If accidentally clicking or dragging results in messing up their settings, I'd say the problem is a brittle user interface, not normal people having problems configuring their surroundings. If normal people cannot use the user interface, then the user interface has a design failure ("bug"), by definition. (Unless the intended audience is not normal people, but if that is the case for Linux, we shouldn't be installing Linux for normal users.)
- dotancohen 9y agoI agree 100%. KDE 4 was terrific, and it came _so close_ to being great for normal users. But the settings were just too easy to set.
- oblio 9y agoWhat you're saying is actually an age old UI error, related to this: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/12/choices/ https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/12/choices/ Search in the page for "half the screen was grey" :)
- dotancohen 9y agoI remember that page well. Joel was probably the first "blog".
