I thought I’d share how happy I’ve been w/ my Gnome experience these past few years despite the occasionally controversial UI/UX decisions the Gnome folks tend to make.

I use Gnome Online Accounts integration w/ Google (drive, e-mail, calendar & contacts) and it “just works”™ & it does so quite reliably.

It’s so polished & well-integrated in the desktop that I often don’t even notice that I’m using in on a daily basis ❤️

PS: I’m using Gnome 44.3 on openSUSE Tumbleweed running on an old ThinkPad T530 w/ an nVidia GPU.

    I mean the concept is kinda cool, but I really don’t think the average Apple user is using those. I didn’t even know that existed when I was using macOS a couple months back. Even most Apple power users I know don’t use those or know of them. Probably the hardcore apple fans use them but I don’t know of anyone else that does. It does seem confusing in the long term.

      Don’t let me rant about the average Apple user/fanboy/power user - way too many in my line of business … :-P

      Using tags is non trivial, the thing is: If you need tags to organize your data, there are not many alternatives to tags. It is IMHO a killer application for knowledge workers and to this day, there are no good solutions on Linux, which is a shame. (Of course, org-mode has tags, but I don’t want to learn EMACS).
