They're probably referring to gnome's history of controversial opinions that many users don't like, such as: - "simplifying the UI" by removing many useful features (like systray icons) - "what makes you think sharpness is a metric?" - claiming fractional scaling is dumb because "monitors don't have fractional pixels" - "we know what users want" while ignoring most user feedback - "we're not copying mac OS" while blatantly doing so - "consistency is key" then changes entire UI paradigm every release - "what's the usecase for <insert well-known feature>?" - intentionally obscuring how to access / in the file picker And in general just being incredibly tone-deaf and abusive to their own users on the forums. Torvalds has been calling out their "users are idiots and are confused by functionality" stance for over 20 years now.
