@mirkobrombin@mastodon.social yes, what about it? That's still not a libadwaita-only direction given that the shell doesn't even use libadwaita @moshimotsu@floss.social

@TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems Maybe @mirkobrombin@mastodon.social and I are misattributing GNOME’s vision for its ecosystem to its vision for the shell. Naturally the shell can’t be going LibAdwaita-only, as (looking from the outside in) I would figure many shell elements, like widgets/the dock/etc, are just using GTK4—not to mention non-LibAdwaita apps still run on it. The ecosystem is what seems to be going LibAdwaita-only, both in GNOME shell, and elsewhere. I figure?

@TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems @moshimotsu@floss.social the issue is not the shell but the direction of the GNOME Apps which are part of the Environment. Plus the issue I have with GNOME OS `just existing*`, but that is up to me. I have to write a blog to really explain this last one 🤗
