Well, question of taste. I use Fedora 36 with Gnome precisely because I like the provided vanilla experience. I enjoy its simplicity, minimalism and it is nice looking enough for me for not having to spend time on tuning anything.

Mine now looks mostly like this, so that I don't have to re-learn UI conventions: https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2022/04/02/2130

This looks exactly like MacOS though. If you like the ux/ui of MacOS that's fine, but I still don't see any reason why you say gnome devs are off the mark in terms of UX. For the record, I prefer keeping the dock out of view and pulling it up with the super key

I wonder. What are your thoughts on KDE plasma?

I used KDE back in the 2004-2007 time frame then switched to GNOME. Back then, I think GNOME was similar enough to KDE that I hardly noticed much difference. I haven't used KDE since then, but I take it for a spin every 2 years just to see what's going on: * Ubuntu KDE (Kubuntu 22.04) is one of the few Ubuntu flavors (I think Lubuntu was the other one) that would not automatically scale the font for my 2560x1440 14"…

Hmm i've had bad experiences with kubuntu too back when I tried it. More so than any other distro commonly utilising kde at least. Configs seemed broken by default or just weird.

I dare say it's not properly maintained.
