As I said, I briefly used gnome in the far past and just remember being weirded out by the design choices that felt very "Apple like" . So them pulling an "Apple" and doing the "we know better than the user" doesn't feel out of place.
This comment implies that Microsoft design choices are better which is hilarious
Microsoft at least isn't trying to be a walked garden (at least, they didn't used to)
It's not much, but the bar to be "better than Apple" from that perspective ain't exactly high
(Also, since they didn't mention Microsoft at all or make some statement about how Apple was the worst, I don't see how it even implies that... If you inferred that, I think that's on you)
I don't get this comment. Gnome is not trying to make a walled garden, and Microsoft has taken every chance they get at making walled gardens (Windows phone, windows 8 arm, various proprietary file formats and protocols), they just haven't been very successful at it.
Yep. It's amazing how Microsoft fanboys come into the Linux communities spreading their weird biased takes
