Virgin vs Chad meme. The "virgin" got the Gnome logo with the Chad being KDE. Virgin text: Lets Extensions manipulate Shell code willy-nilly. Blames Extensions devs if user desktops explode. Break extensions with every new version. Won't change anything because "Developer Freedom". Will still advertise ability to use Extensions. Meanwhile KDE Text: Rewrite half their codebase if something sucks. "However, some things will always have to contain QML code, like 3rd-party widgets and wallpaper plugins. For these, we devised a plan to sandbox them so they can’t blow up the world if they misbehave." Redesigns whole theming engine instead of restrictions.
