Originally posted by GreatEmerald View PostTablets in general have problems with touchscreen edges. The thing is that it's near impossible to put the pointer on a specific pixel. And at the edges, it gets twice or four times more difficult to do that, as only the surface above the pixels is sensitive to touch.
Thats why I said that Gnome shouldve used gestures. However, theyve only just begun work in that area so lets hope this gets addressed.
Also, iirc, mucrosoft had asked for improved drivers for touchscreens, especially on the screen edges. Ive played with w8 in stores a but and the screens handle off to onscreen gestures wonderfully.

Originally posted by liam View PostHaving used it on a thinkpad tablet I can say that it is technically usable but only in the same way XP was touch friendly. In some ways its worse since so many actions are edge oriented (rather than gesture based) and X has a problem, as I understand it, with touchscreen edges.

In short it is a terrible touch interface.
If they wanted an interface that morphed they shouldve gone with something mor flexible like HTML/CSS.
Conclusion: The remaining tin foil hatted neckbeards are left in the cold by the crowd converging to GNOME3. LOL. Merry christmas to all the neckbeards; this horrible, unusable "survey" shows you are as obsolete as the the now dead software you call GNOME2. Go rm yourself.

- it is unclear whether it is an improvement or not
The only word that summarizes it all is: controversial.
But we didn't need an enquiry for that!
1. of the people taking the survey, as many people using Gnome3 as Gnome2, KDE and Unity together
2. 3 out of 4 people are OK with Gnome3 or find it an improvement to Gnome2
3. most people are satisfied with Gnome3 and were also satisfied with Gnome2
