GUADEC: GNOME OS conversationsGUADEC: GNOME OS conversationsPosted Aug 23, 2012 20:41 UTC (Thu) by apollock (subscriber, #14629)Parent article: GUADEC: GNOME OS conversations
Given the conversations I overheard in my workplace the other day about Unity and GNOME 3, and reluctance to switch from Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 as a corporate engineering desktop, I think GNOME is now missing the needs of power user and/or change-averse Linux desktop users.
GNOME 3 may attempt to bridge the divide for new Linux desktop users, but it (and Unity) have done so at the cost the existing user base.

As said various times, a power user is a term without much meaning. Explain what you do, why and with which purpose and it can be incorporated.
And explanations which only describe the task (e.g. "I want to change my background") aren't good.

The fact that a term is hard to define precisely does not mean it is without meaning (what is art?).
It's a term that's widely used and understood, and you are being deliberately obtuse out of sheer petulance.
Whenever anyone tries to give specific examples you dismiss them individually, and whenever anyone tries to address the larger topic you demand that they be more specific. There appear to be no answers that will satisfy you, and yet you feel the need to troll every mention of the term, even though you clearly have no intention of meaningfully communicating with anyone.
And then you wonder why you get flames in return for your thundering obnoxiousness...
