1.You can disable automatic updates.
2.You can remove the notification applets in the gnome-panel.
3.Probably it was a case of bad network. And hourglass belonged to Windows, you shouldn't expect it here.
4.That's what you do. Be patient.
5.You shouldn't have clicked it again because the first instance is still loading.
6.Be patient.
7.I told you, point 5.
If you think that these are valid enough reasons to believe the usability of Linux is poor, I really sympathize with you. And all of this is about updating the system. When I can update Windows or OSX by just issuing a command like "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" I will change my operating system.
- kgo 15y agoThat was just one simple example to illustrate X goofiness. I wasn't complaining about updating in particular, I was complaining about the UI when I perform a common operation. I just want reliable feedback to say that my operation is running. It's fine if the hourglass is a windows thing, but how am I supposed to know an app is actually loading on linux then? Pull up a terminal, run 'ps -Af | grep synaptic"? Not very friendly. But if we want to stick with the update example, try opening System Preferences on OSX or the Control Panel on Windows twice. Even on purpose. It's pretty tough to do. And yet it happens to me all the time by accident on linux all the time.
