Them.

The taskbar is an outdated (30 years old) concept that should be extinct.

It was created to always allow the user to launch or resume their programs, even when they launch a fullscreen program.

I think it’s time to improve workflows. I don’t expect Microsoft leads the (proper) way. They are too busy including ads into the taskbar.

A question for the lemmy community: Why the negative votes? It is because the link is considered SPAM? It is because the TLDR of the post?

I always though that the votes is for the publication, not the referred content.

On the other hand:

• Loop-device exhaustion (slow, though Ubuntu has increased the limit via a patch).
• A single point of failure due to Canonical’s repository imposition (a closed garden).
• Unmaintained branches and snapped apps.
• Implicit installation of snapped apps through the apt CLI instead of the originally supported packages 🤬 (what the hell, Canonical!? Are you doing the same crap as Microsoft?).

The server-side closed garden is the opposite of an open ecosystem and the open-source community. You can add custom repositories to APT or Flatpak. Every new snap interaction feels like another step toward forcing the user to use it, instead of offering cool features that convince users on their own merits.

The last change (installing snapped apps when you run apt install) was horrendous. What’s next? Installing snapped apps when the user runs flatpak install?
