Ten Ways To Improve GNOME

GNOME is a beloved desktop environment for many Linux users, but can it be improved upon? Of course it can, and Venture Cake has a roundup of ten specific features that would help improve it as a whole. Ditching the acronym is at the top of the list, which I can’t personally agree with simply because it’s such a well known product… as GNOME, regardless of what it stands for. Other prospective features include highlighting of new apps, right-clicking an application to uninstall it, video screen capture among others.

Desktop Effects are great for impressing your non-Linux using colleagues, or dragging round windows during conference calls. But all that GPU usage comes at the cost of battery life. Gnome already knows when I’m plugged in, so why not let me skip the less productive effects when I’m roaming?
