  • I like it and think I’ll be able to get used to it with practice. It reminds me weirdly of windows XP in how easily I can get everything to work the way I want.

    xubuntu may be easier to switch for an xp user. Xfce is more malleable than all other desktop environments + ubuntu communities are active and less snobbish.

    fedora also was surprisingly easy.

    now i’m on arch and i asked myself countless times : Why are you doing this to yourself?








  • Apple works with excellent designers for sound and visuals. It’s very interesting to listen to their processes, how they work for months for a second long sound or a tiny icon. Apple has the means to employ these masters.

    i hate using apple products, their inflexibility is frustrating when you know how open linux is. Apple infantilizes it’s users. Linux is permissive, it becomes whatever you want it to.

    Design is easy when “anything goes”, it becomes “rocket science” when you’re after good design. People spend their whole lives mastering these illusive practices.

    when it comes to user interfaces, design is successful when you don’t even see/hear/feel it. It gets out of your way.

    AI is making 7, 9 fingered hands because it doesn’t even know what a hand is, how a human body functions. How can it “create better sleeker design than apple” ?
