Difference between macos and gnome is that apple has invested lot of money and extremely talented people, whereas gnome has much less people. I don’t mind not having customisation when everything is good enough, but not the case in gnome at all.
Like the thing in finder where you type letter and instead of showing file starting with the letter it starts a recursive search. Or the giant top bar that has a barbone menu and serves almost no purpose. Apple put the app menu in there, makes sense.
Can’t say MacOS is much better, but it’s more consistent and takes less time to do the same things.
Gnome - just tried it again. Looks very good on the first glance. Doesn’t even make me want to change theme at first (that’s the only mainstream thing with such a mark). Nice wallpapers.
Settings of the DE itself are in 4-5 different places! Good Lord.
Application menu - why does it lag so bad? Everybody makes such menus for 30 years and more. I have lots of dot-desktop files installed, but XDG menus don’t lag for me elsewhere.
Having a dock is an extension, not a prepackaged one at that? And the whole idea of a “prepackaged extension” frightens me.
Ctrl-Shift for switching keyboard layout I couldn’t set up. I navigate to that place in settings, run the thing which is supposed to detect this combination. It doesn’t.
It’s as if they were trying to mimic the initial appearance of MacOS with Gnome, to show it to people who won’t actually use it or don’t have ADHD\anxiety\sight problems, and also probably don’t use a second keyboard layout often.
A hint to Gnome devs - if your UX takes more actions to get somewhere for some very good reason (I hope), then it at least shouldn’t lag on every one of those actions. Another hint is that you probably should have one application for your DE settings or at least group them somehow.
