So the same shitstorm that hit when the new Ubuntu interface came on is now hitting Gnome 3. I wish the Linux interface designers would realize that desktops are not tablets and that they should be making a super polished desktop interface and not trying to break everything down.
The good thing about Linux though is that in Linux you always have options. There is always another GUI. So I think linux should be able to survive this wrong turn relatively unscathed.
- ori_b 15y agoHeh. I agree. But while you're telling that to the Linux guys, remember to tell it to both the Windows 8 and OSX Lion designers as well.
- Derbasti 15y agoActually, I feel that while Win7 and Lion simplified things, they didn't really take many features away. Some Linux designers seem to confuse removing complexity with removing functionality. But then, this is Linux, so someone will add the functionality and complexity back in soon enough.
- hristov 15y agoYou are right. I just don't care much about what MS or Apple do with their UI's nowadays.
- munchhausen 15y agos/Linux interface designers/GNOME interface designers/ I don't think that KDE4 or Xfce, much less other alternatives, are moving towards a tablet-inspired interface.
