      I asked that once and it is pretty different.

      1. GNOME didnt look like that all the time. I dont know when but they went from bottom panel to top panel to left side panel to this layout.
      2. The top bar is used differently. Workspace indicator, but no global menu (which makes no sense) or app menu. Extensions can make it pretty much the same
      3. The dock is hidden and forces the workflow with workspaces. I dont think thats a crazy feature and dash to dock makes it equal again
      4. The window buttons are different
      5. The top bars are thicker etc.

      Some settings are different, the tiling works better but yeah it is too similar.

        If anything to me gnome always seemed like some weird mix between macos, android, and chrome OS. That might be the material style theming though.

        GNOME has had a top panel for over 20 years, it just used to have two panels.

        It’s been a while since I’ve used Gnome, but back when I did I also felt it lacked a lot of configurability much like the Mac.

        In comparison, KDE felt a lot more like Windows (or how Windows used to be in the past) where you could configure and tweak all sorts of things.

          Okay… I don’t agree and I think it’s very objectively obvious that there are huge differences in the UX and design philosophy.
