I dont understand why it's so hard for a desktop emvironment to come up two completely differant ways for users to interact while still doing the same job. Tiles for some, menu's for other's. Console for the rest! Not entirely sure why we are constantly pushed 'philosophies' and coca-cola-style good-feels when someone has a poorly thought-out plan to change things for the sake of the latest vibe.Last edited by stiiixy; 03 September 2017, 09:22 PM.Hi

*Not meaning to imply Gnome is archaic or fringe there! I try it (and others) in hope every year-or-so when I get sick of some stupid KDE decides on, but I am just too used to the way KDE arranges things, I guess.

We've had a similar conversation on this forum before and I think the conclusion was in my mind, that the US would have to spend tens of trillions of dollars to totally convert to a system of measurements that most americans aren't familiar with. Unlike in most other nations the US standardized systems of measurement quite a long time ago. So for us it -is- standard.
Can you count to 100? Congratulations, you just learned the metric system! Now lets move forward!
And while you're at the conversion process, switch the bloody month with the day!* Yet another bizzare cultural enforcment the US places on the rest of the world.
*Why dont these forums/fora have an option to use 'proper' dating?Hi

Just to clarify my point - I have no problem with the US using whatever systems of measurement they like. It is the insisting on referring to it as 'standard' that twists my nose.
Ironically, the century before last, the US was very culturally progressive on such things, which is where US spellings (which, other than that s-z travesty, I prefer) comes from.
Also, I am no fan of metric units. I personally wish they had decimalised the inch as the base unit. The result would have been more human-scale friendly IMO. But that is all blather on my part, so enough for nowLast edited by LaeMing; 04 September 2017, 03:55 AM.

Gnome3 is designed for retarded people by retarded people. Gnome3 is bad for the Linux community, when a user can not create a launcher to the desktop, the image of a distribution is spoiled.
