Not a typo, just an old formulation that’s sometimes used. See https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/52596/proper-usage-origin-of-the-generic-phrase-action-phrase-does-not-a-noun-mak for some discussion.

Could you post a link to what you’re referencing? I think I’ve read it before but I can’t seem to find it via web searches anymore.

“don’t care for” is just a polite way to say “don’t like”. The author does care, at least enough to write a fairly lengthy blog post, they just don’t like Gnome and expressed in in a somewhat dated manner. You of course don’t have to care, and as the blog says, if you like Gnome, you do you.

Out of curiosity, was there anything in the post that resonated with you? “Oh yeah, that could be better” or “that does annoy me”, something along those lines?
