Gnome is great, and I commend the devs for having the bollocks to come out and say “No, we don’t think Microsoft perfected OS UX in the early 90s”, and do something different that works well, despite knowing the amount of hatred and even death threats they’d get for the change.
Some of us might say Gnome 2 perfected the Microsoft UX paradigm. Or KDE 3 did it, depends on the person asked. The thing in common would be “Gnome 3 sucks donkey balls”.
I understand that some don’t want to shift workflow and they just want to continue with the tried and tested WinUX paradigm, and that’s fine. They can use one of the other desktop environments that cater to that (KDE Plasma, Cinnamon, XFCE, Budgie, etc), or they can use a Gnome extension like Dash to Panel.
Some of us might become irritated at your attempts to call everybody not liking Gnome a Windows admirer.
It evidently didn’t hurt the Linux desktop as the Linux desktop is more popular and more problem-free than its ever been. If Gnome was such a nightmarish shit show like people on Reddit and Lemmy purport, it wouldn’t be the default on a load of distros, they’d have jumped ship sometime in the past 13 years.
It’s not nightmarish shit, but I get tired even emotionally using it faster than I do with my FVWM config.
Still - I think I’ll try it again. Since it’s a weekend.
