I'm not surprised that Feren wrote that post, he was always a bit of a goofball, but thats great, cause we need some laughter right about now. :D

The truth is, Gnome is the Microsoft of Linux. Once you realize that, you can act accordingly.

Zorin OS 12.4 has an older version of Gnome that is out today, but even then, Gnome was not letting me do what I wanted to do with desktop customisability. Its that whole thing of Gnome knows best right? Well, wrong! I installed XFCE desktop, and I load into it instead.

At least that one was easy to tell your leg was being pulled. When he said, "Monopolizing is a great way to go!" I knew someone was fulla it. ;)

Make sure you got your 16 gigabytes onboard, otherwise Gnome will RAM your ROM, then seek your hard drive to fragment it to a boat load of bad sectors, until your system crashes from getting its megabytes ripped from lack of protection.

It will get so bad, that the motherboard is fried and is smoking out the capacitors, it will make you think back to when you learned your ABC's, and realize that instead of ABCD-EFG, you should have ABCD-NVME a brand new M-DOT-2 SSD, with a new copy of XFCE :D
