GNOME 40 is the biggest change to GNOME since GNOME 3. Some like it, but some, like me, don't.
Many didn't like GNOME 3 when it came out. GNOME 2 was even forked to MATE. Over ten years, we got used to GNOME 3, and I actually liked it.
But just like how people didn't like GNOME 3 when it came out, people don't like GNOME 40 either.
And that's why I wanted to fork GNOME 3.38. The name will be Flamingo.
To help contribute to the development of the project, go to its repository on GitHub. I have already forked gnome-shell.
Future plans:
- Fork some other GNOME applications, such as Nautilus (and bring back desktop icons)
- Tiling and Cosmic extensions from Pop Shell
- GTK4 support, like MATE added GTK3
- Qt and EFL support
- No dependency on systemd, can use on BSD
- Move repository to Codeberg/Sourcehut (and GitHub remains secondary).
