I wanted to take a moment and talk about Linux UX because, let’s face it… it sucks.
Actually, it’s worse than that. Much of Linux’s UX is technically correct and that makes it objectively wrong.
No. I don’t want Linux to be more Windows-like. But I do want the most common Linux desktops to behave in a way that PC-literate folks can wrap their mind around — and do so from minute zero.
the article raises good albeit imperfect points with good examples.
we truly need more ux people and designers to contribute.
The entire industry does. It’s a chronic shortage of UI/UX people who are backed by engineers actually taking the designs under advisement and executing on them.
