Gajim was gnomed and I'm angy (Gajim was gnomed since June actually, Void Linux repos didn’t update to the new iteraction until a few days ago though so I wasn’t aware.) Gajim was the best XMPP client for desktops, with a nice UI and all the features I’d ever need in a messenger (YMMV). So of course it should have been turned upside-down with a UI redesign that removes compatibility with GTK3 themes while also looking extremely out of place on my system. Modern GUI design suck SO MUCH.

What do you mean “gnomed”? Do you mean the UI started using Gtk4 and Adwaita components? Gtk3 is considered legacy now, so most apps that use Gtk will be transitioning to Gtk4 at some point.

Yeah that’s exactly it. Gtk3 is considered legacy now Cinnamon and Xfce still exist though. It’s not like gtk3 is suddenly out of use.

It’s not like gtk3 is suddenly out of use. That’s true, however GNOME will drop support for it at some point. I guess Cinnamon or xfce could maintain their own forks, however the majority of apps target what GNOME is currently using given it’s the most popular desktop environment.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
