Who Needs XFree86?
An anonymous reader writes "With this review Linux and Main says it is kicking off a project to put together a Linux machine that operates entirely in the console, including applications, without the user ever having to enter anything at a command prompt. The review is of Twin, the very cool windowing environment for the console. Applications will be added over time, and readers are invited to nominate their favorite little-known console applications."
this not a troll I swear /. about M$ Longhorn XP or whatever its called, it was beautiful and a user interface is not only eye candy we have that already just look at the tons of themes but also concept like responsivness which X lacks with its big FAT slow ass
The good news is that people are finally understanding that X sucks, X is ugly, slow, stupid, a big pile of hacks and rustry code.
I think X is one of the reasons that Linux is not catching up on the desktop, why have built-in network transparency when you can still have a remote desktop by other cleaner ways, no matter how much effort is spent on fixing X it will for ever suck
the bad news is that this distro is a step back to the good ole 80s the desktop is becoming more graphical, loaded with eye candy,a day ago a story was posted on
for Linux to do some serious desktop stuff it should lose X as soon as possible.
Slashbots complain constantly about how bloated, say, Office XP is.
And you're telling me Emacs is an entire light weight OS?
Double standards are amusing.
