KDE's Spectacle lets you customize which action is done with Print Screen through the Plasma Settings app.
It's mostly independent, dependency-wise. If you install GTK (even gtk4) on an Arch system or something without GNOME, it doesn't pull in 5000 GNOME libraries.
I do like how KDE is highly flexible. You can change all of the system shortcuts and may any event do any task. I used it to make linux turn a smart plug that controlled my speakers on and off when it slept or woke up - but that tv was a touchscreen that had shitty drivers that only worked with Gnome.
My main tv is a 50" touchscreen.
GNOME devs are actually autistically focused on supporting touch screens. It's one of the reasons for why their UI looks like Windows 8 and for why they push Wayland so hard.
IIRC, years ago, one of the early-ish GNOME 3.x versions had a lock screen that you had to literally slide to unlock. With the mouse cursor unless you were using a touchscreen, which obviously noone was because touchscreens are stupid in the vast majority of personal computing applications. There was no keybinding, at least not by default, to make it go away and show the password promot, you had to use the fucking mouse. It was actually so incredibly stupid, someone at Red Hat must have yelled at the faggots to fix it (if it was just the community you know they wouldn't give a shit), because it changed soon after and you could press any key to make the fucking thing go away. I didn't care though, I already switched to Cinnamon and haven't looked back.
never did understand why gnome is so popular, its stable and relatively bug free to give it credit but (in my opinion) with how limiting it is, its more or less just OSX's interface but for linux.
Astroturfing. It's such a fucking piece of shit I cannot for the life of me ever imagine a normie willingly choosing to use GNOME over any other DE. Ubuntu has a history of shipping it, all of Redhat's shit has it because it's Redhat of course. Then there's shit like Oracle Solaris shipping with GNOME that just boggles my mind.
No, GNOME only superficially resembles macOS. MacOS is actually designed well to begin with, and it's a very easy matter to do a lot of customisation if you want to. GNOME isn't well designed, and to the extent that you can customise it, the devs are actively hostile to letting you. Even with dozens of plugins I can't replicate macOS on GNOME. I can do it easily on KDE without plugins, and the result is actually pleasant to use (because macOS genuinely is very nice to use).
It's cargo-cult MacOS, made by people who want to replicate that OS but don't understand what makes it work.
That's the Red Hat way. Can't have people deviating from the One True System.
The fact that GNOME devs allow extensions and then INTENTIONALLY TRY TO BREAK THEM is the wildest shit.
Flameshot. It allows you to upload straight to Imgur.
I've used alien to convert rpm packages to deb packages if that helps.
Every year I reinstall Cinnamon and every time I learn to appreciate it just a little bit more. The one thing I hate about it is that you cannot duplicate the main panel for multiple monitors. You can add a panel, yes, but I can never make it work. Gnome needs to die a painful death, though.
