rdping to the server and doing whatever you need to do is much faster. it is there and works about half the time though.

the featureless idiocy and imaginary target user didn't start in gnome 3. they started deleting features from gnome back in what, 2.10 ? 2.12 ? migrating to a "spatial" file browser, fewer preferences dialogues, etc

the last versions of gnome 2 were much, much less useful and usable than the earlier iterations

The only thing white people deserve is a bullet to their empty skull
trip report: i installed centos 7 on a vm and it was a hilarious failure

i encountered gnome 3 classic mode for the first time



it's bad. i actually liked being able to put miniature application launcher icons in the menu bar in older rhel/centos. it was poo poo ui design but at least it gave me quick access to the essentials (browser, terminal). now for some reason that capability is gone and for reasons the area to the right of the menus is some kind of taskbar, because the one on the bottom of the screen wasn't enough. wtf??? who thought double taskbars was a good idea

to add insult to injury, the dupe taskbar is terrible. note to gnome ui designers, putting icons behind text without making sure the text is always high contrast against any background? that is bad design. bad bad bad

the workspace switcher in the bottom right is somehow worse than before, it's like the people writing this poo poo have been given a mandate to simplify it without actually thinking about usability in any way

speaking of which, they've revamped preferences in an attempt to ape apple's system preferences.app, which is good, but have gone way overboard removing things in an attempt to ape apple's minimalism, which is bad (as in they literally offer fewer knobs to twiddle than mac oh ess ten)

the user interface animations commit the cardinal sin of ui animu: animating on mouse down. tbf apple sometimes does this too but much less often

this one isn't a regression, but gnome still hasn't realized they should copy the correct way to handle menus with submenus from 1990s era macos, so selecting poo poo in submenus is (still) unnecessarily annoying and difficult


oh and after i got done installing centos and updates and then installing the program i needed to run, xilinx vivado, it turned out that vivado segfaults on rhel/centos 7 because gently caress you. idk whose fault that is im perfectly willing to blame it on either party

so now i've deleted that vm and made a centos 6.6 one and the ui is poo poo but at least somewhat usable. also its ui is way the gently caress faster than centos 7 so chalk that up as another regression in gnome. but holy lol i'm still using a 2.6 series kernel ityool 2015

whoops spoke too soon it is a regression. the default gnome desktop in centos 6.6 does this the right way

i'm comparing the default desktops of centos 6.6 and centos 7 holding (virtual) hardware constant. 6.6 is usable and actually quite fast. 7 not so much.

if anything 7 ought to have the advantage here because it might have a kernel new enough for vmware fusion's 3d accel features to actually work. 6.6 sure doesn't.

i've never gotten the whole "lets use two panels" on either Gnome 2 or 3 Classic Mode. i split my time evenly between RHEL and OS X, but at least i keep as much usable window space available.

does it somehow insist on drawing every animation frame, rather than timeboxing the animation?

I don't think so, I assumed by "slow" he meant a stuttery mess.

stuttery because low frames per second. maybe it was actually because it was relying on hw accel to rasterize zoomy effects etc and none was there? idk.

it's possible the animations weren't timeboxed but i didn't really put a lot of time into close observation before i deleted the vm. i probably could have lived with it but after some googling i decided there was no point in spending time figuring out how to make vivado run on it when i had a perfectly good centos 6 dvd image already downloaded

my experience with Ubuntu 14.10 with an FX 5200 was that the animations weren't timeboxed and insisted on showing me every composited frame no matter how long it took. throwing a 6200 in that system and switching to the NVidia drivers made the animations take ~1s, showing just what stupid bullshit the UI was pulling.

I've never gotten the obsession with horizontal panels. our monitors are getting wider and shorter, surely the only logical thing to do is to shift to taking up space at either side instead

and yet no version of gnome I've ever tried has had good support for vertical panels. xfce does it well every third version and then breaks it horribly for a year because xfce uniquely combines cadt development methodologies with no testing whatsoever. kde and windows both do it very well though, gratz

compiz animations are absolutely timeboxed. if ur whackass crystal prison graphics driver is you can cj the animation times and timestep with ccsm. lol lunix tho

functionally kde4 was pretty good, everyone hated it because the interface was ugly as gently caress and felt like it was designed by and for people who spend so much time in a dark room that they need sunglasses in the presence of a 40 watt light bulb. you could try to make it look nicer but that usually had the side effects of misaligned buttons, squished icons and cut-off controls.
