@dansup In the case of GNOME, yes!

@dansup GNOME is the best experience I've ever had with a desktop.

@dansup GNOME was great until version 3. I moved to XFCE and never looked back.

@dansup I honestly prefer KDE Plasma, it looks elegant.

@dansup GNOME is definitely worth a try! I personally like it a lot and that’s the only computer interface I feel at home in, but even just out of curiosity on a design standpoint, interesting to try out. I also use macOS daily at work, and they have similarities but are also quite different. GNOME is more minimalist and more cosy.

@dansup and you are getting all the responses one would expect after making that statement 🤣

@dansup if you don't already use Linux, try @fedora for a stock Gnome experience ;)

@dansup Gnome is kinda like MacOS in some ways, but they're very different and I would hesitate to call them similar at all.

Gnome is very heavily focused around the idea of hiding information unless you specifically request it. The desktop is entirely blank outside of the top panel, and app management happens almost exclusively within the overview.

It also is designed to be used on pretty much any input device, meaning it has a lot of gesture support and multiple ways to do the same action. For example, the overview can be opened with the super key, the hot corner, or a three-finger swipe.

For this reason, I like Gnome on laptops, where screen space is at a premium. However, I typically like to use something else on a desktop, where I lack a touchpad for gestures and preserving screen space is a little less of a necessity.

@dansup I ended up gravitating to GNOME as a former Mac user so definitely try it!

@dansup I’m using @gnome as well as macOS. There is some visual similarity, but without extensions GNOME really is its own thing (which I DO like!).

In my opinion GNOME integrates pieces way better than macOS. Eg. there is no Mission Control, Spotlight or Launchpad being their own, separate instance. With GNOME, everything ties into each other much more seamless.

@dansup we follow you because we love what you do and believe in your mission 🤝

We would love to count you as one of our users, even if we know that switching to a whole new desktop can be unsettling ♥️

@dansup I absolutely love Gnome. If you're more of a no icon on my desktop kind of guy, it's for you. If you like a busy desktop with everything right in your face then you won't like it.

If I can play Skyrim on Linux natively, I would leave Windows behind.
