No, I've not seen anything like that. And I know DLSS is "cheating", but it was genuinely impressive when I had it turned on in Control. It was the only non-ancient game I've been able to get to run at 60fps at 4k on a 2060.

Yeah, for whatever reason, my screens love to turn themselves back on after like 5 seconds of being off. Not sure if something is sending a signal, but I can just turn of my monitors myself. I'll have to fuck around with it more later.
As for DLSS, it is impressive. For me, though, the issues aren't so much that it's 'cheating' (I really don't care about 'cheating'; some people would say that using digital drawing tablets is cheating). It's really more that Nvidia is a complete fuckstick and developers are treating it as a requirement while putting out some, at best, middling looking games.

Also,
Big fan of this guy's channel but I hope he branches out from the usual "making $DE look like MacOS" and comes up with more aesthetic DE ricing.

I don't really get the obsession over the macOS interface. But I'm at the point where I think the Linux community needs to come to an agreement on gateway distros that they will all recommend to people unfamiliar with Linux
Probably KDE, as it's notifications system does a decent job of exposing systemD in a way that's easy to hook into. Seems Plasma6 is now available for testing.

They've been told that it's the gold standard. Usually by the people developing gnome, most of whom apparently use mac os as their primary developer OS, with linux in a vm.

Which explains a lot. Gnome is rather unpleasant in some ways, and the default interface is annoying

As someone who has used Windows, Linux (both KDE, GNOME, and XFCE), and macOS, macOS is considered the gold standard because it is by far the best. Yeah you can probably configure Linux or install tonnes of third party software to make Windows its equals, but that’s an awful lot of time and work when macOS is already just about perfect.

As someone who has also used all those things, I absolutely disagree. KDE is much more suited to my workflow than osx could ever be, and I'm not tied to an increasingly locked-down ecosystem, or apple's bizarre limitations on the command line and file system.

My goal is for my "Desktop Environment" to mostly get out of my way. In the before-times, FVWM. These days XFCE with basically no theme other than a top of the screen bar with my Applications menu, open window buttons and the usual desktop buttons/clock/logout.
OSX Pisses me off every time it puts a dialog under an existing window and it seems like the app has frozen until you drag stuff out of the way.
Windows pisses me off with the retarded "Search" instead of a simple Applications menu.
Sadly at the end of the day I use whatever my customers pay me to use, which is about 80% Windows, 19% OSX, 1% Use whatever you want, here's the VPN settings(Linux).

...and if you want to customize Gnome, you need a browser first because Gnome Extensions doesn't have the basic stuff.
I don't know why "Extensions Manager" has not replaced "Extensions" by default yet. I guess they don't want to give people too much freedom.

It's be nice if they had something like Zorin OS, where on launch it lets you choose your layout, with one being traditional gnome, macOS style, and windows old and new styles.

Oh, you sweet summer child. GNOME devs don’t work that way. If the devs don’t want a specific thing, they won’t implement it. And not only won’t they implement it, they won’t even slightly go out of their way to make it easy for someone to make a plug-in to do that thing. GNOME still doesn’t have image thumbnails in the file picker, because that would entail writing an API to use something very slightly more demanding to handle the actual file picking instead of the barebones and impractical file picker GTK gives them. They have one vision for their DE, and if you don’t share it you need to educate yourself because their vision is better, they’re the devs after all. Just recently they’ve even gone out of their way to make it harder to make third party themes for GNOME, because why would you want that when the devs have made Adwaita for you?
KDE meanwhile may be slightly buggy, but it’s very customisable and the devs are very open to suggestions for how to make it easier to do interesting new things with scripts and plugins. If you like GNOME perfectly, great, use it! If you don’t like something about GNOME, chances are you’ll find it easier to fix by just switching to KDE and configuring it to be exactly like GNOME except for the one thing you wanted to change instead.

Honestly that is the impression I get. If I didn't know better I'd suspect the GNOME devs of a competency crisis where they refuse to touch significant parts of the code because they no longer understand it or can rework it to be better. Which tbh doesn't make me comfortable using it.

This. To this day they don't allow the users to customize the login theme. You have to use a few command lines in a terminal to do it and I think it can be overwritten with an update.

Gnome has spawned multiple forks, including Cinnamon, Budgie, pantheon, and Cosmic. That alone adds to the confusion when recommending a distro to people new to Linux.
