jedimasterk Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Still not as slick looking as Windows XP or Mac OSX. GUI is visually about the same level as Windows 95 . So much for opensource!. Second class work!!. :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshie Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I've never liked Linux GUIs very much. The taskbars were always a big turnoff. Always felt way too blocky and dull, and I hate the Gnome button being so big. KDE isn't much better, though definitely more tolerable than Gnome. As for the rest of the interface, it reminds me a lot of OS/2 for some reason. Linux GUIs were never very slick and smooth, and whatever skins there are out there feel horribly amateur. Give me a GUI that can look as simple and polished as XP+Watercolor, and I'll be happier. Till then, the little 3D penguin sledding game was probably the only cool thing I ever saw on Linux.

neowin_hipster Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 KDE and GNOME have crappy gui. Try some others. Some of the other GUI are far nicer (well not than Aqua but way better than LUNA), and 100% skinnable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatter Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I like the GNOME UI much better than any interface i've used. KDE is nice but there are some things that are too much like windows for my liking. I have my gnome skinned to a way that I like it (see other thread) and there are many many other themes available. The only gripe I have with it is the window placement (places windows at full size but off the screen a little so you have to move it into focus) but I am using an older version of sawfish so that may be the problem. -Hatter :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(any distro of linux could look like that) i'm just curious...? in fact that mandrake 8.2 beta, i wonder if the final looks any better/different , i assume not.

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted March 20, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 20, 2002 i like mandrake's look versus other distros. maintains a professional, yet friendly egde to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinh Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Why the heck do you want linux to look like win? sometimes i dont understand yous people. :mad: :mad: :dead: :ermm: :right: :right: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiNZ Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 I admit I have never tried Linux . The eye candy seems to me to be somewhat retro . What is the compatibility like with the newest Distributions? Is the performance worth the hassles I hear about the setting up etc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixbum Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 there not much difference between the distros regarding desktops - its up to the users to do what they want. i mean mandrake looks the same as debian more or less, except a few icons maybe... what you should try to find are screenshots of different windowmanagers like blackbox and enlightenment...

sunnyy4 Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 I have always wanted to try out Linux... but, alas, my hard disk is a wimpy 10 GB... maybe on my next computer due out this summer! A nice, juicy 80 GB's... that should be more than enough for me to dual-boot and loads of MP3's... :) I hope that I can only use Linux one day and drop Windows... PM me if you know anything that will let me use Win32 programs on Linux (anything but Lindows... I'm paying squat!) btw: Don't flame me for this, but what is a troll?
