I wonder whether UX tests are performed during the development of Gnome. A big number of the design decisions seeming arbitrary. Overall there is very little usability progress since Gnome 3 appeared.
Gnome has long been my favorite desktop, but they never managed to trim Gnome for usability and efficiency. Instead their followed a weird concept of minimalism and a pointless touch oriented (as if anyone would use it on a smart phone!) UI.
As much as I like the idea of Linux as my primary desktop OS, I've given up.
In the future I see Windows macOS and ChromeOS but no Linux on classical computers (not smartphones and tablets).
