who even decides what's "modern" anymore?

can anyone, honestly, without reading the article (or guessing from the headline), tell me which of these is the "modern" design?

edit: people are getting confused by the fact that one is tree view, not icons view so i changed the image. old image here

I'm very glad GNOME does such an amazing job staying modern in its look. GNU+Linux and free software would be much worse off without it.

Great. Now do split panel!

I’d love a setting to change the default file manager. I always install Nemo and configure it to be the default but last I checked, it’s not a simple GUI setting like changing the default browser or email client or whatever. And then you end up with two programs called “Files,” which obviously isn’t ideal.

Would it be that much of a problem to have what app is “Files” be a simple setting? Maybe it’s way more complicated than one assumes.

I don't think I can go back to Nautilus after using Dolphin for so long, even if the search is far better.

What's the advantage vs. the current version?

Also looks like it's removing an important visual affordance (i.e., which areas you can click to drag the window), unless I'm misinterpreting it

I don't like Nautilus and always srick with Nemo but the new look of many Gnome apps is really nice!

Been a Gnome user for years and always glad to see them modernize the UI more, but the one thing I desperately want is .stl and/or .3mf thumbnailers to just work with Nautilus. Tried several times to set up in Fedora using f3d, but instead just get blurry question mark thumbnails

Wow, revolutionary.

Please also remove the text places and make use of that space

Looks nice, but if I could trade these visual gimmicks for a type-ahead feature, I would do so in a heartbeat.

Gotta keep up with Apple you know ahah

Only if they could copy the original Exposé from macOS Tiger.

Not a fan of slicing up the title bar like that, to be honest. Yeah, it saves some space, but I'm on a desktop with plenty of screen space, so that really isn't a priority, and being able to easily move windows around is a priority.

Also, what the hell is wrong with old-fashioned menus? This isn't a phone. GNOME doesn't even run on phones.
