I am old enough to have had years before Windows even existed. So I never switched to Windows, dodged a bullet there :)
Lol. I used Windows coz I wanted a GUI but BSDs or Linux was not good enough then.
My primary dislike is that gnome continually focuses on touch-centric UI over desktop UI and occasionally makes changes just for the hell of it which bother me and break extensions and themes. The recent changes to buttons just feel like they're chasing Android.
Despite all of that, when combined with a few extensions and customizations it remains my favorite despite experience, despite the vanilla experience being sub par. But not when it's broken obviously.
It's a love hate relationship.
I don't know why, I never liked Gnome. I used to use KDE, now I'm mostly using LXDE.
Fedora is just great.
And being a red hat certified sysadmin, I'm liking it even more.
