I'd love to switch to Linux, but as a designer, I'm stuck. But then I think the difficulty of the exercise is in setting the "correct" level of complexity for this operation. While macOS does (for the moment) have this hatch, it looks maybe /too/ complex. But those OSs need to have an "escape hatch" for someone who actually wants those features disabled and actually understands the risks of disabling them. In the end, I think the best way is for such features to be the default setup. Having people go through hoops and click through warning messages would probably also push companies to better design their software. So I think that for an OS like macOS, where most people flock "because it just works and has no viruses", strict defaults are a sane choice. While most of Linux's audience (and probably practically all of NetBSD's) is rather technically inclined and could possibly be expected to turn on the security features as they need them, most of Windows' and macOS's audience will very likely have no idea that there is even an option to do this.Īlso, software companies would probably take the easy route and just assume that since those features aren't enable by default, most people don't enable them and develop their software in a way which could be incompatible with them. install.It seems to me that the issue with this approach is that those commercial OSs have to deal with a way more diverse audience than NetBSD and even Linux. Then use any text editor and change the "Icon=" to "Icon=name-of-the-icon.svg"įor more information, run. desktop located in /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/sktop into $HOME/.local/share/applications/. Note for snaps: To use these icons with snaps, the best way is to make a copy of the application's. Install alternative icons (redesigned MacOS default icons) Specify theme color variant(s) (Default: blue) Specify theme destination directory (Default: $HOME/.themes) If you like my project, you can buy me a coffee: MacOS Big Sur like icon theme for linux desktops Donate
