the person who wrote this post is so full of hate and contempt. I find myself quite disinterested in reading.

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.

❤️ GTK and Gnome.
I swear the same people that complain about Gnome3+ also complain about Wayland.
Both projects put a lot of thought into their controversial decisions, they're attempting to learn from their mistakes.
There comes a point where you need to adapt to change. And both these projects have proven their changes are beneficial.
That KDE Plasma 5 is finally usable and stable, after having decided to stop pushing the ridiculous plasmoids on the user [...] is like having an old whore finally becoming a respectable woman.
Yeah, I stopped reading here.
what the actual fuck
Wow that's pretty gross
This article can pretty much be summed up as I don't like GTK or Gnome so I'm going to just present them being shit as a factual statement. I use Arch and KDE btw.
Gnome 3 released close to 13 years ago and was announced 16 years ago. At some point, people need to stop crying about the UX changes and get the fuck over it.
If you don't like it, use something else and stop being so entitled.
Not sure about the similarities here, but I actually love GTK when it comes to app design. It's one of the things I miss about Linux in Windows. (Yes, I'm a Windows user—not by choice, though.) About the only thing I hate about it is that for some reason a lot of GTK app designers think a simpler design should mean less functionality. Gimme my damn right-click context menus dammit! >_<
(seriously, tldr. also, wat, GTK is better than ever and has a bright future.)
Clickbait title, no thanks. GTK is alive and doing very well, considering all the major distributions use GNOME or a fork of it.
KDE has major Windows syndrome. No amount of polishing that turd will make me ignore the fundamental user unfriendliness that is nested text drop-downs.
