    Gnome devs are UX design geniuses. They made a desktop environment that is highly suitable for both touch and desktop usage (Windows wasn’t successful with that goal). It’s also beginner-friendly without being cartoonish like Windows XP.

      I first realized this when I tilted my HP laptop sideways to read something on the back and the GNOME DE flipped 90 degrees to match the new up orientation. flip it other side it redid orientation, tilt thev whole laptop back resets to normal Horizontal layout. Amazing planning.

        I mean, Windows does that. The Windows that came installed on the Lenovo Flex I got has really good adaptive UI. If it’s in tablet mode, the UI smoothly adjusts to be touch friendly and flipping works in any direction. That’s why I’m trying to find Linux that can be this good.
