I’d be curious which design decisions you thought were awful and were difficult to turn off? I’ve always though UIs across all OSes are very inflexible (e.g. on a Mac, you can’t change command-tab to alt-tab, and can’t cycle same-app windows without a separate keybind), so I’m not usually surprised when things are difficult to disable.
My only negative experience with Gnome was not seeing which apps were open at a glance (need to alt-tab and tile all windows). This is mainly a “what I’m used to” kind of thing though.
Nah their design decisions have been great. Pretty much everything has been based on actual usability studies rather than not rocking the boat and just copying the Win95 UX because that’s what people expect.
If you prefer the Win95 paradigm, that’s fine. Use another DE, use extensions, or use Windows. But telling everyone else that they’re wrong and you’re right is just sad.
