While that's good, it's bad user-experience to have to hover over each item in a menu to find out what it is, instead of being able to easily tell just by reading the menu. At least in old Gnome, MATE, and some other desktops, you still have a structured menu where you can find things. The desktops which have no menus and just splatter all your applications as a huge page, or pages, of icons in alphabetical order (like tablets and mobile phones), are a user-interface disgrace. Touch screens are all the more worse as you can't hover a pointer over an icon for a hint, you've got to do a long press and wait. Everything about it makes it slower to use. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.11.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 18 16:34:56 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
