Speaking as someone who never used Gnome, has only ever used Cinnamon, I was recently shopping for distros to try on an old work laptop. My only real awareness of Gnome was via the Gnome Terminal that ships with Linux Mint, which I've replaced with Konsole because Gnome Terminal has really minimal functionality and feels like Baby's First Terminal. I browsed the Gnome org's website to try to see why I should choose Gnome, in their words. I noped out as soon as they started trying to sell Gnome as being a phone-like experience on my desktop. This article confirms that that instinct was correct. It was both tragically hilarious and informative. Thanks for sharing!
