>Now that the desktop is long gone, launching binaries and desktop files from within Nautilus is not as useful. Not only that, but we are moving towards a more sandboxed system, and we should use the standard and system wide support for launching apps based on users choices.
>We also are not able to be secure enough to handle this, as we saw in the past we allowed untrusted binaries to be launched, and therefore we had a CVE (CVE-2017-14604) for Nautilus. We are not being audited (afaik) and we are not in a position that we can let this issues slip.
>With that altogether, this prevents launching binaries or programs from Nautilus.
It's actually possible. Built some of it functionality into activities and say that user don't need more anyway.

The apotheosis of GNOME will be a shiny, polished ui, but you will only have the option to open your browser (opendesktop.org set as home) and image/music/video icons on full screen. Adding more icons will of course require plugins. Just like the iPhone screen, you won't be able to remove them.
Enjoy the foot.

why are people even using gnome? it lacks very basic features >desktop icons this is a must for any productive user >window list what programs am I running? how do I switch between them fast? >landing screen (desktop) is empty, only a wallpaper. To do anything you need to click on the top left corner are gnome devs retarded?

This can't be fucking real, they are destroying even more the DE, what the hell

Running a binary from a filemanager has always been odd in any DE for as long as i can remember. is teh execution flag set? is it an actual binary or some shell script or interpreted language? Is it meant to have a console attached?
I never understood why. I get that free floating binaries strewn about the filesystem is not "The unix way" but this seems like people are mad about the users having access to the filesystem, and god dam do i hate any OS that does that.

This are a few of the issues I had funning GNOME for 15 minutes. Logged out, removed any semblance from GNOME shell from my system. Using XFCE on debian stable and don't give a fuck. Only GNOME devs are so incompetent that a DE that hasn't been updated in 2+ years is "ADDING" more features than their dumpsterfire LMAO

in the desktop UI paradigm, on the DESK-TOP, you files of the project you're currently working on. at least i do. it's not there for 4k anymayo pedo wallpapers.

Not him, but I couldn't care less about desktop icons. I'm in an application window 99% of the time, and the easiest way to get to the desktop is some kinda shortcut to move all the windows away to see the desktop, which could easily just be a shortcut to bring up my home folder, which is what i do.

If you can't navigate it with your keyboard, it's for normies.
