If that is true, it’s like saying iPhone has done some copying of Android and is too funny.
Still, Android dropped their entire Blackberry inspired/copied design and copied iPhone instead in 2007/2008.
- smoldesu 5y agoIt's not just true, but blatantly obvious. Compare the design language of Big Sur with GTK 3.38 which predated it, and as the other anon mentioned, Windows 11 is effectively just GNOME with Dash-to-dock enabled. Whether or not Microsoft knowingly copied it is a different argument, but I find it hard to believe that their designers weren't at least inspired by the touch-friendly, reactive desktop UIs built with GTK.
