@nixCraft that's a good text and its a long text too. My short version of: "Why I use #gnome " - I don't like #windows , and #KDE remembers me of windows.
I switched to #Linux between '99-'00. And I went with gnome. Because of some reasons I used #macos for some years. Only because it looks like gnome and because I want a little more comfort. Nowadays I'm using only #Linux + #gnome ( @fedora or #debian )
