It's new and different. It's also not really usable atm so there's plenty of hype and little disillusionment yet.
Give it a couple years and everyone will probably have forgotten about it.

Qt and gtk both have rust bindings though?
Normally a company struggling with console sales
You're assuming microsoft still cares about selling consoles... at this point either they gave up on this generation, or they moved on altogether.
Well maybe if you'd added some context we could narrow down the problem. Because on my pc, it literally is that simple.
Considering this is browser stats I doubt the steam deck has much to do with it, the steam deck is all about never opening anything other than steam.
I'd still recommend a bleeding edge distro if the friend in question has recent hardware and/or likes to play games on release. It doesn't have to be arch though, and you can probably grab a recent kernel on Mint too if necessary.
Grind is kinda the purpose of the genre...
AFAIK no, and we probably never will
They just might, open source financing is good PR. 100 is a fair bit more than i thought, thanks for the source.
Fedora is pretty much vanilla GNOME.
They have minimize and maximize buttons ootb iirc. And probably a bunch of other stuff I can't cite off the top of my head. Arch is the one that has vanilla gnome.
And yes, pretty much all users install third party apps.
I think you have a biased view of an average user. Anyways we're getting off topic. The original argument being that tray icons are not relevant for most users. You have yet to cite a good example where the tray icon is necessary for the app to properly function.
Okay but the comparison was about GNOME vs KDE, not "GNOME modified with 5 extensions and tweaks
Yeah each distribution has their own patch set. If you really want to compare you need to start with the most popular, ubuntu and fedora.
Also, most users will want to install third party applications. Your average gamer will likely install Discord and Steam, both of them use a tray icon.
The two examples you gave are definitely not most users. I'd be surprised if it were even 20%. And the tray icon isn't necessary for either of them to work correctly. Most people use the computer to open the browser.
I think this rust only thing is gonna screw them on the long term. You really don't want that for app development, it might be a good choice for low level stuff and security sensitive things like browsers; but other than that you're severely hampering your contribution sources and increasing the development time. Color me skeptic but I see this going the same way unity did.
