I use Pop!_OS on 2 machines daily with KDE Plasma and am happy with it. I use KDE Plasma because COSMIC is too GNOME-y for me. The only thing I liked better in COSMIC was the fractional scaling- that was way better than the options I have in KDE.
If you’re using a device or network-wide ad-blocker like I do, then you won’t see them. When I try to use Waze on somebody else’s phone, the ads are unbearable.
EDIT: I read the OP and now realize what you mean. I’ll keep this here anyway.
It’s a meme, hence why it’s ridiculous.

I agree that Linux Mint is closer to what the vocal Linux desktop community would like to see, but Ubuntu is anything but abandoned. Where I work, both my coworkers (excluding myself) and customers are either using RHEL or Ubuntu. That’s it. Sure, everyone on Lemmy and Reddit swears against Ubuntu and has no need for plain-RHEL, but a lot more of the non-vocal Linux community is using Ubuntu. I prefer Pop!_OS, but that’s besides the point.

And it has come a long way too. In fact, I just donated since it’s struck me how solid of an experience it’s been.
I love this graphic because it’s a reminder to self-proclaimed “gamers” that mobile gaming has been doing laps around “real” gaming for over half a decade now, with no indication of the trend changing. Yes, mobile games are typically lower quality and more predatory, but it’s undeniable that the average person who plays video games now is just a regular person with a phone.
I would hate snaps a lot less if Ubuntu just stopped trying to force me to use them.
I know this is a slightly different category, but Snapchat’s UI is absolutely the worst- far worse than all of these. It’s my go-to UI to pick on.
Oh, this reminds me of the company I’m working for right now.
“You want this promotion? Great! You’re qualified and we’ll have you do this project first to see if you like this work.”
“Really? I have almost no experience with this programming language, but okay!”
Does project
“Actually, you’re not qualified enough. Sorry!”
A week later one of the devs on that team apologized for the situation (not that it was their fault at all.) But still, what BS that all was.
Have you met Windows admins? 😛
In fairness, I’ve seen some Linux admins become completely hopeless as soon as any GUI appears.
… I am, though.
I guess it depends on habits, then. I use them all the time. Not as much as folders, but enough that I would rather the 2 have the same behavior.
People will be damned if…
Which is just another, less convenient way of turning a single click into two, no?
Thanks, I actually thought my comments weren’t great at all in this program, so I’m glad somebody thinks otherwise. 😅
Exactly, and thanks!
