Do I really have to have written “stop changing the defaults”? Like if Firefox kept changing its keyboard shortcuts would that be non-annoying as long as you can reset them? Oh yes, they DO that.
At least KDE is working on making their Qt apps cross-platform. Unfortunately most GNOME apps I know of receive updates for a couple years & then die off like this, and will occasionally get replaced. I think the issue partly stems from the pain points that have come with GTK+.
I’m not sure if that’s true. The mint team has their X-Apps project which is designed to be a cross DE GTK app initiative. Having written GTK software I also haven’t found many pain points myself. Most of the problems with gnome seem to be the gnome team and not the surrounding projects.
Could they stop changing stuff like this? Oh well, I gave up on GNOME years ago anyway.
No one’s stopping you from just downloading the app you want. They changed the default, not eliminated the option to have something elsr
That’s true but knowing gnome they’ll abandon evince development. So while you can still use evince it likely won’t be maintained or bug fixed.

well yeah, you have to be more specific in this case.
Feels like you just want to moan.
