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.

GNOME settings are not obscured? And if you want more customization you can use tweaks, which, it's true, don't have centralized settings, but you have the power -- on MacOS you'd be paying $5-10 for every tweak.
Just a simple example, on vanilla gnome you can not set nightlights to "always", how stupid is that? Yeah there are some tweaks made by people you can download from the official gnome website... But than you have to trust their plugin/scripts...
I really don't like that kind of modification :/
Yeah MacOS is probably the worst OS/GUI that ever existed, and that's why following a similar path sounds just a bad idea...
