Microsoft and other cloud services are known for loosing users data. No joke.

This has never been about the kids. It's about slowly eroding privacy for all of us.

The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

They get paid when we buy the game? 🤔

The first Mac I used was actually a Macintosh with a black and white screen. I don't remember the exact model. We also had iMac G3 in school and later modern iMacs at work. My wife is also a Mac owner and has worked with them.

I'm no way an Apple expert in any way, shape or form. However. I do know enough about them to know that they're ridiculously locked down to the point that you can barley call yourself an owner of your own system.

With that said. Apple computers are popular, so it's apparently a winning concept for some, but it's not something for me.

Then GNOME seems to be a perfect fit. ;)

Oh! Well. Yes. X11 does not handle different DPIs at the same time very well.

Linux based operating systems is great! However. GNOME? Can you even change the wallpaper there? :D

Not locked down at all? I'd be surprised if you can even change the wallpaper. :D

I like being given a workflow designed by UX engineers, it means I don't have to think about it and I can just do my work instead of figuring out the best workflow.

And that's perfectly fine, and probably the most sensible thing ad well. However. The user should have the option to do whatever they want to.

My opinion is that computers should stay out of the way as much as possible. It's an appliance.

Exactly! And that's not possible if you have to fight it every time you use it.

That's the issue. IMHO. A desktop environment should not dictate how the user use it. That's just stupid.
