GNOME 4 will be just one button that makes fart noises when you press it
2 comments

In 4.1 they'll remove the fart noise, because 'not everyone will have sound hooked up, and we want to provide a consistent experience'...
In 4.2 they'll have the button press itself after a time-out unless you cancel it, because the user might forget to press it.
Silent ... but deadly.

Yeah, that's GNOME in a nutshell.

I have a great suggestion for the GNOME desktop: Disable leftward movement of the mouse. Moving left is for losers. Real users only move right, and keep going right until the mouse pointer warps around to the left edge of the screen. Then we can use the "move left" gesture to open up a "motion context menu", where it can show options such as "Move to workspace", or "Move to KDE" and so on.
