From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How about you fix your drag and drop before you implement new things guys

It's been working pretty well for me on GNOME 45 via Fedora 39, much fewer issues compared to GNOME 44

How about contribute somehow?

I'm a doctor dude. You don't want me to contribute. I can only donate

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Cool! I donate too

Donations are contributions as well. However once free and open source projects does not have employees, what you want may or may not be done. It all depends on how important contributors think this issue is

What you can do is to hire a freelancer to program it for you, so surely you get what you want

'surely you get ...' ---- not necessarily; contributions that satisfy feature requests are unlikely to be welcomed with open arms if they don't already fit the core maintainers' overall strategy. Some projects are very flexible about this; but Gnome is notoriously not.

... and even if the commissioned feature patch remains private, it might break on the next update, which would be a waste.
