  • Like others have said, it’s very dependent on work flows and personal preference.

    I dislike the MacOS interface. Gnome and its derivatives aren’t that, but it borrows enough design cues that I don’t find it intuitive. (Though I recognize why other people do find it intuitive.)

    Most other DEs jive with me. I can effortlessly switch between Plasma or XFCE. I like Enlightenment and LXQT, but generally don’t go for them first. Cinnamon is fine, but I like most others more.

    I like to play with things. I’ll get my hands on a beat-up old laptop, try a few distros and desktop environments on it, then find it a new home. Linux makes it great to experiment like that.





  • Yeah, Black Flag’s seafaring was fun. It was enjoyable to guide your ship around, explore the random tiny unnamed islets, dive into the ocean and hear the crew laugh about the captain jumping overboard.

    Yes, collecting every last thing was a grind. But it was a fun grind. It felt like I was choosing to do all that, even though the game was psychologically goading me into it.

    (Insert philosophical discussion about free will related to a video game about genetic memory and following predicted behavior.)
