Moving Toward a Single Linux UI?
Anonymous writes "With the releases of Fedora 9, Hardy Heron and OpenSuSE 11 so close together, it's looking more than ever like an evolution to a common interface for major Linux distributions. Here's a compilation of screen shots and descriptions that make it appear to be the case. Would this be a good thing or a bad thing?" There are plenty of other options out there, of course, even considering only Linux distros that are based on Gnome and KDE, and plenty of wilder (or at least less common) desktops to choose from besides.
80x25 white on black bash, baby.
Just disrupt the deflector shield with a tachyon burst.
Because that's my first thought when someone mentions that they use xfce or CDE -- "wow, that desktop environment sure is WILD!"
Not only will it be year of the linux desktop.. but hell will freeze over.
Lets face it, linux users love choice. And since they're more likely than not to be fanboys (c'mon, everyone knows a linux convert is preachy about his newfound OS), then they're probably also fanboys about UI.
"I have no window decorations of any kind - no titlebars, resize grab areas, etc, etc. Moving, resizing, iconifying, etc"

Yeah, well I've been using it as my main OS for 5 years! At least, according to my resume, which I carefully prepared according to the job description.
I'm waiting for a "-1 somepeoplejustshouldn'tgetmodprivileges" meta-moderation.

There, I said it.
Life is rarely fair. Cherish the moments when there is a right answer.
void karmakiller(int depth) {
// I win, but you have to read it bottom up :P
for (int i = 0; i < depth; i++) printf("| ");
printf("What's funny about this?\n");
karmakiller(depth+1);
}
int main() {
karmakiller(0);
}
The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.
If we use a single UI for all Linux PCs everyone will have to share one monitor! I don't think that's very convenient.
Maybe we can work out a compromise - like one UI every 100 square kilometers. The monitors could then be made really big and attached to blimps. Would that be acceptable?

I for one welcome our "What's funny about this" repeating overlords but in Soviet Russia overlord welcomes you.
You want fun, go home and buy a monkey!
Gopher, obviously.

In Soviet Korea "What's funny about this" repeating overlords welcome only old people.
