Comments about the new gnome 41
by centguy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5RXSH)
After spending a bit of time studying gnome 3 and installed a new Debian to
test gnome 41, I find the following:
1. It seems I cannot put applications as icons on the Desktop.
This is bad compared to Gnome3.
2. I cannot find how to make mounted volumes to appear as a icon on Desktop.
This is bad compared to Gnome3.
3. The Dock to Dash is gone, now the dock is activated at the bottom of
the screen only I push the cursor to the to top left. And then I have to push the cursor all the way down to choose an app in the dock at the bottom.
This is bad compared to Gnome3 where I just to click on an icon on the permanet Dock (either on the left or right of the screen -- my choice).
Gnome41 seems to be much polished but it seems quite dumb. Can they not
activate the useful "Window List" and "Horizontal Workspaces/Workspace Indicator" and "Application Menu" and "Place Status Indicator" for a new user? It is much easier to turn off than to turn on certain switches. Please Gnome people consider my comments.
Yes. To solve the problems will probably take a day or two (if they exist!). But does it have
to be this hard?
Enough of exploring. I will wait to see if other users have the same
complain with others.
As a matter of fact, I find the gnome3 is much better once we learn the hard way to customize it (well I took a few years of trial and error to get it right!).
