random comment to see if i can comment… (im not a bot)
Linux Mint was designed to deliver a smooth landing from Windows, and if you’re the type of guy to have a problem with it, then the entire FOSS communtiy is gonna have a problem with you, because you’re making it harder for people to escape from corporate solutions.
I mean… I used to have a macbook with Linux inside customized to look like Windows 🥸😈
I just want an icon only taskbar at the bottom and a Windows 7-like application launcher. Besides that it doesn’t have to look like Windows at all.
AeroThemePlasma iykyk
Thats fine its your linux.
Yeah gatekeeping is exactly how we get people to try Linux…
Ooh wait, that’s the opposite.
Let people use Linux however they want. That’s the whole point of the OS family, it’s incredibly customisable
There is a heckuva lot to be said for the classic “start” category based app menu, tied to a task bar. XFCE, MATE, OpenBox, all draw from a paradigm established in the Windows 95 design.
Its not a bad design. Personally, I couldn’t get used to anything else (and I’ve tried). My first PC had Win 95 and I’m now on a Plasma desktop.
Microsoft is doing a great job at completely crippling the fuck out of their start menu though, proving once again they have no idea what direction they’re going in.
W8 I get it.
I frequently compare my XFCE setup to Windows 95. The job of an OS is to run programs.
Now, now, are we talking windows 11 or XP?
So it like you used this service for long, then the one who responsible for the service sucks suddenly, the alternative of that service is somewhat close but not carbon copy of your service, apparently you can involve yourself in adjusting the alternative to your liking , it is optional but alass it is inevitable.
Welcome to the world of customization, customer.
Well I use,
- META+E: Files
- CTRL+SHIFT+ESC: System Monitor
- META+I: Settings
- ALT+TAB: Switch Windows
Yeah I don’t use Linux for the sake of it being different. Keyboard shortcuts are not what I dislike about Windows so why change muscle memory?
They paid millions in user trails and data to get there and then did windows 8
Ah when I got my android phone as a kid copied the newest iPhone with it to show you didn’t need to pay all that for the same experience. Transitionary times are fun
