Wasting? Gnome is amazing. Money and time extremely well spent.

I get that some people hate that Gnome isn’t another WinUX desktop, but they need to get over it. Either accept it and adapt to a more modern workflow, add an extension like Dash to Panel, or use one of the dozen other desktop environments, most of which are designed with a WinUX or something similar.

I also don’t really see why you’re putting quotes around vision lol. Every project has a vision.
