From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'd be curious which design decisions you thought were awful and were difficult to turn off? I've always though UIs across all OSes are very inflexible (e.g. on a Mac, you can't change command-tab to alt-tab, and can't cycle same-app windows without a separate keybind), so I'm not usually surprised when things are difficult to disable.
My only negative experience with Gnome was not seeing which apps were open at a glance (need to alt-tab and tile all windows). This is mainly a "what I'm used to" kind of thing though.
