Imali smo jako dug flame-war na temu Usability-ja (gde su moram primetiti Linuxovci malkice ostali bez argumenata pri kraju ;-) No... kako stvari obicno idu, tvrdnje razumnih ljudi na ovom forumu bivaju potvrdjene i od strucnjaka iz OSS-sveta koji razmisljaju logickim aparatom, a ne FSF-RMS-Pingvinskim implantom :)
Interesantni delovi:
OK. So what's wrong with Linux that makes it not ready for the desktop. I've tried KDE and Gnome desktops but my latest is FC4 so my criticism is focused on that (and Gnome) but I think KDE distros suffer just as bad if not worse. The issues fall into four basic categories, migration, stability, simplicity, and comfort. These issues each cover both technical capability shortcomings as well as usability failings.
The second problem that blocks massive Linux Desktop growth is stability. I don't mean the not crashing kind of stability, I'm talking about a stable API that doesn't require the user jump through hoops when they want to download a new application from download.com
A user should be able to install Fedora Core 4 and go grab the latest Firefox release from Download.com and have it work without the need for finding and installing compat-libstdc++
The third issue is a lack simplicity. Just because you can include a feature doesn't mean that you should. Just because you can provide a user preference doesn't mean you should. I don't want to start a desktop war but I really gotta say to the distros, pick a desktop and be happy. Regular People shouldn't have to (guess or learn enough to) choose between Gnome and KDE when they're installing your product. Regular People don't need 15-20 mediocre games in a highly visible Games menu at the top of the Applications list. And what is a Regular Person to think when confronted with a choice between Helix Player, CD Player, and Music Player? Does the Music Player not understand CDs? What's "Helix" mean?
Heh... jos jedan glas razuma iz OpenSource tima - valjda ce ovo lideri Linux razvoja uzeti za ozbiljno... ili ce, kao i ranije, lakonski odmahnuti rukom i nastaviti brljotine u dizajnu i usability-ju.
