[Bug 1241972] Re: Drag and drop from Dash to Desktop doesn't work

 

I agree with you Valentin. It is a barrier for beginners. I tried linux
since 1998. Several distros. And never used more than two weeks. Since
2014. I decided to insist on trying the desktop linux distributions. Now
, I use linux as my primary OS. I was using Mint 17 , switched to Ubuntu
14.04 last week. As you say , problems with basic user interface makes
it harder for people to switch to Linux.
