New GNOME dialog on the right:

Apple’s dialog:

They say GNOME isn’t a copy of macOS but with time it has been getting really close. I don’t think this is a bad thing however they should just admit it and then put some real effort into cloning macOS instead of the crap they’re making right now.

Here’s the thing: Apple’s design you’ll find that they carefully included an extra margin between the “Don’t Save” and “Cancel” buttons. This avoid accidental clicks on the wrong button so that people don’t lose their work when they just want to click “Cancel”.

So much for the GNOME, vision and their expert usability team :P

They should simply find the courage to implement Apples Human Interface Guidelines. It wont hurt and they are almost there anyway.

That’s my point. :)

However for this they would need to admit to themselves that they’re essentially a copy of macOS.

I totally agree - Apple invested alot of cash and time into this, just take it and make it better here and there. Just a few steps left :)

You mean, copy it and make it open :P I guess something along the lines of https://github.com/CuarzoSoftware/Louvre

@ehopperdietzel is working on that it seems.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
