Donnyboy is not a fanboi himself?
Heh, his post was a bit short, so I guess I forgot.
I thought Linux based systems are all about not wasting cpu cycles and eing able to run on the most modest of configurations.
One work - "options". Have you used gnome or kde recently? The Vista and OSX 'eye candy' is already available on Ubuntu. I've yet to compare the amount of resources they take in comparison, though.
The linux story is littered with contradictions and hypocrisy, and i'm not "trolling", i find that to be very true.
I understand. No - really. But I think you can't take every fanatic's contradicting opinion and meld them into "the linux story". Users who want eye candy can have it. People who want to install on an old machine have the option of using freaky-low resources.
To clarify - someone correct me if I'm wrong - but the quote seems to be about the user experience, not just the "lipstick" of the user interface. eg. reorganising the way the desktop works, working on stability bugs etc. I don't see how this would relate to kernel development, but I don't know much about that. - Posted by: AndyCee Posted on: 09/14/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
