  • I feel like the problem of GNOME is not minimalism - it’s lack of proper customization. It’s a minimal setup that works for GNOME devs, but not you.

    Personally, I enjoy using Adwaita apps under KDE. Adwaita works great with the “one app - one purpose” philosophy, while KDE allows you to make global arrangements the way you like, so that everything you need is at your fingertips, and everything you don’t is out of the way. You can customize KDE to look in a way that compliments Adwaita, and it looks and works very well.


  • I think there’s one more big angle to modern design minimalism. It gets out of the way.

    Every day, we are bombarded with millions of design elements. If they would all scream, show themselves, try to be special, many would get overwhelmed, overloaded, overburdened. The classic design screams individuality, impression, emotion. The minimalist one is there for the function without distraction, like a quiet servant - there when you need it, out of sight elsewhere. It’s a design philosophy of an age when everything is at your fingertips.

    With that said, and with my strong preference to modern, minimalist designs, I appreciate the effort others put into making their computing experience truly reflect their workflow and intention.

    Brave was found altering links to some crypto services like Binance to include their referral and basically profit from unknowing users, they also run an ad network, they rely on Chromium, thereby endorsing Google’s dominance over the modern Web, they are very crypto-positive, which is a problem for many in the open-source community, and on top of that, everything else others have said.
