I think as a GNU project, Gnome is an exception.
Gnome isn't a GNU project any longer. They removed references to GNU from their website when Stallman was brought back as GNU leader after speaking in favor of pedophilia.
In typical Gnome fashion they didn't merely renounce GNU and Stallman, they lied and claimed that Gnome has never ever been a GNU project.
It isn’t “non standard.” It is literally s part of gnome.
It's a stand-alone tool by the Gnome developers, it's not an integral part of Gnome.
The default UX of Gnome still make it hard for people migrating from Win10. No amount of nitpicking about irrelevant details change that fact.
Haters gonna hate I guess
I didn't expect any other response by a Gnome fan. Keep ignoring comments like https://lemmy.world/comment/22252682 where I explained that I picked Gnome for an elderly man. I'm really such a hater that I pick Gnome for a certain use case.
I’m pretty sure you can live without the minimize button.
I'm volunteering in a repair café where older people bring their Windows 10 computers and seek help migrating to Linux because their PC told them that Win11 isn't compatible.
I make recommendations based on each person, trying to realize what they wish for first if they have an idea what they want. A few months ago there was an >70y/o man. Let's be realistic here, at this age it might well be the last PC he ever owns. So I set him up with Alma Linux (extra long support cycle) and made its Gnome desktop as Windows-like as possible. He's not getting pressured into unfamiliar UX metaphors and no way I'm pushing software from EPEL or anything that onto him. I enabled Flathub and temporarily installed aforementioned tools to make the necessary tweaks, then uninstalled these tools again, and installed a few of Gnome's games, Celluloid, and Chrome off Flathub.
For the rest of the day he ate cookies and drank coffee and seemed pretty happy with that setup. We invited him to come back, should he have any further questions. Haven't seen him again.
For the max/min buttons you can just turn them on in gnome tweaks
Ah yes, using a different non-standard tool makes so much of a difference.
Gnome has one great purpose and that is for tablets.
Doesn't work well on tablets, though.
why in the fuck is it pronounced guhnome
It's not. There is no vowel between G and N. Watch an episode or two of Star Trek and listen to some Klingon or Vulkan names to learn how such a combination of letters is pronounced without adding a vowel.
yet seem incapable of understanding that people could have preferences different from their own.
Perfect description of Gnome developers.
Kde is so ugly and buggy, requiring tons of setup n knowhow to fix.
Surely you confuse Plasma and Gnome. To get a sane setup on Gnome, you need to install Refine to enable the minimize button and Gnome Extension Manager and then install and enable Dash to Panel or Dash to Dock.
That's an insane amount of setup work for someone who doesn't know about those things.

The UI is regular YouTube for TV but bundles plugins such as SposorBlock.
IMO using a distribution within Distrobox is an alright choice to keep options open for stuff from outside Flatpak. I keep my SteamOS immutable.

I have bad news for you. More like 20 years.
