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.

Why... is Canonical so good with business connections and spreading desktop Linux around the world? While they use fu**ing Snaps and break GNOME as "their desktop"?
you mean make it tolerable :)
We all have our preferences, I personally don't really care for stock gnome
I think their concept is just as flawed as "dash to dock". Desperately trying to "not be Windows" (while mimicking mac lol)...
You have a huge top bar that is mainly unused space. You have no hitbox at the top right edge, because of the bad GNOME decorations (also in Firefox) and because of that stupid top bar.
Then having a dock with empty space around it, where you could easily fit clock, quicksettings and menu, why??
Dash to panel fixes most, just not the bad hitboxes to the top edge. And luckily it is very actively maintained.
Ubuntu meanwhile keeps that useless top bar and also places a bar at the edge. This is good for regular screens. But it is annoying when tiling in half.
And they dont fix it, as they still keep the silly top bar.
And the main issue is their theming, which breaks apps.
