“This is an old favorite of mine. Here is the problem,
switching desktops on a linux machine with or without compiz is not
intuitive. Why? because it is related to some window keys
Ctrl+Alt+Right or Left Arrow, it is a secondary menu, or it depends
on the mouse being at the corner of the window.“All of these ideas, while being well-intentioned, in nature,
simply become annoying because they are hard to discover, they are
somewhat hidden, and they tend to be not novice user friendly.“The other problem is that as people talk about being
user-friendly, they generally say that they don’t want linux to be
“dummed down,” or made so simple that only stupid people can use.
The fact of the matter is, though, that, in my view, no one should
expect its Linux distribution to be a puzzle only solvable for the
“smart” people that can figure out its tricks. In the scientific
world there is the idea that the simplest answer to a question is
always the right one. When many theories explain one phenomenon
then they choose the simplest one to reveal its truthfulness.”
