From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Your point being...?
His point is that you have no point.
My point is: if you want to copy / be inspired by others at least do it right.
So, copying is making something identical. But something that’s different would rationally be called not copying, whereas you categorize it as poor copying. Interesting.
Ever hear of two things just being similar? We are talking about a UI - these things have always followed patterns that change as usage patterns change in the industry. I think you must be young and/or inexperienced because this kind of trend goes back to the ‘80s.
I would categorize it as poor copying because the copy doesn't conform to the design / UX patterns that were present on the "original" work.
Bro... There is but so many ways to effectively organize something basic like that jfc.
Best or standard practice, ever heard of the concept?
If it is standard design, it is not targeting iOS. That is his point.
