The application name thing is Gnome-, not Ubuntu-, specific.
- fomine3 4y agoI argue GNOME is the problem on Linux desktop. I should say thanks for their massive work, but I feel everything is wrong on GNOME.
- akho 4y agoI don’t use Gnome (want tiling, am able to set up whatever, only use like 3 applications), but feel it’s pretty amazing. My 6-yo with no prior knowledge of computing devices that aren’t an iPad can use it (to launch Scratch, watch videos I loaded, show around his photos, and keep an audio diary) after 10 minutes of explanation, and seems to prefer it for some things over the iPad. My 70+ yo parents (with computing experience starting from the late 1960s, but limited capacity for new bullshit) use it with no issues. My wife uses it for the few tasks she doesn’t do on her phone, and is fine with it. I occasionally use it (as a minimum, to show things to all of them), and it’s very easy to remember how. By comparison, other environments (I include Windows) are overwhelming and have tons of confusing stuff that only gets in the way. This is all re: vanilla Gnome, not whatever Ubuntu delivers.
