From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You were using a niche distro maintained by a single person and encountered problems? Shocking.
To be fair, I used Nobara myself for a bit until I got tired of suffering from the problems GE was creating himself. But regardless, experience on something like Nobara is not a fair way to evaluate Gnome. Try it on actual Fedora or something else mainstream that isn't constantly fuckering around with all kinds of shit and breaking stuff.
I'm not sure what he could've done that affected the file explorer to such a degree? And obviously that was just one extreme example of many other problems I had. I don't think he removed basic functionalities that I require, I am pretty sure that's just Gnome being so hell bent on being puristic that they just don't ship with it, which breaks my workflow entirely without offering any sort of replacement steps.
And if his stuff breaks so much, why does KDE just works? I only have / had two issues since then. First one was that Dolphin just crashed instantly, which was a known Dolphin bug and required me to manually create the thumbnail folder. The second is the inability to drag & drop out of Firefox, like my finished downloads can't be dragged into a folder anymore - and I know this was a feature from my previous distros (namely EndeavourOS & Manjaro). So, if it was caused by GE, then surely there would be all sorts of things broken with KDE too, right?
