I’d be curious which design decisions you thought were awful and were difficult to turn off? I’ve always though UIs across all OSes are very inflexible (e.g. on a Mac, you can’t change command-tab to alt-tab, and can’t cycle same-app windows without a separate keybind), so I’m not usually surprised when things are difficult to disable.

My only negative experience with Gnome was not seeing which apps were open at a glance (need to alt-tab and tile all windows). This is mainly a “what I’m used to” kind of thing though.

I recently installed Debian with Gnome on a laptop, and the UI is miles and miles better than what it was ~7 years ago. It used to feel old and like a knockoff of Windows XP or something. Now I only want to use Gnome on Linux. Huge credit to the Gnome team for all of these UI improvements they’ve been making, it’s a serious amount of work gone into things.

To be safe, should probably output grep to a file, then cat that.

The article is dumb. It states:

If you count Android and Chrome OS as Linux, which I do, the Linux desktop accounts for 44.98 percent of the end user market.

Linux != Linux desktop, and that’s the point of the article, but in their premise they’re equating them.
