[18:29] DaemonFC[m] That would be cool. The GUI frontends for compression programs in Linux tend to be a bit lacking, but KDE's is by far the best. [18:30] MinceR ark? [18:30] DaemonFC[m] Yeah. [18:30] DaemonFC[m] The one in GNOME doesn't give you much control over the parameters and it tends to freeze up sometimes. [18:31] DaemonFC[m] Not continuing to respond to the user even when you're busy is a big no-no, but that's never stopped them I guess. [18:32] DaemonFC[m] The shell has been plagued with performance issues and only since Canonical became involved has anyone been profiling and solving them. [18:32] DaemonFC[m] But there's such a huge backlog that it's been an effort that has spanned a few years so far, but the shell seems to be working much better lately. [18:33] DaemonFC[m] GNOME 2 was much better software. [18:33] MinceR and gnome 1 was much better than gnome 2 [18:33] DaemonFC[m] I liked 2 because that's where I started using it daily, I guess. [18:33] DaemonFC[m] The layout was efficient and the performance was good even on low end computers. [18:34] CrystalMath i like gnome 1 as well, it had a much better model of how to deal with stuff [18:34] MinceR that's where they started copying crapOS instead of copying KDE [18:34] MinceR so they removed almost all the features, they neutered the print dialog and they shuffled all the buttons on the dialogs [18:34] CrystalMath KDE was always the ReactOS of GUIs, was it not? [18:35] DaemonFC[m] In GNOME 3 there have been bugs in multiple released versions, recently, that dropped the performance of things by 50% in some cases. [18:35] MinceR no, it wasn't [18:35] DaemonFC[m] And the developers generally feign ignorance or don't even respond to things like this. [18:35] MinceR KDE was the GUI microshit copied (badly), not the other way around [18:35] CrystalMath MinceR: there's just a taskbar, a clock on the right side, a button on the left side... [18:35] MinceR you mean a panel [18:35] CrystalMath what should we call it, oh, the KStartMenu [18:35] MinceR which appeared in RISC OS already [18:35] MinceR if not even earlier [18:35] CrystalMath KWindows [18:36] DaemonFC[m] Yeah, the "Windows 95 GUI", which wasn't really even new even then. [18:36] MinceR though KDE copied that from Gnome [18:36] MinceR wait, no [18:36] Chaekyung MinceR: though I think microsoft reverted [18:36] DaemonFC[m] Other operating systems had similar setups. [18:36] MinceR KDE only started copying Gnome much later [18:36] CrystalMath the windows 95 GUI is called New Shell [18:36] Chaekyung MinceR: if you look at windows7, it had kde plasma clock widgets and things like that. I won't think the windows 10 has those anymore [18:36] DaemonFC[m] But even on Linux, even now, I hear people say "Click on the Start Menu.". [18:36] DaemonFC[m] I catch myself doing it sometimes. [18:36] MinceR that's because people are idiots [18:37] MinceR you also hear people claiming that the cupertino mafia invented everything [18:37] DaemonFC[m] It wasn't the first GUI of its kind, but it was the one that was popular. [18:37] MinceR even things they never even sold [18:38] DaemonFC[m] I saw the Mac OS X release and really big icons and I was laughing. [18:38] DaemonFC[m] I'm like "Yeah, let's waste a third of the screen on icons why not?". [18:38] DaemonFC[m] Stunningly much worse than Windows XP. [18:38] Chaekyung Laugh all you want, macOS has a lot more users than all linux desktops put together [18:38] MinceR sucks to be them [18:39] CrystalMath macOS has only about a hundred users [18:39] CrystalMath and a few million useds [18:39] MinceR not that i'd want those users anyway [18:39] CrystalMath possibly tens of millions of useds [18:39] MinceR getting useds of Backdoors over to GNU/Linux is what resulted in systemd/hartmanux in the first place [18:40] MinceR CDE also had a panel in 1993 [18:40] CrystalMath yeah, i have the same panel here :) [18:40] CrystalMath i try to emulate CDE [18:41] CrystalMath i use 128x128 icons, because they're used for minimized windows, and they're screenshots of those windows [18:42] CrystalMath i like my system to be archaic, but also kinda modern in a way...
