@sjolsen not really, cuz if @tantacrul evidenced one thing, it's that #UI & #UX can be quantified as "good" and/or "bad" and actually implement the best possible option given the workflows at hand (conversely to what @landley once said: #FLOSS can do UI & UX; [tho he also said that consistency is key and #Tantacrul certainly does not just design but also tests this designs more thoroughly than most GAFAMs do their products...])

• And I do have to give him credit for modernizing applications that indeed need some overhaul, as #Audacity did look like something from #Windows95, #macOS9 or #Amiga (and we all can agree that any application from back then that's still around regardless if #Photoshop, #Cubase or even #Sibelius had to move on and change…).

Personally I do hate the #RibbonUI because it's wasteful in terms of screen space and demands way more clicks and mouse travel in my workflows.

• So the #Ribbon clearly works better on #HiDPI, #HighResolution Desktops and #Tablets, not on a *"#LowDPI, #LowRes Keyboard and Trackpoint system…

@tron yes, and in essence all it needs is to be a more convenient version if @tails_live / @tails / #Tails with like @nextcloud / #Nextcloud integration for seamless sync (with like an encrypted /home for caching and convenience...

• Cuz lets be honest: All what #TechIlliterate #Normies need can be done with #Firefox, @thunderbird / #Thunderbird, Nextcloud, @libreoffice / #LibreOffice, #Codium and @videolan / #VLC for the most part.

Maybe add #Dayon as convenient #RemoteDesktop solution and a basic #AutoUpdater (& Terminal) to it.

• Just that nice #Launcher / full-screen menu and support fir #LowRes / #LowDPI is needed!

@Clygro tbh, the "#Metro" style, #MaterialDesign / #PaperMaterial "slabs " are good for #touchscreen devices, it's just not really good for #mouse & #keyboard or #LowDPI & #LowRes devices...

• But then again, I know people like @fuchsiii who loved #Windows8's design because it's the least #Windows-esque Windows!
