10 ways GNOME is just BETTER

this is going to be the 10 ways gnome is this is going to be the 10 ways gnome is simply just better now we did a video simply just better now we did a video simply just better now we did a video just like this for KDE so after this do just like this for KDE so after this do just like this for KDE so after this do go make sure you check out that one but go make sure you check out that one but go make sure you check out that one but first real quick I need to do a PSA on first real quick I need to do a PSA on first real quick I need to do a PSA on the pronunciation of gnome or ganome the pronunciation of gnome or ganome the pronunciation of gnome or ganome gnome is the technical pronunciation but gnome is the technical pronunciation but gnome is the technical pronunciation but they've also officially said that they they've also officially said that they they've also officially said that they do not care if you say gnome in other do not care if you say gnome in other do not care if you say gnome in other words it really doesn't matter and words it really doesn't matter and words it really doesn't matter and because it really doesn't matter I often because it really doesn't matter I often because it really doesn't matter I often find myself accidentally flip-flopping find myself accidentally flip-flopping find myself accidentally flip-flopping in between both pronunciations and due in between both pronunciations and due in between both pronunciations and due to the length and the subject matter of to the length and the subject matter of to the length and the subject matter of this video I can almost guarantee I'm this video I can almost guarantee I'm this video I can almost guarantee I'm going to do just that number one gnome going to do just that number one gnome going to do just that number one gnome apps they have a huge app ecosystem on apps they have a huge app ecosystem on apps they have a huge app ecosystem on the Linux desktop now while it may not the Linux desktop now while it may not the Linux desktop now while it may not have as many professional grade have as many professional grade have as many professional grade applications like KDE they have a huge applications like KDE they have a huge applications like KDE they have a huge amount of useful tools and utilities amount of useful tools and utilities amount of useful tools and utilities that are designed around the genome that are designed around the genome that are designed around the genome desktop and The Gnome design guidelines desktop and The Gnome design guidelines desktop and The Gnome design guidelines mini genome apps are considered the mini genome apps are considered the mini genome apps are considered the default app for certain tasks even on default app for certain tasks even on default app for certain tasks even on non-known desktops these apps include non-known desktops these apps include non-known desktops these apps include the likes of The Gnome software Center the likes of The Gnome software Center the likes of The Gnome software Center calendar contacts and disks which discs calendar contacts and disks which discs calendar contacts and disks which discs is honestly my personal favorite is honestly my personal favorite is honestly my personal favorite partition managing application but partition managing application but partition managing application but there's also a gnome developed app for there's also a gnome developed app for there's also a gnome developed app for basically everything that you can think basically everything that you can think basically everything that you can think of there's the essentials that you need of there's the essentials that you need of there's the essentials that you need like Nautilus document viewer image like Nautilus document viewer image like Nautilus document viewer image viewer and file roller but they also viewer and file roller but they also viewer and file roller but they also have other useful official apps such as have other useful official apps such as have other useful official apps such as gnome boxes gnome Builder empathy and gnome boxes gnome Builder empathy and gnome boxes gnome Builder empathy and connections however outside of the core connections however outside of the core connections however outside of the core essential set of applications there's essential set of applications there's essential set of applications there's much more for example there's gnome much more for example there's gnome much more for example there's gnome Circle which contains many Community

applications menu from the dash or the applications menu one thing that makes gnome special is one thing that makes gnome special is one thing that makes gnome special is the dependence on workspaces simply put the dependence on workspaces simply put the dependence on workspaces simply put if you're not using workspaces in Gnome if you're not using workspaces in Gnome if you're not using

in mind and multiple types of devices in mind and easily adopts to all of them this design easily adopts to all of them this design easily adopts to all of them this design philosophy started in Gnome 3's philosophy started in Gnome 3's philosophy started in Gnome 3's development with initiatives such as development with initiatives such as development with initiatives such as unified header bars which were a much unified header bars which were a much unified header bars which were a much better experience on devices with touch better experience on devices with touch better experience on devices with touch screens due to you being able to press screens due to you being able to press screens due to you being able to press buttons on the title bar instead of buttons on the title bar instead of buttons on the title bar instead of navigating through things like file navigating through things like file navigating through things like file menus this has already made gnome a menus this has already made gnome a menus this has already made gnome a great option for touch screens but other great option for touch screens but other great option for touch screens but other types of devices have been getting types of devices have been getting types of devices have been getting better and better for supporting gnome

better and better for supporting gnome better and better for supporting gnome for example modern laptops with decent for example modern laptops with decent for example modern laptops with decent touchpads work beautifully with gnome touchpads work beautifully with gnome touchpads work beautifully with gnome thanks to the excellent gestures it thanks to the excellent gestures it thanks to the excellent gestures it supports you can swipe up with three supports you can swipe up with three supports you can swipe up with three fingers to go to overview swipe left or fingers to go to overview swipe left or fingers to go to overview swipe left or right with three fingers to switch in right with three fingers to switch in right with three fingers to switch in between your workspaces and overall just between your workspaces and overall just between your workspaces and overall just creates a very fluid experience on top creates a very fluid experience on top creates a very fluid experience on top of that gnome has been pushing for of that gnome has been pushing for of that gnome has been pushing for better port on Linux phones this all better port on Linux phones this all better port on Linux phones this all started with prism's Posh UI for the started with prism's Posh UI for the started with prism's Posh UI for the Librium 5 which was heavily integrated Librium 5 which was heavily integrated Librium 5 which was heavily integrated into the gnome ecosystem and shared many into the gnome ecosystem and shared many into the gnome ecosystem and shared many contributors across both the projects contributors across both the projects contributors across both the projects while Posh isn't technically part of the while Posh isn't technically part of the while Posh isn't technically part of the gnome desktop it uses the same design gnome desktop it uses the same design gnome desktop it uses the same design philosophy a very similar layout and philosophy a very similar layout and philosophy a very similar layout and ultimately contributed to lib handy a ultimately contributed to lib handy a ultimately contributed to lib handy a library that allowed apps to be adaptive library that allowed apps to be adaptive library that allowed apps to be adaptive to working between the phone and the to working between the phone and the to working between the phone and the desktop livehandy eventually evolved desktop livehandy eventually evolved desktop livehandy eventually evolved into liberoida which is what many genome into liberoida which is what many genome into liberoida which is what many genome applications use today for its beautiful applications use today for its beautiful applications use today for its beautiful looks and great apt activity on top of looks and great apt activity on top of looks and great apt activity on top of that recently genome developers have that recently genome developers have that recently genome developers have been working on mock-ups of no mobile been working on mock-ups of no mobile been working on mock-ups of no mobile and there is even a function pull and there is even a function pull and there is even a function pull request that adds gesture navigation to request that adds gesture navigation to request that adds gesture navigation to gnome on phones next up is going to be gnome on phones next up is going to be gnome on phones next up is going to be accessibility and ganome has been accessibility and ganome has been accessibility and ganome has been working on improving this ever since the working on improving this ever since the working on improving this ever since the gnome 2 days this started with gnome 2 days this started with gnome 2 days this started with development of ATK back in 2001 which development of ATK back in 2001 which development of ATK back in 2001 which provided apis for implementing support provided apis for implementing support provided apis for implementing support for different accessibility features in for different accessibility features in for different accessibility features in software to wear while ATK did have its software to wear while ATK did have its software to wear while ATK did have its issues and it's being phased out in issues and it's being phased out in issues and it's being phased out in favor of having its functionality built favor of having its functionality built favor of having its functionality built into gdk4 gnome still has a commitment into gdk4 gnome still has a commitment into gdk4 gnome still has a commitment to maintaining and innovating on its to maintaining and innovating on its to maintaining and innovating on its accessibility features for example gnome

accessibility features for example gnome accessibility features for example gnome pioneered Orca a screen reader which is pioneered Orca a screen reader which is pioneered Orca a screen reader which is very popular among the visually impaired very popular among the visually impaired very popular among the visually impaired users and is made sure to keep these users and is made sure to keep these users and is made sure to keep these accessibility features in mind while accessibility features in mind while accessibility features in mind while developing things like lipoweta and developing things like lipoweta and developing things like lipoweta and gnome 40. if you head over to the gnome 40. if you head over to the gnome 40. if you head over to the control center and accessibility you

keyboard I also like the sound your keyboard I also like the sound option key which makes the sound option key which makes the sound option key which makes the sound whenever you hit caps lock or scroll whenever you hit caps lock or scroll whenever you hit caps lock or scroll lock which can prevent some awkward lock which can prevent some awkward lock which can prevent some awkward situations finally on slower computers I situations finally on slower computers I situations finally on slower computers I like to disable animations and while it like to disable animations and while it like to disable animations and while it does take away some of the smoothness does take away some of the smoothness does take away some of the smoothness from a computer that is already fast from a computer that is already fast from a computer that is already fast believe me a slower computer is a lot believe me a slower computer is a lot believe me a slower computer is a lot worse than having a laggy animation worse than having a laggy animation worse than having a laggy animation number nine gnome is backed corporately number nine gnome is backed corporately number nine gnome is backed

and canonical massive ones like red hat and canonical as well as smaller ones like prism and

as well as smaller ones like prism and as well as smaller ones like prism and endless these companies support gnome endless these companies support gnome endless these companies support gnome through their contributions to the through their contributions to the through their contributions to the Project's development as well as through Project's development as well as through Project's development as well as through their financial backing red hat is known their financial backing red hat is known their financial backing red hat is known for contributing a boatload of for contributing a boatload of for contributing a boatload of development to gnome with miniconome development to gnome with miniconome development to gnome with miniconome developers also being employed by Red developers also being employed by Red developers also being employed by Red Hat this allows ganome to be the early Hat this allows ganome to be the early Hat this allows ganome to be the early adopters for Red Hat developed Tech adopters for Red Hat developed Tech adopters for Red Hat developed Tech including system D pipe wire and Weyland including system D pipe wire and Weyland including system D pipe wire and Weyland and outside of red hat mini companies and outside of red hat mini companies and outside of red hat mini companies contribute to gnome also including contribute to gnome also including contribute to gnome also including canonical which has contributed to canonical which has contributed to canonical which has contributed to Performance enhancements during their Performance enhancements during their Performance enhancements during their transition to using genome prism was one transition to using genome prism was one transition to using genome prism was one of the main contributors to lib handy of the main contributors to lib handy of the main contributors to lib handy and endless as a major contributor to and endless as a major contributor to and endless as a major contributor to tools like The Gnome software Center and tools like The Gnome software Center and tools like The Gnome software Center and a major helper with gnome OS these are a major helper with gnome OS these are a major helper with gnome OS these are just some of the larger examples that just some of the larger examples that just some of the larger examples that come to mind and there are many other come to mind and there are many other come to mind and there are many other companies and organizations that do companies and organizations that do companies and organizations that do contribute to development in various contribute to development in various contribute to development in various ways additionally many individual ways additionally many individual ways additionally many individual contributors also play a critical role contributors also play a critical role contributors also play a critical role into the development of gnome by into the development of gnome by into the development of gnome by providing code bug fixes and many other providing code bug fixes and many other providing code bug fixes and many other contributions to the project overall the contributions to the project overall the contributions to the project overall the support of these companies and support of these companies and support of these companies and individuals is essential to the individuals is essential to the individuals is essential to the continued development and success of continued development and success of continued development and success of gnome and last but not least number 10 gnome and last but not least number 10 gnome and last but not least number 10 no matter what desktop environment no matter what desktop environment no matter what desktop environment you're in Gnome Tech probably has a very you're in Gnome Tech probably has a very you're in Gnome Tech probably has a very large hand in powering the ecosystem large hand in powering the ecosystem large hand in powering the ecosystem that you're in some of Linux biggest that you're in some of Linux biggest that you're in some of Linux biggest libraries are helped by the gnome libraries are helped by the gnome libraries are helped by the gnome project for example gtk 1.0 started as project for example gtk 1.0 started as project for example gtk 1.0 started as the toolkit but might as well be the toolkit but might as well be the toolkit but might as well be known as The Gnome toolkit because all known as The Gnome toolkit because all known as The Gnome toolkit because all modern versions of gtk are primarily by modern versions of gtk are primarily by modern versions of gtk are primarily by genome developers with gnome projects in genome developers with gnome projects in genome developers with gnome projects in mind this is a big deal because a

mind this is a big deal because a mind this is a big deal because a majority of Linux native applications majority of Linux native applications majority of Linux native applications are actually developed in gtk with QT are actually developed in gtk with QT are actually developed in gtk with QT coming in a close second so if you're coming in a close second so if you're coming in a close second so if you're forced to purge your Linux system for forced to purge your Linux system for forced to purge your Linux system for example of either gtk or QT it would example of either gtk or QT it would example of either gtk or QT it would probably be easier to purge QT because probably be easier to purge QT because probably be easier to purge QT because many big platform apps use gtk as a many big platform apps use gtk as a many big platform apps use gtk as a backend or have an option for it as a backend or have an option for it as a backend or have an option for it as a backend including Firefox LibreOffice backend including Firefox LibreOffice backend including Firefox LibreOffice Thunderbird and but other libraries Thunderbird and but other libraries Thunderbird and but other libraries closely related to gtk are essential to closely related to gtk are essential to closely related to gtk are essential to the desktop and list includes g-lib the desktop and list includes g-lib the desktop and list includes g-lib which is a low-level Library responsible which is a low-level Library responsible which is a low-level Library responsible for managing Advanced data structures for managing Advanced data structures for managing Advanced data structures threading and other low-level features threading and other low-level features threading and other low-level features gnome also has a huge part in starting gnome also has a huge part in starting gnome also has a huge part in starting the development of flat pack which is the development of flat pack which is the development of flat pack which is revolutionizing app Distribution on revolutionizing app Distribution on revolutionizing app Distribution on Linux on top of that many other desktop Linux on top of that many other desktop Linux on top of that many other desktop environments are based gnome or built environments are based gnome or built environments are based gnome or built around gnome tech for example mate is a around gnome tech for example mate is a around gnome tech for example mate is a continuation of gnome 2 due to the continuation of gnome 2 due to the continuation of gnome 2 due to the controversial launch of gnome 3. controversial launch of gnome 3. controversial launch of gnome 3. cinnamon is built on top of gnome 3's cinnamon is built on top of gnome 3's cinnamon is built on top of gnome 3's code base originally to provide a more code base originally to provide a more code base originally to provide a more traditional desktop Pantheon's window traditional desktop Pantheon's window traditional desktop Pantheon's window manager is a fork of gnome's Mudder manager is a fork of gnome's Mudder manager is a fork of gnome's Mudder window manager and Pantheon is also window manager and Pantheon is also window manager and Pantheon is also primarily made with gnome libraries and primarily made with gnome libraries and primarily made with gnome libraries and finally Bungie 10 uses gnome components finally Bungie 10 uses gnome components finally Bungie 10 uses gnome components and is basically an alternative shell on and is basically an alternative shell on and is basically an alternative shell on top of gnome although that is changing top of gnome although that is changing top of gnome although that is changing with Bungie 11 soon as it's going to be with Bungie 11 soon as it's going to be with Bungie 11 soon as it's going to be Rewritten in edl instead of gtk Rewritten in edl instead of gtk Rewritten in edl instead of gtk distancing itself from gnome and those distancing itself from gnome and those distancing itself from gnome and those were just 10 ways gnome is simply just were just 10 ways gnome is simply just were just 10 ways gnome is simply just better there's going to be a version of better there's going to be a version of better there's going to be a version of this video for a tiling window managers this video for a tiling window managers this video for a tiling window managers coming up very soon so do make sure you coming up very soon so do make sure you coming up very soon so do make sure you subscribe and if you have not seen the
