I've seen one of these posts for every single one of the ~15 years I've been using apple products, and yet still here we are, and for most it still the least worst OS going.

Luckily I've been able to make my GNOME desktop look like exactly what I want since at least 2020, when the ecosystem of GNOME shell extensions got mature enough. My current desktop is close to mix of old Windows and GNOME 2, with virtual desktops and other stuff that did not exist back then. I like stuff to stay put on screen, so no animations and all those UI gimmicks. Maybe I should have started from KDE but I got burned by KDE in 2014 and I hesitate to invest time to look at it again.
I left linux for a Mac in 2013.
