There seem to be a bunch of users asking for inclusion of the Tweak
Tool in Workstation.
On the one hand, I'm not sure this is coming from a solid use case
perspective, beyond "I like to fiddle more settings in the GUI than
the standard GNOME Settings allow." It seems to me that if someone
knows what they want to tweak at that level, it would follow they're
capable of installing a piece of software for this.
On the other hand, this may be an opportunity to gather useful
information on tweaks to GNOME. It would be nice not to close the BZ
bug peremptorily. We should consider the request thoughtfully in the
context of Workstation, and if possible, see what information we can
glean from the reporters or interested parties, and see what action
is
worth taking.
I don't think that patching the control-center to launch the tweak
tool makes sense. That's entirely out of line with how the other
control-center panels work.
I don't have a problem with making the tweak tool easily available,
but I have to wonder: are we failing so badly in our attempt to make
software readily available via gnome-software and search that
everything still has to be pre-installed ?
As an experiment, I removed gnome-tweak-tool and then I searched for
'tweak' in the shell overview - the tweak tool shows up among the
search results provided by gnome-software, and it is 3 clicks from
there to having it running (one to open gnome-software, one to
install, one to launch).
Is that still too hard ?
