Linux system manufacturer System76 introduced a beautiful looking Linux distribution called Pop!_OS. But is Pop OS worth an install? Read the Pop OS review and find out yourself.
"GNOME started life as an all-FOSS-all-the-time alternative to KDE, and used GTK (the GIMP toolkit), which has always been gratis and libre."
And then it took over GTK and perverted it beyond recognition.
GNOME also originally stood for GNU Object Model Environment, and it had a clear mission. After a little while, they decided they didn't care about the mission, or the name, and they dumped that.
Now it just means annoying little creep that needs to stay out of my garden.

Given that it was founded by Icaza, that then went on to unsuccessfully start a couple of companies based on cloning Microsoft software (the file explorer, Outlook) before finally getting aqui-hired by Microsoft over the .NET clone Mono, one may wonder.
Never mind that we have another code monkey running roughshod through the Linux ecosystem right now, Poettering...
Yeah, I've had my suspicions about de Icaza and Poettering for years now. They're blunting Hanlon's Razor, because at this point the question "are they double agents or just completely up their own asses?" pans out the same way with either response...
