Reminds me of the garbage collector bug on Plasma that would take memory usage to several GB that the devs told people they were full of shit when they reported it and took a year to fix?
Oh, wait, that was gnome. KDE devs give a fuck about their users.
linux is not familiar to windows users though
a slightly closer UI would not change how many other things are done differently between linux and windows
it would still not change the perceived difficulty of linux, people thinking you have to use the command line, or windows being preinstalled on everything, or some apps not supporting linux, or people not knowing WINE exists, or the many bugs i have encountered, or there being so many distros to choose and people getting confused, or people not having the time to switch to linux, or not caring about their computer, or people being afraid of change, or the many other things i have not listed
Gnome being the default in most major distros for the last 30 years is why Linux hasn’t taken over the desktop market.
CMM.
are you sure its gnome and not the hundreds of other problems that appear on kde and xfce too?

im not sure what this comment has to do with the message you are replying to
Yep it’s GNOME. KDE and other DEs are more familiar to Windows users

Idk I gave it to my sister and she had 0 complaints. I don’t think it’s perfect, but a sane default choice.
MacOS lovers might try but we don’t have a lot of them who switched over to Gnome
