GNOME really seems to be targeting some mythical user who is tech savvy enough to install Linux, is likely running Windows currently, wants their new operating system to feel like MacOS but is also helplessly confused by any settings/customizability or the smallest change in behavior from other operating systems.
I don’t generally see recommendations for new users/less tech savvy to use GNOME anymore since there are plenty of DEs that behave closer to what they’re already used to and it feels like most of the enthusiasts have largely abandoned it already. I just don’t understand who they think this is for. Just baffling decision after baffling decision

We’ve got a super important IPO coming up. Hey world governments could you make it illegal for anyone else to build what we just built? It’s super dangerous no one else can be trusted with this responsibility
What no we’re not worried that there’s no moat and that we have to keep spending effectively infinite money forever in order to maintain our lead
