We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human (www.windowscentral.com)

The line between helpful tech and quiet surveillance is blurring — and our devices no longer feel fully under our control.

    There's no forced Gnome 3 (and it's not been called that for a long time either), because you choose to install it, have the freedom to install anything else you want, and can customise it infinitely if you so choose.

    Besides, Gnome is great. Maybe you don't like it, but it seems odd to say that the way Linus Torvalds uses Linux is the "wrong" way to use Linux.

    If you want to keep using Gnome 2 there are a million forks that are actively maintained, or idk you could just use another desktop. Nobody is forcing you to use gnome but you aren't entitled to having a project do things the way you specifically want.
