So much for you not being an idiot.  Ubuntu didn't "blindly" do
anything, they just made the wrong choice for their default UI.  You
could still choose to run a classic UI.  None of the other distros,
AFAIK, followed that lead at all.

Exactly, I happen to think M$'s GUI is logical, and voila, Mint
Cinnamon gives me essentially the same thing.  Choice.  Others want
something else.  Also, choice.  It's beautiful.

'What -hh said about Photoshop - expensive, waste, Gimp does the same
for free - is exactly the written position of most if not all
"advocates" on cola.'  -  DumFSck, lying shamelessly

I wouldn't assert that GIMP is in every respect equal to Photoshop,
but I can say that I was not especially impressed with Photoshop, I
still had months left on my year of it when I deleted Win11, and
couldn't give a fuck less.  GIMP all the way, now.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
