Really enjoying the Cinnamon desktop that comes with Mint Linux. I find the interface much more straightforward and polished compared to the default gnome desktop in Ubuntu. #Linux #Mint #Ubuntu

@dogriley You picked the worst possible contender to do your comparison... go look up https://quickshell.org now 😅

@ftranschel @dogriley I like Quickshell but it's not the target audience for those who don't to create their own setup. I think plasma is probably closer and similar to quickshell but more user friendly.

@thaodan @dogriley Yes indeed.

I love to use it as a means to highlight some idea about what is possible nowadays, though.

@ftranschel @dogriley Yeah I'm thinking of using it at point too. I hope it's quality and modularity will slowly increase, there are so many qml modules which can be reused so quickshell is more like glue around them.
It reminds me somewhat of stumpwm minus the repl.

@thaodan @dogriley For me it really is more like a sandbox QML interpreter that works in JavaScript than anything else - it eases the pain of compiling QtQuick components and allows for rapid prototyping. You can always go and port components to C if you feel that the performance is required. It's almost as fun as developing websites for me.

@ftranschel @dogriley Well that's pretty much what I meant, be it a QML element in C++ or QML, pretty much any QObject can be used.
There are quite many existing modules which can be used. Qt makes it really easy to combine C++ with QML.
The repl part was referring that you can easily reload/restart the shell to test your changes.
