One Quick Question about GNU/Linux and its Users

<< < (2/3) > >>

Laukev7:
What's wrong with that page?

Faust:
I also note that appleworks looks a lot like office, and safarie looks a lot like ie looks a lot like mozilla.  People get used to (ugh) "paradigms" (ritual cleansing myself now...) and they dont want to change.  I mean we've all seen how upset people get at the gimp ui over the photoshop ui.  Personally I *love* the gimp ui, but then I haven't been trained to use something else by habit.  And anyway I use enlightenment, so I never have to see a stupid "start" button anywhere.

The reason Linux and its apps look the way they do is beacause it runs on the X86 processor, as well as others, but most people use an intel type processor.

Any way, the two major things we see on Intels are Windows and Linux, the GUIs look somewhat interchangable so that the AVERAGE user is also interchangable.

We want to welcome the fallen windows users, not scare them off with something....new!

what, change, where?! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

But really KDE is very very versitile

I kinda make mine look like a cross between OSX and Longhorn

I have a big fat vertical bar on the left with clock time weather, dictionary, quick launcher, and emacs link

I also have a very small bar horizontal and centered on the bottom with Icon zooming
>a docker with a taskbar

and then ther is SuperKaramba

you have a point.  But I would consider Safari to look pretty different than mozilla.  But your right its all basically the same cus its what people are used to.  However.  I would consider the way most modern browsers are set to be the most efficient way.  While Windows is by no means efficient.

I'm going to look for enlightenment and try to get it to run on my OSX so I can see it.


Thanks for answering the question and not flaming me and labeling me a troll.
You answer is quite satisfactory.
