It's the type of mindset where everything must be positive, even if that means discounting or ignoring negative feelings, bad behavior, and bad situations.
This is a recognized psychological phenomena and can range from normal "keep your chin up" type stuff to full blown "FUD will not be tolerated" cult type stuff
I don't understand all the friction Gnome gets. Yes, I'm satisfied with everything default on the Debian/ Fedora Workstation. That's because the DE get's the hell out of my way and most everything can be easily managed without touching the mouse.
