Have you actually used vanilla Gnome? I did it fairly recently. Gnome 46 is like a fridge. It has fewer graphically exposed settings than Windows 95. I literally had to install a program to scale my wallpaper. It's absolutely ridiculous.

I understand this is a forum for programmers, but it's unrealistic to expect real users to manipulate a program like that by rewriting its source code, or even through dconf.

I know absolutely nothing about Gnome, but my comment wasn't about Gnome specifically.

It just grabbed my attention when people say "software X treats people like they're stupid", and then they want things done for them.

It's a childish argumentation though. As a former GNOME user, the most infuriating things is that stuff was there (already developed) and was working fine, and got removed or dumbed down so much it made GNOME unusable.

It's not about wanting stuff done for me, it's about fine software being actively, purposedly made worse.

And I answered with the actual issue that is relevant to conversation.

If you wanna be relevant to the conversation you're gonna have to clarify for me: are you in the camp that thinks Gnome treats its users like they're stupid, or not?

[bananamerica]

I am firmly in the camp where I am not answering this question only to satisfy an irrelevant need to take things literally while ignoring the actual issue being discussed.

[lkdfjlkdfjlg]

You shouldn't have responded then, because we have nothing to talk about.
