When I started experimenting with #Linux again in 2024, I was very impressed at how mature everything had become since I last tried it in the mid-00s. The biggest surprise, though, was #GNOME. It had a level of intentionality and clarity of vision that far exceeded my expectations of a FLOSS project. It made me feel welcome and comfortable.

To the developers of @gnome : Thank you for having the audacity to strive for simplicity in the face of continued criticism from the community. It matters.

A screenshot of my GNOME desktop on Fedora. It features a purple-pink gradient wallpaper, and has a light colored top panel courtesy of the extension "Luminus". 

Three windows are open: 
1. Firefox, that has been given an Adwaita-theme using the app "Add Water", showing the website ottoojala.itch.io 
2. Gapless, playing the song "Berry Rock" by Lauri Kallio 
3. Apostrophe, with the following text:

"GNOME <3

Every day, when I sit down at my computer, I feel such appreciation that a bunch of talented people got together to make something as beautifully simple as modern GNOME.

(Finland got some love in this screenshot too. I don't know any Fins IRL, but you guys seem cool)"
