this reeks of armchair commentary,
ubuntus network manager has been first class for ~2 years, I have less problems on ubuntu that I do with my mac in regards to broadband dongles, its audio has also been long fixed
the aesthetic changes (purple to brown) are a large improvement that everyone asked for, the window buttons really dont matter that much (and they can be moved back)
the core application was very much a niche issue for those messing around inside a bootloader, its not like opening notepad ran rm -rf /
and as for the system tray, im not particularly fussed either way, but I am glad that someone is worrying and doing something about ui issues instead of sticking to the status quo
- sesqu 17y agoThe most annoying feature of GNOME Ubuntu for me, after the look&feel, is the managers. I use a LAN; I don't want a network manager. I use a desktop; I don't want a power manager. I have speakers; I don't want a sound manager. If there's a way to hide them, it's not simple. You can't just uninstall them, because they've taken over the duties of actually managing the resources as well, in addition to just showing me information I don't want.
