GNOME June 2024: C'mon you can do better
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well, it's insulting for people to lose their work because someone did a lousy UX job. :)
Cloning macOS should not be views as something "bad" because for what's worth we all know Apple spends a LOT in usability research (they're not as good as they used to be, but still better than the rest).
That's the thing, I've basic design / UX training and all the literature on action buttons with dangerous effects tells you to add a margin. Any design undergraduate should also be able to notice that life saver as well... however the GNOME team totally missed it.
This isn't the first time them failing at basic UX and they don't like when people try to suggest improvements nor when they later on criticize them.
Just because you like apple doens't mean that apple does a perfect job and GNOME should copy it. GNOME does a lot of thing better than apple. And microsoft also does a couple of things better than apple. Apple isn't perfect and microsoft isn't all bad
Yes, so let's copy Apple and keep the few things GNOME does well.
Having used OS X, there is no way they've done usability testing. Doing basically everything is hard on OS X
This is an insane take based on absolutely nothing.
