you would think linux users would be the first ones to rally around a linux-focused project that made a real, honest attempt at fixing these problems "you're taking the power away from users" "this breaks my workflow" "its garbage kill yourselves" etc lol ok

i'm sorry but "hotcorners are bad and i have to move my mouse a little more than i'm used to" is not the UX breaker that "one button has multiple behaviors and we just tolerate it because thats what users expect lol"

maybe the next time you break the desktop paradigm try replacing it with something better rather than just breaking it because it's old.

here's a hint, unless you are designing an interface for a device called "iPad" or falls into the category of "phone" it shouldn't ape those interfaces for no loving reason. no one wants or uses touch screens

here's a fun tip: In xfce there is no way to turn off the "hold down shift to enable slow keys" functionality. Also the idiot accessibility menu wont even notice that slow keys are on, so you have to enable it and then disable it to actually disable it.

All i had to do for my parents to think Linux was amazing was set the web browser to start on sign in. When support expires for 12.04 they can buy a chromebox. Pretty much the same thing to them.
