LibreOffice works, but it is not designed to be a “GNOME” application.
Oh FFS … It works as intended but … I don’t want it, because it wasn’t specifically designed for gnome. Imagine the horror it works in another desktop environment.
That must bee the most pathetic thing I’ve read in a looooong time.
A lot of It’s FOSS articles have petty little gripes like that. I don’t even bother reading their stuff anymore.
What is wrong about wanting a nice looking Desktop?
The KDE crowd was really pissed about not being able to theme libadwaita. Everyone wants a beautiful desktop, so why bash people for it?

The author didn’t even put, “update LibreOffice to be more compatible with GNOME specific libraries” on the list of obvious possible solutions… While writing new apps whole-cloth and updating decades old software were … and also says this idea isn’t meant as a replacement…
This reads like a product manager who idolizes Apple and doesn’t actually understand how hard development is, or how foolish ostracizing the rest of your ecosystem is. (GNOME will never exist outside of Linux)
Oh boy, what a comment section.
I hope an AI wrote this because it embarrasses me as a human if another human actually thought all these things and wrote them down for mass publication
Do GNOME folks just never use Kdenlive or even OBS Studio? 😅
I’m surprised I see these kinds of articles and comments about LibreOffice all the time but never about Qt apps like OBS Studio that don’t really have a good GTK alternative (afaik).
I use OBS and Krita and Kdenlive very often and they’re great. I also use Gnome and think it’s great.
This is likely just an inflammatory article and engagement bait
Fanatics, sir…
As a gnome user (and one who continues to choose it over other des) I get the idea but don’t honestly want it.
Like evolution is technically gnome oriented. But I still use Thunderbird over it. I like the integrated design but spending man hours on something already done instead of trying to just theme it seems like a waste.
Jmho. Like go for it but seems like there’s far better avenues.
