Isn't GNOME also open source? I thought "FOSS" means the conjunction of
both.

Also, the kind of user who might identify the environment as
a non-Windows one is probably the kind who uses GNU/Linux anyway. (I
would assume that most Windows users either woulnd't notice, or would
think that it is kind of a customized theme or something. I don't know
about MacOS users; they are a rare phenomenon, since MacOS is rather an
exotic choice.)
