Hi,
I was thinking about how to increase the user base of Ubuntu desktop.
More and more people will use Ubuntu desktop if it (GUI, etc.) is easy to
use.
First timers and older people should also find Ubuntu desktop easy to use
(having very short learning curve).
Microsoft Windows is there on ab

Yes, but I installed it because I don't mind having a lot of files,
because it is the only way to use ubuntu softs one can't use on w11.

I'm not interested in reading another market share link. I'm quite sure
that most computer devices used via a GUI are smartphones and I doubt
that Windows is the most used OS on smartphones. However, given that
most desktop computers likely are equipped with Windows only, the market
share still isn
Okay, guys, with my community leadership hat on: before you read any
further on this, don't take shots at each other, we're all on the same

I'm a child of the 80th, born in 1966, so I never migrated from Windows
to Linux. I do not come from Windows, as well as a lot of Linux users
of my age or who are way older than I am.

80286 hardware emulator, IOW a PCB containi

Oops, I at least should correct this typo. It should read "no DE
(desktop environment) at all". Of course, openbox is a WM (window
manager).
However, most new users nowadays are likely in favour of a desktop

So you should be able to describe what from your point of few are the
pitfalls of a Linux desktop environment and the pros of Windows.
As already pointed out, I suspect Jane the elementary schoo
Let's not lose sight of meeting the requirements and pleasing the taste of
the current user base. Will my experience be improved by making the DE more
like Windows?
Nope!
What real benefit do I find in the thought that more people are using my
DE? The only users that count are the users we have n

I suspect that still several Ubuntu flavours have got an application
menu by default, much likely even for the latest release.
At least Xubuntu 20.04 has got an application menu by default, th
