there are maybe one or two things that osx does w/ window management that I'd like in windows but everything else is awful.

prob my fav recently added feature is the thing where you hover over an item in the task bar and get a thumbnail preview of the app and/or its tabs and then if you hover over the tabs it brings that window/tab forward for as long as you're hovering. altho for Linux I would suggest you start by adding font rendering that doesn't look like garbage. also hire someone to fix your icons. their all gross. altho tbqh I don't really even use Linux that much these days let alone a Linux gui. like really "just make it totally like windows" is your best option. that runs counter to linuxism but its also why it would be good. also I just got a little booklet for redhate training. can you take me off your mailing list? thanks.

Suspicious Dish posted:Let me know when you are seeing bad font rendering. We recently heavily improved the freetype autohinter, and so there's a few regressions here and there. Screenshots go a long way. I haven't used a Linux gui since like redhate/centos 5.2 or something and then it was the default gnome which is that really ugly one thats been on Linux forever. so I probably haven't seen ur newer guis. I meant a litteral mail item. snail mail. it was also a joke.

idk why youd use an app that would purposefully break the preview window for no reason. thats pretty dumb.

oval office AND PASTE posted:we only suffer 'tabs' to cater to environments that didn't have workspaces (like windows still doesn't) or to users didn't use them even if they were available actually its an extremely trivial thing if you're using the systems native ui components. even those ancient window w/ smaller interior windows (I forget the name of it) windows 3.11 style apps supported it cause its all just calls down to the native apis. failfox probably uses gtk or some similar garbage if it didn't work or something., idk if thats right though cause I seem to recall even firefox had it like a few months into the win7 beta. I cant know for sure cause I don't use bad browsers.

oval office AND PASTE posted:no, i remember it took a year or so after windows 7 release for it to even work into the testing builds, which i switched to right away and was disappointed that it never worked obviously in wpf is braindead easy http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff699128.aspx and that stuff all just binds down to windows forms or other win32 stuff. firefox must have its own internal window manager. that would also explain why it took them so long to fix their fonts by moving to the newer font system or whatever in vista.

Suspicious Dish posted:Genuinely honest, I don't use workspaces. They never fit into my workflow. So I'm not very familiar with the workspace code, or the arguments for/against them or why people are mad. workspaces are dumb and you should remove them. they are a hack that prevents you from fixing the problem they're supposed to solve

there should be 2 package modes: Extremely Autistic - only installs the bare minimum to make the thing do core functions. Autistic - installed by default. installs everything to make it work like a normal Linux user wants it to.

Suspicious Dish posted:Only an idiot would think that switching to Linux would lower costs. There were a few projects at Red Hat that started out with the initiative of "lower the price of a starting Linux sysadmin" to compete with Windows. They pivoted away from that goal, unfortunately. the only company that could possibly make a Linux compete w/ windows TCO has abandoned the concept.

right click the title bar or w/e at the top and go to properties then in layout set the window size how u want it. theres other options there if you really want to change them but who cares you're only ever gonna go in there to ping and traceroute.

Sniep posted:well, a good use of self signed in the wild is intranet/corp poo poo where they run a CA and push the root to alt heir machines like i said earlier. but that's about it. that's not self signed tho. self signed is a certificate with no signer (other than itself). the only somewhat legitimate use of a self signed cert is out of the box/unprovisioned device configurations. even if ur testing you should be able to request a legit cert from your internal ca instead of generating your own. theres no reason you should have self signed certs.
