LOL! that's me ๐
Honestly, Gnome is okay depending on the context. I think it's wonderful on my 1st gen Surface Pro tablet. Whereas KDE sucks.ย
But yeah,ย most people are used to the classical desktop metaphorthat looks like every desktop since Win 95. I even changed the look and feel of my KDE with a tiled app launcher to make it work like. Win10 because I love the ergonomics.
Coming from a Mac maybe people would be more at ease with Gnome though.
