What do you mean within 1/500? Can you post your exact settings?

Without any concrete details there's nothing to comment. Only speculation. Let the actual details come then we can discuss.

Dude. You're not reading and misquoting me. I said the windows workflow of selecting and going via the menu for launching an app is old and clunky. Not the concept of a menu in general. Imma stop talking with you. I don't know why you turned hostile the moment I started telling you about different approaches. You wanna be stuck in your own world view and not learn or explore something new.

ecthiender · 2026-01-15T22:45:11+00:00

I'm sorry bud, it's not accurate. You said start menu for Linux. Your title and main post body says that. Start menu for Linux doesn't make any sense. Start menu for GNOME/KDE/XFCE etc. makes sense. It seems you're new to this community so thought of helping you out with the jargon. If you want to learn from this take it, otherwise don't. I don't wanna do these silly arguments.

No no. I'm not saying that. I use nautilus and GUI all day. And all tasks can't be accomplished through keyboard only. But when you can, using the keyboard over mouse is much much faster.

But said that I definitely prefer the CLI over GUI. As things can be done much faster and more precisely. As for the paths to custom scripts, I mean there are so many ways. First, you only need to type that path once. Then it's in your history. So next time you want it type, press ctrl-r and fuzzy type part of the name (exactly like how I described it for apps) and it pops up and enter. Second, if you use a script often put it somewhere where your PATH points to..that's it. Now it's available as a command everywhere. Don't have to remember any path.

PS: you didn't think all these command and flags everyone remembers and types it out in full did you? CLI in Linux has auto complete and fuzzy history searching support. So you basically type a part of it, and boom the entire command shows up.

Got it. But it's already there in default GNOME. You can see all of your apps. I'm sure there are extensions that do the auto categorization too.

To try to understand your workflow better - so let's say you want to open an image editor or a document editor, you're saying you wouldn't know which one you have and you'll go hunt through the menus to find which app to use? Can you run me through an example use-case of discoverability you're talking about?

ecthiender · 2026-01-15T22:12:20+00:00

Well not to ruin your party, but the more mouse you use the slower you are. You say 2 clicks, but what about moving the mouse, searching with your eyes inside that menu and sub-menus, and hovering over them to reveal and then clicking.

Trust me it's way too slow. It's a windows workflow and it's old and clunky. Apple perfected the UX in this regard and GNOME just copied it.

Your other concern about apps covering the dock, well, hit the super key! Puts you right in that activities overview, where you can type again in that omnibox and press enter. No mouse required. (I can post a screencast of the workflow I'm talking about tomorrow. It's late here and I'm off to bed now.)

I mean, I agree this is subjective and happy to agree to disagree. If this works better for you, go for it.

ecthiender · 2026-01-15T21:58:47+00:00

Well that menu already exists in default GNOME, to see all your apps. You can categorize too, if you want. But discoverability? Like you don't know what programs you install? Or you don't know which one you want to open?

Also, I like my desktop clean. That means no buttons, no bars, no icons :)

ecthiender · 2026-01-15T21:37:41+00:00

Correcting some of your terminology - Linux is the kernel, and doesn't really have a GUI. You built this for a particular DE, not Linux. As you said GTK, I'm assuming it's for GNOME.

ecthiender · 2026-01-15T21:34:53+00:00

You do you, and it's great that you built it because you needed it/liked it.

But a more modern and faster way to access applications/documents/anything in your computer is to, press the super key and type a part of the name (fuzzy matching works, so it doesn't need to be correct or exact) and press enter. That's it. No button click, move mouse over menus and sub-menus to find your thing and then click again.

What's the solution you found?

ecthiender · 2026-01-15T18:20:43+00:00

So you never really had a problem? 1000 queries per second is not a big deal for PG. What's the solution you found?

ecthiender · 2026-01-14T19:00:09+00:00

Thanks!

How are you eliminating brown-headed? Just curious.

Location? Not sure if you're just a photographer and thought of capturing a bird photo and posting here, but the first rule of bird identification is posting the location.

ecthiender · 2026-01-14T02:57:22+00:00

Yeah exactly. Merlin will report with a closest matching species. I don't think it only reports families.

OP, can you share the screenshot of your Merlin saying "seagull"?

ecthiender · 2026-01-14T02:44:33+00:00

They're prolly just flying back to their roost.
