User Interface Congruence

After testing Ubuntu Xenial Xerus, I'd wanted to check out how Gtk 3 interfaces blend with the other desktop libraries in the software repositories. I was very let down. Gtk 2 interfaces still use overlay scrollbars which noticeably clash with the Gtk 3 applications. LibreOffice draws with S

Re: youtube-dl package is very outdated

There is also a frontend with youtube-dl builtin called youtube-dlg installable with a ppa: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/multi-platform-youtube-dl-gui-youtube.html (blog) On 09/03/2016 09:31 AM, Petter Adsen wrote: http://askubuntu.com/questions/151283/why-dont-the-ubuntu-repositories-hav

Re: Suggestion for later versions of Unity

I think would ruin the unique style of the Unity interface. There are lots of other desktops that support right oriented UIs. I am surprised enough that tiling made it into the window manager used with Unity (this is a feature popular with older [read more advanced] window managers). Not only

Dual Packaging per Library

I know a that a lot of Linux systems are moving toward Gtk 3, but there are so many packages in the repositories that are still compiled with Gtk 2 in mind. The authors provide Gtk 3 options for several of them in the configure process. Geany and the wxWidgets library are a couple examples.

Re: The Simple Things in Life

I like John's idea too, but I also don't like the simple appearance of a system thrown together so extemporaneously that a simple "power user" could fix the bugs. The hibernation is what really makes me irritated by Ubuntu. I know, I read some posts from Linux Torvalds on the subject. Howeve

The Simple Things in Life

I've been irritated by so many obvious shortcomings of Ubuntu this version (16.04). So many of the most obvious fixes are easily attributed to configuration files. I don't know if those who purchase the operating system directly from Canonical versus a download are having to deal with the sam
