    As I said, I briefly used gnome in the far past and just remember being weirded out by the design choices that felt very “Apple like” . So them pulling an “Apple” and doing the “we know better than the user” doesn’t feel out of place.

        Microsoft at least isn’t trying to be a walked garden (at least, they didn’t used to)

        It’s not much, but the bar to be “better than Apple” from that perspective ain’t exactly high

        (Also, since they didn’t mention Microsoft at all or make some statement about how Apple was the worst, I don’t see how it even implies that… If you inferred that, I think that’s on you)

          I don’t get this comment. Gnome is not trying to make a walled garden, and Microsoft has taken every chance they get at making walled gardens (Windows phone, windows 8 arm, various proprietary file formats and protocols), they just haven’t been very successful at it.

            Yep. It’s amazing how Microsoft fanboys come into the Linux communities spreading their weird biased takes

          Apple is garbage but they have made some good design decisions. Microsoft rarely has. And no it’s not “on me”. Anyone using Mac windows and Linux over the years would see that most Linux DEs copy a lot from either MS or Apple, most outside of gnome primary mimicking windows.

            So you literally just know gnome and kde plasma. That’s cute.

              Not true but weird flex “pfft this guy only knows two desktop environments!”

              Seems like you’re not very familiar with the history of computer interfaces if you can write what you just did

                Woah there! That wasn’t a flex, I just said you don’t seem so familiar with current computer interfaces. But hey, if you wanna be offended you do you

                  Everything out there is heavily influenced by MS and/or apple, the majority of influence coming from MS. Feels pretty apparent in my experience that if you’re shitting all over apple uis then you prefer the alternative. Apple’s so easily criticized but like 90% of their design choices I think fall outside that and are vastly more intuitive than MS shit.

                    When did I state any opinion on UI in this conversation? I just said not everything is apple and MS, and no shit most stuff has similarities people get used to features and there’s stuff that just can’t be done in more ways. Also I actually find KDE like a sweet spot between windows and android, with a few original and apple features. Just keep whining about how superior you think you are like an average apple fanboy
