(Gajim was gnomed since June actually, Void Linux repos didn’t update to the new iteraction until a few days ago though so I wasn’t aware.)
Gajim was the best XMPP client for desktops, with a nice UI and all the features I’d ever need in a messenger (YMMV).
So of course it should have been turned upside-down with a UI redesign that removes compatibility with GTK3 themes while also looking extremely out of place on my system. Modern GUI design suck SO MUCH.
So this is a “don’t move my cheese” post?
I understand the need the vent from time to time, but most people have/create blogs for such things. Maybe it’s just time to look for another xmpp client.
I’m not going to your blog 🙂
I’m usually not a ranting person. But it does happen from time to time. 😉
It’s nothing to do with length. I just don’t make a habit of visiting any particular website to read it. That’s what the threadiverse is for.
This place is pretty depressing you should branch out. I rank you guys like 18th out of places I can Hamas-post.
Do you not think rants belong here? What about linking to a rant on a blog?
No, a lot of previously good tools got entirely unusable (like, buttons/tabs not working) outside Gnome with the move to gtk4. Granted, most of them Gnome tools. While not-Gnome tools generally work, but look out of place by not folllowing any user settings.
And also the brain-worm of “simplified” settings menu.
There aren’t really any good clients for XMPP unfortunately. I’m just moving away to Matrix (ironically the one I avoided because it didn’t have good clients when I looked into IMs).
Movim is a very full featured client that supports group voice and video calls with screensharing, and it’s about to get discord-like spaces in a week or two.
Otherwise there’s Dino and Dinox.
I’ll look into Movim, thanks!
Dino is good.
