Sure, but 3rd party stuff shouldn't be necessary for any desktop environment in
order to make it work comfortably with a desktop PC. They all thought tablets
were going to take over the world, and they didn't.
At that time, I remember Gnome had all icons (like a tablet would) and no
"start" menu. I think at first, they brought the start menu back, and then they
eventually turned all the large icons into regular icons that could be placed in
a taskbar/docker thing again.
Windows did something similar around the Windows 8 release, and then went
backpeddled in 8.1 to at least offer an option for a normal non-touchscreen
desktop style again.
I remember that time quite well, as I was dabbling with Linux for awhile before
that just as a fun hobby, but right around that time was when I ended up
shifting all of my BBS/FTN, plex and other server related stuff over to CLI
Linux, for good.
Now I just keep Windows for gaming. While Linux is catching up (slowly), it
still has a ways to go when it comes to high-end gaming.
Regards,
Nick
