I have read the thread mentioned by Sebastian and it seems to me that the direction in which Ubuntu (and especially Unity) is going is - "Be the best OS for the first 10 minutes of a completely new user". Although I think it is important to increase the exposure of normal users to linux, and I advertise it every time I can, for me one of the main advantages of linux is (and, in the case of Ubuntu 12.04, was) that I was given options, which I could over time incrementally learn to customize the system to the way I work. Does Ubuntu really strive to be an OS ONLY used by new users?
This case seems to be a clear indication of the future - any function which after 10 minutes of a new user is in any confusing - remove from the system instead of changing the defaults to wise ones. A new user, after 10 minutes, will not discover how to change the behavior of the Dock, and a result will not be confused by it. Sorry for the rant. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/928719 Title: Bring back Intellihide for unity as an option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/928719/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
