    My parents found single-click behavior less confusing. It’s how everything works on their phones and in web browsers.

      My dad (early 60s) double-clicks web links as if they were folders. I stopped groaning ages ago lol

      Yeah. I also found it massively helpful to tell grandparents to just click on things. Instead of 3 times a day teaching them about the differences between everything and if they want a single left click, a double-click or a right click. And that a double right-click wouldn’t do anything useful at all.

      Fun times :-D

    Personally, I disable it first thing after installing and I think it’s easier this way for those who come from Windows. Those who still prefer the single click, can easily enable it again. Not a big deal.

    The minimum screen brightness is now always 1, and the minimum keyboard brightness is now always 0, ensuring that the screen backlight never turns off completely at minimum brightness, while the keyboard backlight always does

    That’s cool, but is it still possible to easily switch off the screen? For laptops, that’s useful from time to time, when you don’t want to close the lid and lock it, but you’re waiting for a long running operation or just listening to music, and want to save battery power.
    I think the best way would be that when long pressing the brightness lowering key, it stops lowering it at 1% as with this change, but pressing it once more would make it 0.

    Also, I wasn’t able to keep up with recent changes. Does anyone know if it’s possible now to customize the rounded corners of windows and panels?

        Mine doesn’t, but even if it would have, most of the original special keys don’t work in Linux. It’s quite annoying because I don’t have F keys and Home-PageUp and such, they were accessible with key combinations with the original OS.

          On most laptops that do that, there’s a BIOS setting that fixes it, the F keys at least. On HP’s, you can set whether you want the top row to act as F keys or “media” keys. Any combo that uses the Fn key should work in Linux, and you can set your own hot-keys/shortcuts in Linux as well.

    How are you even supposed to select files and folders in single-click? The tiny little + box that’s very easy to miss?

      I usually drag a selection. It kind of rare that I want to select a single file and just select it and not go ahead and simultaneously open a context menu with the right mouse button.
