I’m trying to wrap my head around the fact that 10-15 years ago Linux was the OS with the worst UX, now it’s the one with the best UX.

Because it’s made by volunteers who only care about the result and their users, but Microsoft and Apple mostly care only about themselves.

@OndrejMirtes @frankrausch which flavour of Linux is the best UX? 🤔

@gerritvanaaken I love GNOME. Fedora gives you a good (beginner-friendly) vanilla GNOME configuration.

@frankrausch I have CashyOS and Gnome installed on a spare Dell Laptop. As long as you install only Gnome-optimized apps it’s all very consistent and nice, with 3 or 4 Gnome Tweaks, of course.

But, boy, there are some apps out there! Visually straight from the Windows 3.11 era. Technically they do run alright, but no, thanks! You won’t find such atrocities unter macOS.

@gerritvanaaken GNOME has excellent HIG: https://developer.gnome.org/hig/

Did you see the curated apps? https://apps.gnome.org/#circle

GNOME Human Interface Guidelines

@frankrausch yes, i know that. But I am still searching for a decent visual Git Client, SQL Client and FTP Client other than FileZilla. Lots of bad taste in these areas :-)

@gerritvanaaken I use Nautilus (Files) for FTP, which is decent. But for the other two categories I understand the pain.

@frankrausch Nautilus works well in principle, but has no bookmark management, which I need for my 40+ FTP/SFTP accounts from all my clients.
