Gnome Linux - A Complete Disaster?

Post#1 by fulalas » 02 Feb 2022, 18:47

I wrote an article about GNOME and I would like to share with you guys. Although it's just my opinion, I did my best to provide good and solid information, including many external references.

I hope you enjoy. Any comments on how to improve it is welcome :)

Currently reading it.

Question: could it be medium.com is one of the sites Palemoon has issues with?

Even when activating JS it only shows the first image (the empty desktop one) but I cannot see any of the other images. Do you know why that might be?
When the mouse hovers over such images, it turns into a [+] icon, but clicking on the image doesn't help, still no image to be seen. :(

When going into Page Info, I see that the 1st image is like so:

Code: Select all

https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*L_h-ogmt-wtLC7tp4_Nphw.png
478.3 KB (489,780 bytes)
1,400px × 706px (scaled to 680px × 343px)
but all the others are tiny previews:

Code: Select all

1.64 KB (1,681 bytes)
0px × 0px (scaled to 680px × 348px)

I would have to manually change all image URLs, like the above one into this

Code: Select all

https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*SACmXfqaHaaFm_pwXU32hg.png
to get a decent quality.

But doing so for that many images is kinda annoying.

Is that a Palemoon or a medium.com bug?
Cheers!
Yours Rava

But back to your article… it seems very well-thought-out and using many external references makes it hard to just toss it aside as an uninformed opinion piece.

This one takes the cake for me:
Although GNOME has fewer features, its memory consumption is higher than Cinnamon, LXDE, LXQt, MATE and Xfce
The fact alone that two of its forks, Cinnamon and Mate are both much more efficient and less of a strain on the system performance compared to Gnome speaks for itself.

In short: Rava approves of https://medium.com/@fulalas/gnome-linux ... b27b13a5c2 Image
Cheers!
