GNOME is fine I will die on this hill. It's not for Windows refugees, though.

@R00bot @mlg I love that you called them windows refugees. What about MacOS? (As a power user/software engineer)

I came from macOS and found GNOME pretty accommodating. It's more akin to macOS than to Windows, both looks and customisation-wise. I'm also a software engineer! :)

Welcome to the free world and nice to have you here ♥️

Thanks! I feel obliged to say I built my PC in 2023, but Linux still feels exciting to me. Trying to avoid becoming that annoying Linux guy who tells everyone to install it lol.

@R00bot
😂 After I did my first installations (back in 1998) with SUSE and Red hat... And I thought it was a mess. But I restarted using Linux in 2020 and it was a whole new world. Linux is grown into a real usable and flexible OS, and I love it... And well I tell anybody to try it out 😂
