    I’d be fine with it, but I had to pin the flatpak to an old release for now, because the redesign fucked up the migration, deleted all my presets and also caused issues with voice chat apps not getting any audio input. The new UI is also unquestionably a downgrade and less accessible when it comes to setting slider values, but I hope that can be fixed with time. I certainly don’t blame FOSS devs for their work.

    Btw. seeing some of the comments in here: is it the fate of all Linux shitposting forums to be filled with hardliners who really care what software you install on you Linux system? Let me use my GTK apps in peace. I don’t need opinions on UI cleanliness and density from people who don’t even use easyeffects, because my god, is it a mess currently.

    i just can’t stand gnome anymore, it was my favorite for a long time too. KDE is fine but I fucking hate Dolphin. I’m into Cosmic right now but I’m not sure I like the file manager

      That’s crazy Dolphin is the best file manager on Linux. Nemo is second and the rest is unusable trash lacking so many features.

        Last time I used Nemo it was an unstable mess, but that was a while ago. I’m sure it’s been improved.

        I’d have to use it again to tell you, to be honest. It’s been couple months since I last did and so my memory is a little foggy except for my dislike. I remember not liking how tabs work and how it took a bunch of tinkering to make it less annoying.

        on a machine that I ran for years, i basically did kde but with a different file manager, that was wonky and presented it’s own problems but it wasn’t Dolphin so I was satisfied

            Krusader (or generally dual-pane file managers) is great once you get used to it. I have been using it (and Double Commander on Windows) for years now and wouldn’t want to get back to anything else.

              Yeah, I often hear that. A few years ago, I tried to get into Krusader, because I also liked some of the features it has, but after two weeks or so, I realized that I don’t use the file manager nearly often enough to make progress in learning a different workflow. 😅

              Well, and I also kind of had the problem that navigating into directories is quite fast on the terminal, especially with Fish shell, so I often do that there and then run open . to launch the GUI file manager for the thumbnails or dragging into other GUI applications.
              And that Frankenstein workflow is kind of diametrically opposed to dual-pane file managers, where you really need to navigate to different locations in the respective pane from within the file manager. 🫠

            There’s also Konqueror, the file manager/web browser combo that was mostly replaced by dolphin but is still sort of maintained

    It actually hurt me a little how they made a perfectly wellade GTK app into a QT mess for no reason whatsoever. But oh well, I don’t maintain it and it’s not my place to complain much about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Like it still remains usable
