What would a next-gen OS interface look like?
<p>First, let's look at some really weird bits of those modern interfaces that are relics of the past and make very little sense now. Probably, if we would build such an important interface from scratch, then we would not include them in the current form.</p>
<p><strong>Launcher </strong>— In Mac and Linux, the launcher is the list of little icons on the side or bottom of the screen that allows you to launch some of the apps. It really made sense when you could operate only a few apps at the same time due to the limited resources of the computer. And you also probably didn't have many apps in total, so most would fit on the launcher. Now, however, apps stay open all the time, and the launcher is not really used to launch apps, except if you restart your computer. Instead, it is sometimes used to switch between apps and to see some notifications. There are three alternatives in Mac for how to launch apps — by clicking cmd-space to open Spotlight search and find the app, by opening Launchpad on the Launcher to see <em>all</em> the apps, and lastly, by looking at the Applications section in Finder. In Linux Gnome, there are similar options. This mix feels outdated and wrong.</p>
