I just accidentally clicked the “clear all” on the browser URL and wished that it was a bit harder to click but was still there. If it took three clicks to make happen, its still useful in most circumstances but would drastically drop the mistaken clicks

Anyway, what are your unpopular UI opinions?

    For every UI app that runs commands in the background, Instead of a “Doing XYZ. Please Wait”, I want the logs of the commands being run. Not just the commands themselves, but their verbose outputs too. I want it ALL on display.

    I want to know what the software I am using is doing to my computer. I dont want black box software on my PC.

      While I do want the logs accessible, I don’t know if I want it all on display.

      Ever like, dig through Windows or Proton logs? Plain text files measurable in megabytes within seconds.

      This used to be so common with installers in the past. Sometimes you had to click a button to show it. But I don’t really see it anymore

      Running a program in terminal on Linux gives you a detailed output log that you can pipe into a txt file.
