I use the Windows 10 generally. I briefly poked the tires on the current, default Gnome desktop in Ubuntu, last year. There were some claims that Windows is moving closer to Gnome's UI paradigms, but I just didn't see that. Perhaps that was referring to Windows 11; if so then I'm wrong on this, but I am convinced that average Windows users will have absolutely no clue what to do with the Gnome desktop, when they sit down in front of it. Is that a good thing?
Have you missed my comments about giving "average" users, mostly school teachers, but a few others as well, laptops installed with the default Gnome desktop? I give them a couple of pointers, like how to access the overview, and they don't have any problem with it. Like I said earlier, one person even asked if I could put it on their macbook.
I am a technical user. I've been using Linux since Redhat 5. I've used many different window managers and I was skeptical about the big Gnome 3 change, but I tried it out. I think I switched from KDE at that time. I'm *very happy* with how Gnome works. I'm not an "apologist" for Gnome, I'm just really sick of people making such disgusting comments about it and the people developing it (and other software in the stack as well). Just because you happen to not like it for whatever reasons doesn't mean that it's not good for many other people. No one is forcing you to use it.
