Make the design case for why it is better than the default task switcher and do so visually in a manner that is difficult to ignore.

This way, even if it wasn’t immediately accepted, people could still install and use it and, if enough people did, it might be included as the default later on. Make it easy to install (and uninstall) so anyone, including the elementary team, could try it out easily. So, instead, I knew what I needed to do was to show not tell: One way of achieving that might have been to take part in endless bikeshedding in GitHub issues, etc. I wanted Catts to eventually become the default task manager in elementary OS, not languish as an option for a handful of technically-savvy people for over seven years, like its precursor. So I decided to bite the nail on the head and make an Odin-only version called Calmer Alt-Tab Task Switcher (Catts).

Speaking with Mark, the maintainer, it didn’t look like it was going to be a trivial update either. I hit my first hurdle almost immediately when I realised that I’d been using a custom task switcher called gala-alt-tab-plus that hadn’t been updated for Odin. On August 14th, after publicly documenting some of the things I was backing up, I took the plunge. It took me a few days to build up the courage to do so. Since there is no auto-update tool, you have to back everything up, wipe your computer, and install the new operating system from scratch.
