I call it Cinematography: The Movie

When I first started using Linux over 20 years ago, I did try Gnome. Then went back to KDE immediately.
From what I have read in those 20+ years, the design philosophy hasn’t changed.
Well yeah, of course. More relevantly, I even heard their insurance approval rate shifted positive… For a few months anyway. But If it’s not back down already I assume it will be eventually. The profit pressure is still there.
