    Gnome is written by, just hear me out, Malus workers in their offtime who got screamed at by Steve Jobs for misplacing a button by a few pixels. They wanted to write a Mac interface without some tech dictator breathing down their neck, but with the same philosophy of “we know what’s best for the users”.

      Gnome is good as it doesn’t had a lot of complexity and looks nice out of the box.

      I do wish the gnome devs would be a little more flexible. However, I also wish KDE had a dumb mode that disables the customization. Xfce4 has a kiosk mode

      macOS windows have minimize buttons and a dock that’s not just visible when opening a launcher.
