To give you a background : I'm a web developer, using Gentoo. I was using KDE 4, but I give Gnome 3.14 a shot and I liked what I saw : "kiss", no configuration needed, I can actually focus on my work, not on my workspace. But I still struggle to switch between apps. Maybe I'm not an average user, as I need a lot of context switching (browser <-> text editor <-> console). But I still think this area of Gnome could be improved. On other desktops, I can do this on "autopilot mode", but it's not so easy with Gnome (more clicks/key presses/"brain power" needed).
The dock may not be the perfect solution, but it's more of a global feedback I wanted to share about that. :-) Thanks, Sébastien On Sat, Apr 4, 2015 at 10:38 PM, Yosef Or Boczko <[email protected]> wrote: > > > בתאריך ש', אפר 4, 2015 בשעה 11:35 PM, alex diavatis > <[email protected]> כתב: >> >> Hello Sri, Yosef Or Boczko >> >> > Right, so perception is not really accurate is it? :-) >> Nop, it's not accurate, but you don't need precision at this point :) >> >> > Btw, gnome-sofware not cover some distro, like ArchLinux, >> Ofc, and not only that, GNOME cannot be "measured" in any way if >> won't release "something downloadable, installable, usable as one". > > > Hmm, yeah, I have something like 8 DE installed, but I used GNOME only… > > Regards, > Yosef Or Boczko > > >> >> - alex >> >> On Sat, Apr 4, 2015 at 11:25 PM, Yosef Or Boczko <[email protected]> >> wrote: >>> >>> Hey Alex, >>> >>> I don't know if this is what emmanuele said, it just look >>> like he said thas you can't know anything about GNOME's users scope. >>> >>> Btw, gnome-sofware not cover some distro, like ArchLinux, so it far >>> from accurate. >>> >>> Regards, >>> Yosef Or Boczko >>> >>> >>> בתאריך ש', אפר 4, 2015 בשעה 11:21 PM, alex diavatis >>> <[email protected]> כתב: >>> >>>> Hello Emmanuele, >>>> >>>> How you can see metrics when GNOME hasn't a metric system? :/ >>>> You can only see that by "perception" :) >>>> >>>> On Sat, Apr 4, 2015 at 11:17 PM, Emmanuele Bassi <[email protected]> >>>> wrote: >>>>> >>>>> Hi; >>>>> >>>>> On 4 April 2015 at 20:37, alex diavatis <[email protected]> >>>>> wrote: >>>>> >>>>> >> While I think we can discuss whether the presence of a dock could >>>>> >> ensure gaining users, I also don't think GNOME needs to "win back" >>>>> >> users in the first place. >>>>> > >>>>> > What that's supposed to mean?
