Swad Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 The KDE group just set up a usability workgroup to help with the usability of KDE. Personally, I see this addressing one of linux's main downfalls - it's written by coders with more care given to the code and the features than the UI. It's powerful but not simple. I know there's a lot of contention on this point but I thought I'd see what you thought.

fat chris Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I hope it does get a bit simpler. But then again everything seems too complicated for me. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12533-usability-with-linux/#findComment-79488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lane Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Interesting... glad the focus has shifted but honestly KDE (like Gnome) is built to perform all the tasks of the terminal. If linux is to succeed as a desktop platform that will need to change, users need simple tools to do simple tasks.
