GNOME Devs are rethinking the “Activities” button

They weren’t wrong. There is no need for a panel, you can just type what program you want. It’s not year 2000 anymore.

Besides, Plasma is much more like Windows. It has panels, lots of windows and bugs.

Typing the name of the program you want is a 1970s thing.

Yes ironically desktop environments “revolutionized” computing by not having a way to type what program we want to then, after decades re-introduce that :D

Yep, because we realized the pointy clicky hand-eye coordination paradigm is often not an improvement.

@TCB13 @RoboRay I don’t remember a distro or DE that lacked a command line. Hell, even windows never actually abandoned it.

Sure, which makes it curious that the previous comment implied that it’s a new thing since 2000 when it’s actually a very old thing.

Good response to be honest. :)

Only a bit tongue-in-cheek… :)

Sometimes typing something is better, sometimes just clicking a button is better. It just depends on… too many things to list.

On that we can agree. And let me add more: inconsistent design.
