There are a lot of words but no content in MrGoogle's posts.

That's not fair. mrgoogle shared his vision for how the file manager, task switcher, and desktop could look and behave: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 4#p1117360

Let's stay away from name calling.

Well, to be fair, I can't make head nor tail of that. He started out by calling another user ignorant, so I can't see this thread going anywhere good really.

i think i would ask you first to read the previous post so you'll know

Still not answering the questions, I see. I just reread the entire thread, and beside from your saying XYZ does not work for "most people" due to "lazy programmers" you haven't provided any real info.

I'm sorry to say this, but it sounds as if you don't like any of the Mint DEs (or UIs as you call them) and so you want the entire Mint team to work around your personal preference. Not a very constructive position, IMHO.

And I agree with the others: you could be a little less rude. No need to question the intelligence of the members here simply because we don't agree with you. Dividing your posts into separate paragraphs would help too.

i do like kde plasma and more importantly none of us here have the right to criticize the developers of linux-mint because we are already getting more than what we pay/donate for this ditro. We can't just ask them to do some great things without paying for it.

If your argument was clear, and to the point, and structured so as to make it readable, I'd pay attention.

As I see it this is just another rattle out of the pram post with no substance 'cos there's 'something', undetermined, you don't like, so make your own?
I'm more than happy with MInt's direction in all it's DE's, so much so that I've donated several times, there's something for everybody there, well, nearly.
So you see, the argument is pointless, as ' the right direction ' is subject to individual taste, and to me, it tastes great.

its indeed subjective, but still there should be a "CLEAR" direction on where this is really going and you yourself don't know that

at least your pretty rational, i admit im not as patient as you. Actually a small software company already approve this idea (NItrux) i was thinking of changing the name of "home" to "my files" and "my files" to "treasure chest" and treasure chest is password protected. And that's a windows explorer not a file manager. i prefer windows explorer and file-manager to be merge as one

Mr. Google, you seem to like asking questions, but you're not too fond of answering them, are you? That's funny, most people expect answers from Google, not questions.

if you take your time to understand my post then you'd realize the answer was already there

oh come on bro, don't give up on doing this peacefully, communication is always the start of understanding

[mrgoogle]

? How do you know they're not being met? Surveys? Research? Or just personal preference?
I personally find all four of Mint's desktops (even Xfce and KDE, which to be honest I don't like their default config in Mint) to be far superior to any Windows in appearance.

BTW: what industry are you referring to?

chromebooks and osx, these two systems doesn't imitate that windows' UI and in fact their difference in the interface is a lot bigger than u think, but their adoption rate is still pretty higher than our linux-mint, can you please explain this? don't take this the wrong way but yoU WON'T be able to understand my answer to that question without knowing and understanding the answer to this one

Pretty higher? This is what you believe, but not true in fact.

you u do realize that the right way to answer this kind of questions intelligently without being called ignorant; is to answer it in a form of thesis with some graphs and statistics of the market-share for the year 2015 up to 2016

Do you want to know what is Linux Mint?

Linux Mint is a free Linux-based operating system designed for use on desktop computers.

1.Do you know difference between two words: "adoption to UI" and "market-share"?
2. If you first make statement then support this with graphs and statistics. Also first.

This is not a "thesis" and i will no longer reply to you until you came up with your own thesis, and don't forget about "adoption rate" , that is so important as well

This isn't going anywhere but in circles mrgoogle, what do you want from this topic because as you can see the others here are lost what the goal or desired outcome is.

this has a direction but they just keep asking questions that's completely off the topic and im just being generous enough to answer it instead of ignoring it. Look if we carefully look at their arguments its obvious that majority of them don't even know what they are talking about and ignoring these dump questions will not enlighten them, you seem to be the ONLY one that's giving me a justifiable comebacks, if your an admin aren't you suppose to be helping me in educating them ? At least you clearly check on one of the factors thats affecting the market industry such as the demographics and i respect people with these kind of comebacks
