For example, when selecting a font for the gedit text editor - there is no way to ask it to only show monospace fonts.
IMHO the gnome UI devs played to much with MacOS X and Tablets.
I’d say they played too *little* with OS X. That, or they tried to clone it without grokking it first.
The standard Mac OS X font picker *does* have a Fixed Width option.
The only GUI text editors on my Mac OS X box that don’t use this mechanism to select fonts are cross-platform apps that make you edit a JSON file to change fonts. (Sublime Text and Visual Studio Code.)
And ironically, editing a config file to change fonts is more Unixy than Mac OS X.
For me switching to XFCE as DE helped enormously in getting work done, not getting angry at the UI all the time was a nice plus.
CentOS has a GUI? Since when?
My CentOS GUI is called SecureCRT. :)
