Why bother so much with a default that can be easily changed? It's not like they deleted single click...

You're right. It's just that it adds to all of the other things. I wouldn't have said anything if it were the only thing. And what annoys me is: It's been that way for as long as I can think. And I think it's been pretty good that way. So why now change things that have been an excellent choice and have worked well for decades?

And now I can't ridicule the Gnome people any more.

I'd be happy to change my mind if someone gave me one argument in support of a double-click. Except for 'I only know windows and don't know any better'.

Well, I'm exaggerating a bit. I think I'm going to be okay. I'll just change the settings to how I like them. And maybe try Sway or something like that.

Then maybe stop ridiculing people at all? Seems like a waste of effort for basically no payout.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
