![]() ![]() I copy a file that’s about 1.5-1.6 GB within two locations of the logged in user’s Home folder. So one suggestion I would like to make to the Linux Mint developers is how about stop showing the thumbnails as soon as a user starts to use his/her keyboard, even if the mouse pointer is focused on a certain application window docked on the task-bar? That’s a better approach because if the keyboard starts receiving inputs, it means then the user focus is in somewhere else. The only solution is to completely disable the thumbnails, but I quite like them. ![]() Then after looking at the thumbnail update, if I started to re-type on the text editor window without taking the mouse pointer away from the docked terminal window, the thumbnail stays there forever overlapping with the text editor. But the problem is, as long as you keep the mouse pointer over it, it never fades away! For instance, let’s say that I was using the text editor and moved mouse pointer over the terminal window on the task-bar to see a preview (let’s say I was running a command and wanted to see if it has been finished. Cinnamon displays a thumbnail of docked applications on the bottom task-bar when you move the mouse pointer over them. One annoying issue I found while using the Cinnamon desktop is the ‘Window list Thumbnails’. ![]() Otherwise, if all you ever do is introducing chaotic changes on how things are done, you either are a genius or an idiot who don’t have a clear goal in mind, let alone displaying the lack of instinctively mastered skill. ![]() And they should better stick with it for many years to come. For instance, Ubuntu came up with Unity and it was a radical change back then, a totally revamped desktop UI. But once you’re past it, you should move on with progressive steps not chaotic confusions. And speaking from a software developer’s point of view, I think it’s alright to make radical changes at the early stages where one is still in the process of creating a core identity. And the users don’t complain! And according to Linux Mint developers, it’s actually the 3rd most popular operating system used on Earth, after Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. I don’t know what the future will bring for Linux Mint’s Cinnamon desktop environment, but here I am using the latest version of it (Linux Mint 18, Cinnamon) after 2 years, and for the past 3 days, I experienced the same stability, fastness, efficiency and although vastly improved, the same looking desktop environment that was there, not only 2 years ago, actually it was like this from the very beginning. ![]()
