slop in desktop environments There's slop in xfce, lxde, mate. There's permissive policy in lxqt. Kde has bits with slop, Gnome has bits with slop. Sigh.

I chose jwm+rox because it's minimal win95-style desktop, currently seemingly slop free, and should be easy to support in a hard fork if need arises. But I wish it didn't have to come to this.

The year is 2026, and the viable options for desktop are probably: twm, ctwm, CDE, jwm, icewm, fvwm and windowmaker. Plus a handful of tiled wms. 30 years of desktop UI improvements, wiped out 😰

slop in desktop environments @nina_kali_nina Yeah, I've got Cosmic on all my linux machines now because they decided to take a stronger stand against slop code, but there are still some commits in there. But I'm (personally) okay with a couple of commits with a stronger "no, no more of this" in place.

slop in desktop environments @cthos @nina_kali_nina i find it funny how a company like system67 understands the users better than community-run projects
