ElementaryOS is very polished aesthetically and I love that they didn't jump aboard the "flat rectangles and monochrome icons" bandwagon like everybody else, but the way they went along with the various functionality-limiting GNOME conventions like replacing proper menubars with hamburger menus and hiding the minimize button is disappointing.


So much effort goes into badly cloning another desktop these days.

I like macOS for the attention to detail, not for the rounded corners.

I like X11 for the flexibility, not for the ability to poorly imitate another system.

I will give credit to GNOME for trying to be their own thing, but it seems like they have no real vision, except trying to be "simpler" at all costs.


Still better than GNOME
