You know I totally agree with you on Gnome being superior. Heck, my preferred WM is DWM and I would use it every day if I could. But here I am, on a Mac, just because I just CANNOT deal with another hardware related issue again. I used desktop linux most of my life (ages 12-28). But with a job and a family, I just don't have time for a single second of down time or debugging my computer. Same for android vs iOS. Used Android for 10 years, switched to iOS. Tried to go back with Pixel 3a, and it would freeze up maybe once a month. That's too much for me. My iPhone has frozen up maybe once in 2 years. Before you judge me, I do extensive infra shit at work and fix broken systems all the time. I just cannot deal with it on my personal devices.

No judgment. Same reasoning for me. In 2016 the bugs with MacOS got annoying enough that I looked around again and I had a more stable experience with GNOME 3 on a Dell laptop than anything on MacOS or Windows and switched. I had way more problems debugging weird crap with the Wifi when walking between meetings with my MacBook Air, annoyed that when I plugged back into my monitor at my desk I would have to rearrange my windows on my desktops again (GNOME 4 puts the windows back where they were if you plug back into the exact same monitor). And dealing with Homebrew BS because Apple likes to break it on OS updates and sometimes it would break randomly on its own while Debian-derived distros never have package issues pushed me back. Just saying that you really ought to try it out again, and Fedora is a super-polished GNOME experience if you want "Mac-like, but not annoying."
