(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.

    After researching this stuff I will be watching Kaidan with interest and may eventually test it with Cheogram / JMP

    Dino was Gnomed from the very start. Probably not the greatest choice for anyone who dislikes Gnome UX, the problem is there aren’t a lot of fully baked alternatives.

    ahh okay, I’m already using a newer version, so my acceptance of the Gnomification is “priced in” so to speak.

    I did however put in a calendar event repeating every 6 months to check in on Kaidan and see how they’re doing, and once it’s far enough along, I’ll switch and start contributing bug reports and such.

    I ruffled feathers of Gnome cultists when I ranted about Pinta getting Gnomed. Severe UX enshittification of a formerly decent app.

    Oh god dammit. Which version did this happen in?

    Unfortunately for Linux it seems the non-GTK alternatives are either not as far along, or run in the browser.

    Gajim is a daily driver for me, Kaidan isn’t far enough along, and Dino is even more Gnomed from the get-go.
