From the articleQuoting:Next on Mhall119's list? "Customization: New Linux users should be encouraged to customize their desktop," he said. " Not only will this show off the power of Gnome, KDE, Xfce compared to Windows, but it will get the user accustomed to the idea that they can -- and should -- make changes to their computer, to make it look and feel and act the way they want it to. Every time I see a default Ubuntu desktop, I see a failure to teach someone about Linux." I have not been able to find anything that makes customisation, other than the basic sort, such as replacing prebuilt desktop skins, and not that many either, easy. I can't even find a decent user friendly method for creating mouse pointers. So this isn't the sort of thing a new user can do easily, except the very basic sort of changes. |
