    Most GNOME apps do use context menus though, there’s nothing about adwaita or gtk that blocks this.

      The blockers are in Gnome’s design guidelines, which many Gnome-related apps tend to follow.

      The quintessential app I am thinking of here is Bottles, which has one of the worst UIs I’ve had the displeasure of using in recent memory.

        And yet most gnome apps use context menus… They’re just not a priority given that any functionality in a context menu needs to be duplicated elsewhere so that people can find it. This isn’t just a gnome thing btw, it’s the way UI everywhere is going: Hamburger menus all the way down.

        I like it, i use lutris though because i don’t care for the sandboxing.

          firefox did that bit right. the burger menu might be the default–but that menu bar is right there waiting to be called to action or given center stage.
