For me the most annoying thing with Windows is the ads and the fact Microsoft is pushing you to buy into their stuff.
I clearly love Linux way more, but I don’t think Windows (10 at least) is as bad as some people make it sound.
Still I’m trying to convince everyone I know to switch to Linux.
I’ve only spent a few hours on my wife’s MacBook Pro which was still running Catalina (now Fedora) back in the days, and I didn’t think Gnome and MacOs were so similar.
To be honest I felt a bit lost on MacOs Catalina and felt like everything was difficult compared to Gnome.
But I guess Gnome is taking a lot of inspiration from the MacOs aesthetic, and it’s okay with me because it looks great.
I don’t have a lot of experience with other DE on Linux, but they lack the clean aesthetic of Gnome.
