It looks heavily inspired by macOS. Especially if you scroll down to the “Core Apps” section. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
As the one who works simultaneously with macOS and Linux, I would be happy to see some unification. I'm not speaking about visual differences or look-n-feel of the apps, but common tasks like desktop switching or window switching - things you do hundreds times a day. Those IMO should involve as little brain as possible and rely on muscle memory.
This is my favorite thing about this update. That along with that mac hotkey tools for linux should make the transition back and forth easier.
Mac hot key tools?
Yeah this tool called Kinto[1] was posted on here the other day.
