They absolutely do not. Their UX is based on actual usability studies, rather than just copying the Win95 UX paradigm.

You should look it up, it’s actually quite interesting.The attention to detail and the thought process of pretty much every UI element is pretty crazy.

Gnome is amazing so long as you’re not trying to use it like Windows. It’s not Windows. It’s not trying to be.

If you want to use Linux with a Windows UX, then use Plasma or Cinnamon.

Personally I find it quite refreshing to have a different choice, and IMO it’s worked out better. Even when I use Plasma, I now get rid of the taskbar/panel, use the activities view, etc. change it to the Gnome workflow, in effect.

It’s childish to call a UX bad just because you personally like things to work like Windows.
