I’m obsessed with OS’ too, so I can relate tbh but it’s important to realize nobody else cares and cut them some slack. It’s also smart to take your friends switch back as a call for reflection - if he actually tried and couldn’t get over a jump then perhaps your views need to flex?

GNOME is fantastic and has a lot of common with MacOS. From my standpoint, the biggest thing you lose is the headphones sync between devices which can be an irreplaceable feature if you have enough devices to share them between. Other than that, it feels like mostly small potatoes. SMS Message sync can be replaced with qtconnect, Google Voice or the Android Messages web app… there’s options. Chrome is mostly a decent replacement for Safari, especially if you have an Android TV or Chromecasts and all that.
The origins of GNOME3 were rooted in duplicating the common old Mac OS X setup with the dock hidden on the side, and a hot corner for expose. In this way, it’s a damn good take on the first truly good modern desktop. I’d go as far as to say that GNOME 41 is the best workstation desktop there is.

I’ve always wondered why packages like tlp, powerop, etc aren’t included by default and tuned? Especially with Fedora 34, the laptop experience is starting to feel on-par with Windows and Mac in terms of what GNOME 40 is bringing to the table with gestures and activities. Is there any thought around how to make Fedora more laptop-friendly?

If implementing Windows is “really up to Microsoft” then I would think there’s a path for ol' Linus to realize his dream. Apple has lightning in a bottle with the M1, if they can get other OSs to run on it they may effectively dominate the consumer market until down the line when someone builds a competing chip or a government steps in.

I switched from my mainstay Fedora 32 with GNOME to KDE Neon about a month ago, after playing with a couple of desktop options. I’m about to go into the reboot after installing this update, but so far KDE plus Latte Dock has been a great place to live. I decided that even with the older release of Ubuntu, that the real goal for getting the latest packages was to get new destkop packages, and Neon is basically as fresh as it gets as far as that goes.
Adobe should want everyone to feel like they need a Creative Cloud license. If any of it worked on Linux, I might even see the appeal and push my company to get me one. Linux is just another platform to target, one a lot of professionals use and is sorely missing a decent creative suite. So is my Chromebook, for that matter. I thought Adobe was all about this cross-platform stuff, seeing them target an iPadOS version of Photoshop is disappointing.
I would say one leg up many Linux users have is they have experienced installing it from scratch, and therefore know they can do it again if they end up breaking everything. If you know you can bring it back to a working state no matter how bad you screw something up, it liberates you to experiment a bit more.
