As a macOS user, my journey began with trying to make my DE look & work like , but with the added features a Linux DE provides - first , then , finally settling on as my favorite.

Then @thelinuxEXP released his video about bad UX design where he trashed the concept of a menu to launch apps & demonstrated how GNOME’s approach is superior… 🤔

My (mostly) stock GNOME immersion begins now.

ASP ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@RockyC @thelinuxEXP

I respectfully disagree with this assessment.

I am a heavy user of the window list in the taskbar. On #Cinnamon I even disable the default icon view because I prefer to see the window titles. This way I can immediately see where I want to go next

I am of course a bit biased since I have to use #Windows for work. But I am for sure not the only victim of these circumstances...

I think the choice between @gnome and @kde / #Cinnamon is highly subjective.

@ASP @thelinuxEXP @gnome @kde I may end up disagreeing as well, but I also want to remain open to new and different ways of doing things. I don’t use computers for work anymore, so Linux has become a hobby that allows me the flexibility to try different concepts. Who knows? I may hate it and go back to .

I’m VERY excited to see what System76 does with . It looks great so far.
