Used Windows for most of my life and iOS at work for a while. When I finally made the switch to Linux last year I was very eager to try Gnome because it looked so sleek. Almost like iOS.
But it didn‘t feel like iOS at all. It felt exactly like the Linux stereotype. Like you have to subscribe to an entirely new lifestyle and way of doing things. I‘m not ready for that. Not when other operating systems are so much more intuitive.
I ditched it quickly and have happily used KDE Plasma since. I think it‘s much closer to the UX of „conventional“ operating systems like iOS. I want to use the console for some tasks but most of the time I just want menus, thanks.
