Linux needs usability maniacs

• blueflow 11y ago
  I als cant believe it displays me a USB Stick when i plugged my portable harddisk in! No, jk. Never expected them too match up. Don't see this as a problem.

    This is perhaps why these things don't get fixed. A Linux user does not see this as a problem. This is a problem for someone who is not a Linux user. Most users will not actually see the problem. They will just find the system clunky to use. They will not be able to point at what makes it clunky, let alone fix it themselves.

      On Windows i also get the wrong icon displayed.
      • bitbandit 11y ago
        What icon do you get on Windows? an iPod or some generic USB device icon?
        • blueflow 11y ago
          I was just kidding around. Im pretty sure its impossible to get the icons right because alot of optically different devices are technically equivalent.

  maybe this is not the right thread, but the truth is well described by Torvalds: Why is Linux not competitive on desktop? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNnGMBMJKNM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNnGMBMJKNM
