Minimize the title bars. Add this to ~/.config/gtk-3.0

headerbar {
    min-height: 0px;
    padding-top: 2px;
    padding-bottom: 2px;
    padding-right: 2px;
    padding-left: 2px;
}

headerbar entry,
headerbar spinbutton,
headerbar button,
headerbar separator {

It's the exact opposite. Imagine coming from Windows and missing half the features you expect from a desktop and people are telling you to install shitloads of extensions or point you to use dconf or the terminal. That's surely great for adoption.
But hey, at least it looks nice.

Nope, Chromebooks are. You know why? Because they're actually being sold in mainstream stores and being marketed to users.

It's hard to find a single new laptop sold with Linux that isn't a Chromebook at Amazon, Target or Best Buy.

Gnome, especially 3 is fucking shit.
Also all DE based on gnome like cinanomon are also shit because fucking gnome widgets are so ugly and retarded.

It's clutter. Name your files better, memer.

moot really should have doubled down on the deletion. It's somehow worse than the horsefuckers.

>>60795695
Developer edition is not marketed to the mainstream. You're not going to find it in a store where average people shop for computers. Most people aren't even aware Ubuntu exists. It needs to be available on every model, sold in mainstream stores and advertised to everyone.

>>60795766

It's a problem for everyone, don't defend that garbage.

Well if you count chromebooks as traditional Linux system for desktop, Android is already a success

No.60795755

It's so easy to trigger snowflakes. Face it, GNOME was better when it wasn't blowing money on silly feminist outreach programs and hiring people based on diversity quotas instead of, y'know, actual talent or skill.

>>60795788
Google has been working really hard to get their operating systems preinstalled on devices and marketed to mainstream markets.

I wish Canonical could do the same.

This.

>>60795812
Eh, canonical is a small and new company. It doesn't have billions to invest. Most normies want killer apps like Office etc and Libreoffice isn't promoted as good

>>60795744

Desktop Linux needs some way to get out of obscurity. Spinning cubes and wobbly windows will not do that. Those only work to draw in people who are already in the Linux community.

The truth is, you can have as many features as you want, but if you don't make any effort to reach the mainstream, none of it will matter if they have no idea it even exists.

>>60795837
It would be better to fix the problem of vendor lock-in.

I kinda want Microsoft and Steam to go separate ways. If Steambox manages to be the to-go os for gamers we'll have a boost

When my ["normie"] relatives walk into a store and buy a laptop with Linux preinstalled without needing my help, instead of me having to install it on their Windows computer because Windows was the only choice being sold in stores, then can I agree that the "year of the Linux desktop" may finally be around the corner.

I wish Canonical didn't waste all of their time on Unity 8 so Unity 7 wouldn't have stagnated. Maybe they would've thought twice before killing it off completely if that were the case. It was so close to being decent, it just needed more developer interest

>>60796851
That's the great thing, now that's unshackled from Canonicals crazy convergence plans, Unity7 can slowly have the tablet parts hacked off and become a real polished desktop WM.

I'm inclined to believe this also.
In order to really gain traction it has to just werk™ meaning it has to be installed while it's in the store. Average consumers buy a computer and expect that.
The whole thing about going to dconf and fixing shit in a new install should not happen if mom&pop are expected to use linux. This why iOS is so popular, for example.
Maybe the concept of 100% free software stifles linux.
