The multi tab function is definitely useful. I was constantly asking it to analyze my screen and perform certain functions, but having to do that for each tab was a chore. This is def a welcome improvement! -

Tablet mode doesn't exist on public releases in Windows 11, but there is a very good option activated with a few registry tweaks they must be testing. I've been using it on an old Surface Pro and love it. Minimised taskbar with no pinned icons or Start button visible, only clock and settings (battery/wifi/sound) icons. When the whole thing is visible, the icons are much larger and easy to tap. Swiping up does shows it and if you continue, opens the Start Menu. Needs more work, like a single finger swipe for multitasking, and perhaps miniaturised widget/s visible on the left, but it works well and I think it even works with mouse & keyboard use (mine's forced always on).

A GUI wrapper makes something like this actually accessible for people coming from any other system. I do not want to ever touch the terminal, we are no longer in the 80's, so this is actually a massive help, even if the underlying software isn't actually great. Bullying should be called out, and I believe that's what this post is about. So I'm glad it's happened, and I hope that this dev, or someone else picks it back up and makes the Linux Desktop a touch more relevant in the modern world. -

The problem is that LOUD and AGRESSIVE persons end up getting their way one way or another. In this case, the dodgy user was successful in making the dev quit the project. If the dev continued to work on it, their comments could well have had ramifications on others who may have wanted to try it, also thinking that what was said was true, and the tool may never have got traction. It's just flat out bullying, lets call it what it is, and needs to be addressed. Often bullies are the actual "snowflakes", who have often missed developmental milestones in childhood, or experienced trauma and as a result don't have the intellect or skills to manage their emotions. It often comes across as aggressive, much like this user. So while this user clearly has something going on, I do hope they seek help. As for the developer, I also hope they build some resilience, and experience the opposite of bullying via positive words from this news story. Calling them a "snowflake" is effectively bullying in itself, and that too needs to be called out. So I'm calling you out @noobient. Your point otherwise is valid. But we all need to have support too, and clearly there wasn't during this developers time of bullying. We as part of the tech community need to do better.
