a base gui system that includes: hardware (drivers) management (gfx card, ect), a graphic subsystem (similar to windows gdi), a universal sound subsystem (alsa would do the job) and finally, a damn basic desktop that could be highly customized so people at gnome and kde can still rls their stuff.įinally, linux gui needs to be simplified. Why? linux needs a new gui, badly… i mean, c’mon! with all the people wasting their time on gnome, kde, ect and all the guys at novell, redhat, sun it wouldnt be that hard to start something new… so why not? i think that novell, redhat, sun, ect should join up and start something else to compete with windows, macos… but not yet if you plan to install a multimedia player, office suite, ect. ok let’s add another 10 libs for like gnome. well you can live without one but thats painful. but no! you need a basic window manager because X doesnt include one. so you get them all hoping you will finally be able to browse the web.

then you realize that hmm, your web browser depends on gtk that needs at least 20 more libs to work. but still not enough, you need to deal with many fonts issues (more libs!). but thats not enough! you have to deal with a specific server for good performance. see, you need a simple gui web browser on your linux box. Linux will never be a wise choice for gui apps for that reason. but i’m sure it will be soon -5 because most people out there cant accept that the whole some stuff + X + some stuff + toolkits + some stuff + window managers + some stuff + desktop environnment + some stuff + … is completely wrong. At the moment, the score of your comment is 3 and i think it should be 5.
