I think that’s the start of the conversation. Which Desktop Environment?

IMO:

  • want to show off? i3wm with gaps and rofi for menu launcher. Add it some transparency effects too.

  • want the MacOS style? Gnome. Default on a lot of distros.

  • want something stable? XFCE. Install and forget.

Things preventing me from moving to Linux : video games and Adobe Lightroom.

Notepad has long been a testbed for new technology in Windows. This isn’t just a sign of enshittification, it’s a warning that they want to do more.

The recent update was the first time in decades they’ve touched it. How has it ‘long been a testbed of new technology’ ?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple does something like this too at some point in the future
