Can’t say MacOS is much better, but it’s more consistent and takes less time to do the same things.
Gnome - just tried it again. Looks very good on the first glance. Doesn’t even make me want to change theme at first (that’s the only mainstream thing with such a mark). Nice wallpapers.
Settings of the DE itself are in 4-5 different places! Good Lord.
Application menu - why does it lag so bad? Everybody makes such menus for 30 years and more. I have lots of dot-desktop files installed, but XDG menus don’t lag for me elsewhere.
Having a dock is an extension, not a prepackaged one at that? And the whole idea of a “prepackaged extension” frightens me.
Ctrl-Shift for switching keyboard layout I couldn’t set up. I navigate to that place in settings, run the thing which is supposed to detect this combination. It doesn’t.
It’s as if they were trying to mimic the initial appearance of MacOS with Gnome, to show it to people who won’t actually use it or don’t have ADHD\anxiety\sight problems, and also probably don’t use a second keyboard layout often.
A hint to Gnome devs - if your UX takes more actions to get somewhere for some very good reason (I hope), then it at least shouldn’t lag on every one of those actions. Another hint is that you probably should have one application for your DE settings or at least group them somehow.
i mean we can poke at gnome, kde and every other linux desktop environment as much as we want. none is very good, they all have issue. that’s why people who care pay big money for mac and then are called sheep by those who don’t.
