I’m with you. Gnome feels like the least janky Linux DE to me. Contrary to the author, I see a lot of the design decisions in Gnome as careful and deliberate. They want the OS to disappear in service of whatever app you have in front of you. And I think they succeed, mostly. But that’s a sensibility that’s not going to work for every user or every task. At this point, Gnome is more opinionated than even macOS or Windows. It’s going to put off some.
