I always have to keep reminding myself it's different in other countries, I have never seen a single accident relating to bikes and bike lanes. Maybe some confusion at crosswalks or traffic lights.
I do like gnome for how out of the way it stays. It's easy for new users to understand its lack of distractions and start to actually just use software on it. It's got its target audience.
I'm not saying it can't be done better. Cinnamon, my current personal choice, does most of the same things right.
I haven't used KDE much because of graphical issues on my device, but it seems like a nightmare getting workspaces or gestures set up. It seems like the polar opposite of 'distractionless', where you can spend hours learning and/or getting lost in a maze of submenus. I understand that's an appeal to some.
I want to love KDE, and I might retry sometime soon, but as a casual it does make me appreciate what gnome is doing.
I'm still locked out, and can only log in and play with my paid account through unofficial clients. Support felt like being kicked in the nutte sac repeatedly. Thank you Microsoft, very cool
