When I started experimenting with #Linux again in 2024, I was very impressed at how mature everything had become since I last tried it in the mid-00s. The biggest surprise, though, was #GNOME. It had a level of intentionality and clarity of vision that far exceeded my expectations of a FLOSS project. It made me feel welcome and comfortable.

To the developers of @gnome@floss.social : Thank you for having the audacity to strive for simplicity in the face of continued criticism from the community. It matters.

I really like using the star button on Mastodon. I know it doesn’t connect to an algorithm. It’s just a button that makes another person's day better. ⭐
