Great initiative, Jerry!
Especially addressing the update notification discussion again and keeping it as light as possible.
A few questions/ideas:
Especially addressing the update notification discussion again and keeping it as light as possible.
A few questions/ideas:
- How often will there be a check for updates? Might it be even configurable?
- Considering the main target (Windows refugees) and even for seasoned Linux users, is it really that helpful to see the kernel used? I utilize conky extensively on almost half of my desktop to be able to check all kinds of system parameters - not kernel version and LL version though (next point).
- Same applies for Linux Lite version?
- The time and date information is redundant and easier/always visible via the panel. So why really displaying it here again?
- Isn't there a panel plugin to show the very basic system information (CPU/memory) which is no doubt helpful?
- Leaves us with the update notification
Isn't there a chance to utilize Shaggy's awesome work he's done already on that part? It's just a little but always visible icon on the panel and can be configured. And one good specific tool for one specific task
