"No, fuck you. You'll use your computer how we tell you to, and you'll like it!" just isn't very compatible with "Please give us more money!"
The only reason I use desktop Linux is because of GNOME and the UX of the GTK ecosystem. Not everyone care about 5 billion points of customization, they care about simplicity & consistency. π
I'm so glad KDE forces me to use every point of customization and doesn't allow me to enjoy their well-curated default experience out of the box.
It's great that they don't tuck the power-user features away behind advanced options menus and give me a simple almost gnome-like experience from the get-go.
Even better, I'm glad that KDE doesn't dare to take user feedback into consideration by hosting KDE community summits where they prioritize three major user concerns per session, instead of telling users that a feature everyone wants doesn't belong and reclassifying as
wontfix.(For those unable to tell, this is pure snark and sarcasm, KDE does all these amazing pro-user things and gnome doesn't.)
And yet when I look at the UI of KDE, it's not for me. At all. π
Totally fine that other people use it and appreciate it! All I'm saying is I'd still be full-time on macOS if it weren't for modern GNOME.
Yes, whip me harder daddy.
Works for Apple, but I don't expect much overlap with Linux users.
Even Apple allows more user customization and choice than Gnome does these days.
