Linux on Desktop still sucks

One decade later, GNOME still sucks
MARCH 4, 2023 / FELIPEC

New nonsense
If I tried to list the number of mistakes, this post would become a book, but I want to explore one at dept: the alt-tab behavior nonsense.

The GNOME project listed a bunch of references to justify their redesign, but it's clear that they didn't even read them. One related to workspaces was titled: Rooms: the use of multiple virtual workspaces to reduce space contention in a window-based graphical user interface. If the title doesn't give the purpose away, here's a sentence in the abstract:

Swan wrote:
Rooms is a window manager that overcomes small screen size by exploiting the statistics of window access, dividing the user's workspace into a suite of virtual workspaces with transitions among them.

Swan wrote:
The purpose of workspaces is to divide windows, this should be obvious, but if it wasn't obvious, this paper explained the reasons why in detail.

GNOME developers did the opposite of what their own reference suggested: they made alt-tab cycle through all the windows without any separation.

Not only did the new behavior go against their own references, it was different from macOS's behavior, Windows' behavior, every other Linux window manager, GNOME 2, but more importantly... common sense.

Linus Torvalds on why desktop Linux sucks

HarveyH55 wrote:
Think you are confusing user interface, with operating system. Before Windows, we had MS-DOS. Which was a little tough to get into for most people. Couple dozen commands, some with dozens of parameters. The command line syntax... With limited memory and drive space, you only had to load what was needed for an application. To make it easier, you created a Batch file, which was like a custom made command, and could be shared with others. To make using DOS easier, people started making Shells as an alternative to the command line interface. Some sucked, didn't really help all that much, since you still had to provide the parameters. Suppose it was better than remembering which parameters are needed, in which order... Windows is a user interface. Graphical User Interface to be more precise. Which seems to be your issue with Linux. You bought Windows, because the marketing hype, and well, because you needed it to run a lot of software titles. I didn't buy Windows, until the software I wanted to use, was no longer released in MS-DOS versions. Windows consumes a lot of resources. Linux is command line, but you can install which ever user interface you want, even write your own. Yeah, a lot of them probably 'suck', compared to what you already learned (Windows). It's a different environment, takes time to learn. You don't like parts of it, it sucks, and you install something that you hope is better. No marketing hype, or being trapped into using it anyway. You have options, and most people explore more, than settle in and learn the tools. Really comes down to preferences. If the operating system and user interface is the most import thing you use on the computer. Dedicate the most resources on your machine to it. Linux allows you to minimize how much operating system is loaded, leaving the application to use most of your computer's resources.

Of course for you, surfing gay porn doesn't require much system resources, so in doesn't matter. Working with 3D models, video editing, graphics, you'd want more resources available.

Well the mental midget strikes again, as according to red hat linux is an operating system

What is Linux?

Overview
Linux® is an open source operating system (OS). An operating system is the software that directly manages a system's hardware and resources, like CPU, memory, and storage. The OS sits between applications and hardware and makes the connections between all of your software and the physical resources that do the work.

https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/linux/what-is-linux#:~:text=Linux%C2%AE%20is%20an%20open,resources%20that%20do%20the%20work.

Watched torpedoes being loaded at pier 31 on a nuclear attack sub at the largest submarine base in the World, they actually moved it with a forklift, then lifted it with a crane, and my son has a commendation from the secretary of the navy. I could tell you what for, but then I would have to...........Well you know the line.

You may now resume painting by the numbers.

And make sure the potatos are all peeled on time

So, now you know what an OS actually does... The difference is that Linux is the basic core, bare minimum needed. The user can choose what to add on to it, for their specific needs. Windows comes pre-loaded with a lot of crap you don't need, most will never ever use. Takes of drive space, physical memory, and CPU cycles. All to support any potential need, of any, and every user, all the time. Doesn't matter if it's you home computer, or you are running an office off it, you get the same crap by default. Some can be removed, but it's a tangle mess, and you take risks screw something up, you might actually need. Most users don't really give a crap about the hardware, or OS. What's important is the software applications they actually use to do work.

You probably never used any resource hungry software, and never had to wait more than a few seconds.

You got banned because you whine like a neglected child. You've probably have gotten banned on a lot of sites, probably most every site. Most don't permanently ban, unless you are repeatedly obnoxious, and don't learn from your 'time-out' periods. We have no moderation here, or you would have been banned in just a few posts...

Personally, I think you are F.B.R., and headed to the nursing home in a few years. Where you will enjoy your last 1-5 years babbling like a 4 year old.

Well the mental midget strikes again, as according to red hat linux is an operating system

What is Linux?

Overview
Linux® is an open source operating system (OS). An operating system is the software that directly manages a system's hardware and resources, like CPU, memory, and storage. The OS sits between applications and hardware and makes the connections between all of your software and the physical resources that do the work.

https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/linux/what-is-linux#:~:text=Linux%C2%AE%20is%20an%20open,resources%20that%20do%20the%20work.

Watched torpedoes being loaded at pier 31 on a nuclear attack sub at the largest submarine base in the World, they actually moved it with a forklift, then lifted it with a crane, and my son has a commendation from the secretary of the navy. I could tell you what for, but then I would have to...........Well you know the line.

You may now resume painting by the numbers.

And make sure the potatos are all peeled on time

So, now you know what an OS actually does... The difference is that Linux is the basic core, bare minimum needed. The user can choose what to add on to it, for their specific needs. Windows comes pre-loaded with a lot of crap you don't need, most will never ever use. Takes of drive space, physical memory, and CPU cycles. All to support any potential need, of any, and every user, all the time. Doesn't matter if it's you home computer, or you are running an office off it, you get the same crap by default. Some can be removed, but it's a tangle mess, and you take risks screw something up, you might actually need. Most users don't really give a crap about the hardware, or OS. What's important is the software applications they actually use to do work.

You probably never used any resource hungry software, and never had to wait more than a few seconds.

Wrong because ubuntu told me directly that I could not choose to add HP printer support unless I wrote the driver myself, then they banned me for embarrassing them shitless. So I ran partition magic and formatted linux away.

Thank you, thank you very much

Wrong, Ubuntu is only one of many user interfaces for Linux. You just grabbed the first one that popped on Google. You didn't look to see if it was what you needed. Of course, you are clueless about what you need, only you childish wants.

You got banned because you whine like a neglected child. You've probably have gotten banned on a lot of sites, probably most every site. Most don't permanently ban, unless you are repeatedly obnoxious, and don't learn from your 'time-out' periods. We have no moderation here, or you would have been banned in just a few posts... You didn't need partition magic, well maybe you, but everyone else would have used the command line in Windows, and MS-DOS... Doesn't matter what was previously on the disk, since Format talks to the drive controller, and overwrites the previous content.

But, continue on your journey to becoming a drooling moron, like Joe Biden, as that dementia sets in. There are treatments to slow, or stop you from getting worse, but not reverse the damage already done to your tiny brain. Personally, I think you are F.B.R., and headed to the nursing home in a few years. Where you will enjoy your last 1-5 years babbling like a 4 year old.

Does everyone inspire you like I do? or am I just special to you?

So how many apples do you own?

You have very limited reading skills... The quotes mean it figurative, not literal. But, you take it the way you enjoy most, sick alphabet man.
