GNOME is Mac’s DE for Linux.
At least Mac has the whole menu bar going for it. I started out on GNOME but the empty bar in the top just bothered me. Then I went XFCE but I kept running into small annoyances, that probably could be fixed somehow but I don’t really have time to fight/tweak my computer. And now I’m on Plasma and so far it just works and the small tweaks I have done were quick.
I’d argue that it’s Android’s DE for Linux.
Including the limitations of options, albeit worse than Apple. I really don’t understand the hubris of that team.
