Description:
Scott Jenson has been working on user interfaces (UIs) and user experience (UX)
for many years at Apple, Google, and other companies. Now, he's trying to convince
open-source projects to experiment more and drive the desktop beyond the age-old " windows, icons, menus,
pointer " (WIMP) model. At Akademy2026 , KDE's annual developer
conference, he shared his complaints and ideas in a talk aimed
at convincing those in attendance to take the lead on desktop design.
