Also away from home, but also willing to do the same here. I even have an old-school coffee grinder like the slop generated. Got a couple of proper Bialetti Moka pots and a Hario grinder too. Maybe have my old gen Delonghi Magnifica in the background. I'll check back in here on Monday, I wanna see where this goes.

To be fair, I probably wouldn't feel the need to care about GNOME at all were it not for the fact that it still the standard DE for large, newbie-facing distros. I still favour the Windows paradigm, and a lot other people do too, and it doesn't really matter whether it's familiarity or actually preferring it (which I genuinely do). I don't really appreciate hearing the standard GNOME-user polemics about it, especially when both sides usually end up acknowledging that it's personal preference. I'm not saying you're using that argument out of bad faith, but it's the kind of thing I see a lot and it really bothers me, because it is/would be rightly criticised were it the other way round.

Point is, some people just genuinely don't like GNOME, and it doesn't have to be because of simplicity (Plasma is rarely referred to as simple), familiarity, or a hate-boner for GNOME or Mac.

You know you're doing things right when there's 2.5 million downloads to change a core paradigm of your DE.

Believing that science yields universally true results or is the only method of finding truths, however, is an ontology and something you have to believe.

Edit: I'm not anti-science or anything, just a pedant.
