Rewriting nouveau’s Website
tesk.page
We spent a whole week rewriting nouveau’s website — the drivers for NVIDIA cards. It started as a one-person effort, but it led to a few people helping me out. We addressed several issues in the nouveau website and improved it a lot. The redesign is live on nouveau.freedesktop.org. In this article, we’ll go over the problems with the old site and the work we’ve done to fix them.

    They absolutely do not. Their UX is based on actual usability studies, rather than just copying the Win95 UX paradigm.

    You should look it up, it’s actually quite interesting.The attention to detail and the thought process of pretty much every UI element is pretty crazy.

    Gnome is amazing so long as you’re not trying to use it like Windows. It’s not Windows. It’s not trying to be.

    If you want to use Linux with a Windows UX, then use Plasma or Cinnamon.

    Personally I find it quite refreshing to have a different choice, and IMO it’s worked out better. Even when I use Plasma, I now get rid of the taskbar/panel, use the activities view, etc. change it to the Gnome workflow, in effect.

    It’s childish to call a UX bad just because you personally like things to work like Windows.

        Homie. there is no thought given on how background apps should behave other than “just dont have any background apps”.

        If you’re just going to make up blatant lies then I’m not even going to engage with you. Nobody ever said that, or anything like it. Nor is the statement before that true, either.

        Im not even gonna mention how there’s a dang bar at the top already blocking my view, but it wont tell you which apps are open. Unless you get an extension for it.

        Oh no, a bar. At the top. That’s not how Windows does it! I don’t like it!

        I don’t want a tiny slim bar that gives me the Activities button, workspace indicator, workspace switcher, date, time, calendar drop down, notifications, media control, volume control, battery level, quick settings, etc. what I really need is this bar, that I’ve already said is “blocking my view” to be 3x thicker and constantly show me what I have open, despite me already knowing they’re open, because I opened them, and they’re right in front of me.

        Look, if you prefer the Win95 UX paradigm, good for you. Have a gold star ⭐. Lots of people do, it’s what people are used to. There’s nothing wrong with using it.

        But guess what? Not everyone wants the Win95 UX. To me, it seems archaic, clunky, the workflow is bad, it wastes space, it looks bad, and constantly makes me fight the DE whenever I have to use it.
