whether or not they could do the same thing. I said they shouldn't try. And if you actually read my comment instead of being a complete dick for no reason at all, you might find that we agree.

    The article basically says they should try.

    "Not what we want" is not going to save you when the topic article is saying exactly that.

    Yes, that is the issue I was addressing, thank you.

    Nothing I say is going to "save me". I honestly have no idea what point you're trying to make here.
