> Gnome is nice too but suffers from the same lack of configurability. It's too opinionated like Mac. You can make it more flexible but you'll end up having a lot of plugins that end up being hard to maintain across version updates. Every time I'm looking for a function in Gnome and Google it I find an old thread discussing how it used to have it but the Devs removed it because they didn't agree with it or deem it necessary.
I'm getting tried of "opinionated" technologies. Everyone has opinions, but it's a dick move to force yours on others like that's a good thing.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoI think it's so common now because Apple has become so popular and trendsetting. Apple have always been very opinionated but they've steered the industry along with them. Everyone follows them in some way, like when vista basically copied Aqua and when they moved to flat design everyone followed. Opinionated software works for simple apps but not for whole OSes IMO. I'm glad there's still systems around that offer more choices but they are becoming more fringey now. The same if you want an OS without any kind of telemetry. Neither Microsoft nor Apple are saints there.
