Lycoris Desktop/LX Review

Posted by timothy on from the we-seek-the-grail dept.

JigSaw writes: "Lycoris Desktop/LX (formerly known as 'Redmond Linux') is viewed by many as the new big distribution in the "Linux on the Desktop" arena. OSNews features an extensive review of the latest Lycoris and outlines the good and the bad things of the distro. In short, Lycoris seems to suffer from the general GNU/Linux situation to not be ready to power a true desktop-oriented, easy to use distribution yet."

  1. I think its time Linux gave up on the Desktop ! by Lord+Hugh+Toppingham · · Score: -1, Troll
    I mean, with the Gnome/KDE/X11 battles and the lack of a consistant user interface, there is little hope of Linux ever making it onto corporate or domestic desktops.


    Sure, you zealots can fantasize all you like, but Linux is caught between a rock and a hard place.


    Micrsoft OWNS the desktop and is moving into the medium sized server arena. Sun and IBM OWN the high-end server market and are pushing down.


    There is no niche left for an operating system hacked together by students, with an appaling security model, and an antideluvian user interface.


    You might just as well argue that the Commodore AMIGA would make the ideal corporate PC. It just isn't happening dudes, time to pick upi your toys and go home...
