          The idea is that you’re not supposed to minimize windows at all under Gnome’s workflow, and you maximize by double-clicking the headerbar to save space. You get used to it.

            It’s a bit weird to me how, on a post regarding a GNOME update, people feel the need to come out of the woodwork to explain how they prefer to use Plasma or any other DE or WM.

            This is Linux, you can use whatever you feel like using. Let people be happy with what they’re happy with.

              Nobodies stopping anybody from being happy with what they use by criticizing it.

              That would only be an issue for people who can’t think for themselves. And if you’re one of them, you have bigger problems to worry about than ‘being happy’ with your DE.

          tbh not the best choice but that’s just their design language I guess. what I was asking about tho was this post’s redesign specifically

      I think “modern” can be interpreted as nice and clean UI which is beautiful to watch and only the absolutely most important stuff is shown and the rest is hidden. So, like apple design approaches, I guess. Say form over function. Microsoft tends to go that route as well. Luckily for user who like function over form, there are different flavors of Linux.
