First contribution to usability testing
For the usability test, I set aside a guest user on my machine, a laptop running the Fedora 23 operating system with the GNOME desktop. There are no modifications to the install that should affect the results of the test. The participants executed the test separate from one another using otherwise identical settings.
The scenario tasks I used were taken from previous usability tests. I used the six scenario tasks on Gedit from Jim Hall's blog. I also borrowed the four Nautilus scenario tasks from Gina Dobrescu's blog from a previous usability test internship.

One of the best things about Linux is the range of choices available when it comes to desktop distributions. But that same level of choice can also be a bit confusing to newcomers to Linux.

Running Intel Haswell-ULT Graphics With Ubuntu 16.04's X-Staging PPA
There isn't much change to these results, which are found via this OpenBenchmarking.org result file. Mesa 11.2 is still exposing OpenGL 3.3 for the Intel driver but at least the next Mesa release should fully take the Intel driver well into the GL4 world. Again, if you want to help test Mesa 11.2 on Ubuntu 16.04, try the the x-staging PPA. I'm still having some other Ubuntu 16.04 graphics (including NVIDIA/Nouveau) coming out in the next few days on Phoronix.
