Lobotomizing GNOME

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Gnome is mostly removing features to make maintenance easier for them. They'd rather push the narrative that there is one right way to do things and settings are unnecessary. Needless to say, this has bit them in the bum many times and will continue to do so as time goes on. Remember how adamant they were about a sidedock with no option to change it?
