Mint Linux Annoyances

Developers do not realize just how annoying too many features and keyboard shortcuts can be. When you are using your arm to slide your keyboard back further on the desk and suddenly all of your applications are forced close and you return to a login screen, data loss and all, you curse moronic linux developers and their goofy ideas of what is helpful.

Mint Linux Cinnamon Desktop comes out of the box very annoying.

To disable the workspaces feature

gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.wm.preferences num-workspaces 1

x.org control + alt + backspace closes everything and returns to login

This is actually a Linux x.org annoyance. The Ctrl + Alt + Backspace key combination is an X server shortcut that terminates the X session, logging you out and returning to the login screen. Nerds tell you this is a necessary safety net you might need if your system hangs. I call BS. There are other ways and a hard reboot with a journaling file system is not as fatal as they might have you believe. You're more likely to lose data from the keyboard combination itself. Bad idea nerds!
