MODERATORS
There are people here who say that GNOME is a copy of MacOS I want to let you know that you that you are deeply unserious, one desktop is functional and the other is MacOS.
Same thing with people who say KDE is a Windows clone like Windows 11 didn't just steal KDE design language but made it worse because unlike KDE which is unified, just a few clicks in Windows you are suddenly transported to 2010 with the old Windows control panels, and Windows users vastly prefer the older menus.
Linux desktops are superior to their proprietary rivals. We may not have Adobe (lmao who needs that shit 🥴), we may not have HDR (not yet, check back in a couple of months or half a year), we don't have display mirroring (okay that one is valid) but our workflow is far superior.
Workflow on Linux: Whatever I want. Workflow on MacOS: Whatever they want, and if I want to change something, I have to install a third party tool reverse engineered from their private API that will break on every update.
