  • Lil_tank gave a good response but one telling giveaway is the antisemitic moral panic that Israel generated in the West where real cases of antisemitism were drowned out by Zionists calling any antizionist Jew a “auto-antisemite”

    Also Israel collaborated with the Nazis which I think is antisemitic but I’m sure the CEO of Judaism (“Israel”) can correct me on this one /sarcasm.

    The reason you don’t talk about it because antizionist Jews are in danger of being hate crimed and ostracized by their Zionist peers and family. It is a death cult of anti-Jewish thought that runs counter to all of ancestral Jewry that was enabled by the same antisemitic west that led to the european shoah.









  • The two proprietary desktops are so feature-bloated that it’s hard to say exactly what “creative inspiration” was taken but KDE devs have talked about how they noticed Windows likes to copy KDE and even Deepin for their desktop for the “new and improved” ugly bottom bar that Windows users love to tell everyone they hate.

    MacOS and Windows and KDE all use Qt as their toolkit so it’s not hard to see the similarities.


  • Fedora Workstation or Silverblue. They come with the latest GNOME desktop environment which is closer to Mac’s design vision minus all appleisms and steve jobs worship. You can easily install extensions using the extension manager flatpak application which adds neat functionality like window tiling and blur.

    If you want complete customization and control you can instead use Fedora KDE/Kinoite which you can customize to look like MacOS or your own custom design. I personally think KDE is generally more powerful and feature-rich than GNOME but GNOME has a simple but unique and intuitive design that doesn’t change and the GNOME devs are legit artisans when it comes to eye candy. GNOME is also the default Linux desktop on a lot of distros which is a plus.

    Silverblue and Kinoite are atomic variants of Fedora that are based around atomic (one-click) updates to the OS image. It eliminates the haphazard-ness of Linux updates but certain things that are basic on non-atomic spins are slightly more involved (like installing additional programs outside of the ones in the image).

    There are people here who say that GNOME is a copy of MacOS I want to let you know that you that you are deeply unserious, one desktop is functional and the other is MacOS.

    Same thing with people who say KDE is a Windows clone like Windows 11 didn’t just steal KDE design language but made it worse because unlike KDE which is unified, just a few clicks in Windows you are suddenly transported to 2010 with the old Windows control panels, and Windows users vastly prefer the older menus.

    Linux desktops are superior to their proprietary rivals. We may not have Adobe (lmao who needs that shit 🥴), we may not have HDR (not yet, check back in a couple of months or half a year), we don’t have display mirroring (okay that one is valid) but our workflow is far superior.
