Awaited menu redesign and Minetest will be perfect.

You might be waiting for a few decades. I don’t think UI design is what foss is known for (outside of gnome)

What would be cool is of they could make Minetest support third party launchers.

If there is one think gnome has going for it is careful UI design. They spend years perfecting something.

Not really. A few of their developers have been redeveloping the menus. They redesigned the settings menu and it looks great. They’re redesigning the content db pages and home pages. Some designs have been put out and I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw something in the next few versions.

Edit: Changes are pretty close now:

Third party launchers are the LAST thing we need, and would provide no benefit that the game itself doesn’t already provide.

Minecraft needs launchers because of the lack of built-in mod support and the fact that its closed source. Minetest is the opposite of these things.

I mean for the UI. I want to be able to make a libadwaita app that works like the current UI. It should create a space the engine can render in.

UI redesign should be coming in 5.10.

? There’s many more DEs (and not only) with beautiful design. Gnome is not something incredible here. And I can even argue about libadwaita being beautiful.

Why would you need that? What benefits outside of using other UI framework like GTK it can provide?

I don’t care about it beautiful. I just don’t want clutter and confusing UI elements.

It’s gradually getting there. The settings redesign was introduced a few versions ago, and the online content menu redesign will hopefully land in the next version (and potentially replace the current content tab after that). I agree that the main menu redesign might be a while away though.

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.
