if you guys want to watch a terrible thing please go watch "linux action show" on youtube the fedora'd beard host isn't too bad when he's not getting poo poo straight up wrong, but the co-host is a complete pleb (evidence: he wears a "bazinga!" shirt on nearly every episode) it's insufferable

infernal machines posted:chunky/jittery animation, missed clicks, jumping windows at times. it also didn't seem to actually support gestures the last time i tried it, but that was a while ago now. i'm using my on-chip GPU and don't have any performance problems. i don't recall the shell ever claiming to support gestures. infernal machines posted:i also seem to remember it only handling programs, not tabs or sub windows stop using tabs, use individual instances, spread them across workspaces (relevant to whatever you're working on in that space) $5 says the response is "b-b-but that breaks ~my workflow~"

we only suffer 'tabs' to cater to environments that didn't have workspaces (like windows still doesn't) or to users didn't use them even if they were available there's coming to be less and less reason for tabbed anything on a desktop infernal machines posted:firefox does it too, don't know about chrome. it took years for support to show up in firefox, it still wasn't enabled by default, and it didn't work when i enabled it. i haven't used windows in six months, maybe it's changed since then. but windows 7 came out in 2009 and if it took them until late 2013 to turn this feature on, i can't imagine it's a trivial thing that any app can just turn on i don't use chrome much but i don't remember it working there, either

Shaggar posted:actually its an extremely trivial thing if you're using the systems native ui components. even those ancient window w/ smaller interior windows (I forget the name of it) windows 3.11 style apps supported it cause its all just calls down to the native apis. no, i remember it took a year or so after windows 7 release for it to even work into the testing builds, which i switched to right away and was disappointed that it never worked i followed it closely because i really loved the feature and couldn't understand why apps didn't/couldn't implement it immediately

if you still have ubuntu gnome installed, you can try to limp along by adding the gnome3 ppa, then running update/upgrade. that will get you (mostly) up to gnome 3.10, which is current.

arch really hasn't broken itself in a long time (check the front page, all the announcements there are all pretty minor) the aur is the killer feature for me. dealing with custom repos and PPAs is really terrible. admittedly, the aur isn't perfect, but you have a greater chance of the package not completely disappearing because someone got bored or banned from launchpad

for anyone who thinks building from the aur is bad hasn't found pacaur.

it compiles as the user and then installs through sudo, it even prompts and asks if you'd like to check the PKGBUILD script for maliciousness. basically, it's 100% like doing it manually.

also you can do 'pacaur -Syu' instead of 'pacman -Syu' and it will check the repos for updates, and then it will check the aur for updates and offer them all to you so you don't have to keep track of your aur packages like a scrub

ShadowHawk posted:Might I ask what Ubuntu packages you needed to get from PPAs provided by users that have been since banned from Launchpad? all i know is that i suddenly started getting 404s during apt-get update and because i didn't keep meticulous system maintenance notes about what the repos were being used for, i had no idea what i was missing possible updates on one i'm positive on was the xbmc ppa that's added to xbmcbuntu (back when it was new) by default, at one point that went missing and everyone had to switch to another ppa. 'stable', lol. ShadowHawk posted:uhh this sounds an awful lot like checkinstall it probably is, i'm sure other distros have their own things that sound a lot like this

Fib posted:Just want to say Gnome 3 owns, the notifications are still a bit poo poo (maybe fixed now but I still have that use Ubuntu 12.04) but I would rather use Gnome 3 than anything else. Workspaces for each logical thing I'm working on are great. you have gnome 3.4, notifications got a complete rehaul in 3.6  Fib posted:When it comes to tabs, I actually really like Firefox's infinitely scrolling tab bar because I have a filthy tab habit. The tab group feature that is kinda hidden would be great if it tied back into workspaces - essentially I want to be able to refactor my workspaces by seeing previews of all tabs + windows at once for a certain app and be able to drag those between workspaces. click and drag them out of the browser to create a new window drag the new window to the workspace where you need it spend some time organizing and labelling your bookmarks, and then turn off "save my tabs" and suddenly you'll be spawning new browser windows instead of new tabs

suspicious dish, the last time we had a gnome thread i asked why i can't type a few characters, mash the menu key and arrow down to 'new window' (the menu key gives me the context menu for the input box) i can do it if i press down arrow, up arrow, menu button so its a focus problem but its real bad if you typed enough and there's only one search result, you can't arrow back and forth and so you have to grab the mouse and right-click ugg anyway you said it was a bug and it got fixed but it's not fixed?

Suspicious Dish posted:Hm. I don't remember saying this bug got fixed. I've brought it up with the design team before. Really, we're pretending that both have input focus, which doesn't work for the menu key. it's a bummer because not everything has a shortcut key for 'new window', and those that do, it's not consistent (terminal's is ctrl+shift+n, but firefox's is ctrl+n). the search function has an opportunity to work as a consistent alternative to the dock if your hands are already on the keyboard bash super, type 'fire', bash enter, get switched to firefox bash super, type 'fire', bash menu key, arrow to desired instance or 'new window' also its clearly wrong because when you hit menu, the search box only revels 'copy' and 'paste'. that might make sense if i had text highlighted, but i don't so agg why
