> Same goes for a certain distro that at some point thought that their users was just people who couldn't afford Macs and threw out an IMO rather well functioning Gnome 2 setup for a what I consider a clone of the desktop of Mac OS X that had almost all of the problems from Mac OS X but unlike couldn't run Mac OS X software.
Ooh! Ooh! Lemme guess! Are we talking about… Deepin Linux? Or is it Elementary OS? I hope it’s not Pop OS, I’m on that now but haven’t seen COSMIC yet
- eitland 2y agoElementary OS was actually nice last time I used it. Looked like Mac but didn't copy every stylistic and UX choice from the 90ies that doesn't belong in the 2020ies, like space saving menus that makes haves your mouse traversing both monitors to reach them or the mental overload CMD-tab that makes me stop and think every time if I want to switch app or window. I was talking about Unity. A system that had a working alt-tab bujilt in but was so insistent about us learning the Mac way that there was no way to toggle off broken window switching except hacking the configuration directly.
- AnonCoward42 2y agoMy guess would be Ubuntu or Fedora and Unity/Gnome 3 respectively. Not that I share the hate, but Gnome 3 is certainly closely designed around some distinct Mac OSX design elements (app overview, handling of workspaces, and such).
