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.

This looks slick! The current edit mode is confusing and one presented in the video is a such an improvement and better user interface / experience. With it, I can finally introduce this concept to my brother.
Seems like a good redesign.

I'm OP dude
Wow that looks inkredible!
Okay that actually looks incredible
Maybe missing something but it seems like it mostly adds fancy animations like zooming out the desktop and sliding items around.
It looks nice but it looks like quite a superifical redesign of edit mode? But in fairness it may feel more effective in use.
But my issues with edit mode are not the ones described in the short post, so probably why it doesn't speak to me much.
I guess the main improvement is that the panels and sidebars don't cover the desktop, so you can edit all of it more easily.
To me the most annoying thing with edit mode was that auto-hide panels would still hide in edit mode, making them difficult to edit, but that was also fixed a little earlier.
