Last week the six biggest operators – Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft and ByteDance – were forced to toe the line on competition, advertising, interoperability and more. It was a gamechanger
I use FVWM with 2-pixel solid borders and no window titlebars or buttons or panels, except for one FvwmButtons instance with digital clock, all keyboard-controlled. EDIT: … so I obviously don’t prefer Windows

The issues with Gnome are that it’s resource-heavy
No it isn’t. Stop making shit up.
inconsistent in UX
Gnome is easily the most consistent DE out there. By far. Honestly, by far and away the most consistent. Even MacOS is less consistent, and that’s saying something.
and setting it up is PITA.
? Install it and it’s done. I change a couple of keyboard shortcuts too but that’s unnecessary.
Cinnamon as its fork is much better.
So a Windows UX clone. Not everything has to be yet another Windows clone. What happened to you not preferring Windows UX lol
I’ve even seen benchmarks. In my own experience it’s slow where default KDE5 is fast. I didn’t dig why, because I’m not going to use a full-fledged DE over my cozy FVWM setup anyway.
Also accusing better people than you of lying is impolite.

I already guessed that’s your opinion, but OK. “Even”? It’s the same horror as MacOS.

It can look like Gnome 3 UX clone too, and that’s how it looked when I used it. Just more consistent and usable.
Anyway, there’s such a thing as ergonomics. It’s not really subjective, it can be measured in clicks and keystrokes, with accounting for mistakes and searching for elements of UI. Gnome devs are clearly ignorant of it.
MacOS and Gnome are sometimes worse than even modern Windows in that regard.
BTW, about Windows - w2k and xp were very good in terms of ergonomics.
Lmao, Plasma and Cinnamon are literally Windows clones. Gnome is nothing like it.
Do you see a taskbar at the bottom? A start button? Menu bar? System tray in the bottom right? Clock in the bottom right? Minimise, Maximise, Close at the top right of each Window? Nah. That’s Windows and its clones like Plasma and Cinnamon.

Apparently RISC OS, AmigaOS and NextStep were Windows clones.
See, that’s why Gnome is appropriately treated as crap. Because its developers and users alike are similar to you in general.
First you say it’s a Windows clone, then you concede it isn’t. Make your mind up 🤣
Cinnamon and Plasma are Windows clones. That’s fine if what you want is a Windows clone. I don’t. I want a consistent, good looking DE free of ancient design cruft and free of the shitty Windows workflow.
Nah, only weird losers who want a Windows clone cry about Gnome. WAAAAHHHHHH THIS ISNT LIKE WINDOWS!!! WHERE’S MY TASKBAR 😭😭😭😭
Gnome is treated very well. It’s the most commonly found default amongst distros. Because it’s the most trusted.
Don’t get me started on the absolute bug-fest that Plasma is. Literally unusable. Cinnamon, while a Windows clone, is at least stable. Probably because it’s Gnome-based.

You’re lying. That’s why I called you a liar.
Gnome is the most consistent. That’s an objective, factual statement.
No, you talked about a Windows UX clone. We get it, you want everything to be a Windows clone.
Lmao
Something gnome does very well and Windows and its clones don’t.
Honestly, I don’t know why only Gnome devs seems to care about consistency and ergonomics. It’s maddening.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAA
HAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAH
Lol
So you don’t have any arguments and apparently think that repeating shit will make it true.
Any amount of “HAHAHA” is not an argument, and like I said, ergonomics is not a subjective thing.
I’ve comprehensively dismantled everything you’ve said.
We get it, Gnome makes you cry like a little baby and you want a lousy Windows clone, anything else makes your little Microsoft-gimped brain hurt.
Stick to your Windows with its shit ergonomics lmao. I’ll stick to the best desktop for ergonomics hands-down.
Gnome is a lousy Windows clone.
Also fuck off

Aww I huwt the wittle baby’s feewings :‘’(
Which at best would be its only achievement.
