![]() The apple FS what is that horrible HFS+ shite ? Seriously please stop with the Apple glorification, some of the underlying technology powering osx is just crap. I really don’t see the hype – I don’t get why people with an apple product feel like they are superior, its just the general smugness and the elitism that it tends to produce as well – like your part of some exclusive club… You mean after installing macports and a load of other utilities that a typical linux distro offers out of the box … Yeah really time saving, I’ve been there wowed by the Shiny apple macbook pro – ooh look its unix it looks pretty – used it for a couple of months got annoyed by the utter shite apple defaults – natural scrolling ? The terrible window management and ended up straight back on Linux, I detest their uk keyboard layout as well. You surely mean a GUI that has terrible window management have you tried making any changes to the underlying os / system ? some of the modifications apple have done is just plain horrible. I have a macbook pro running osx and it just feels like such a downgrade, its opengl stack is old, its window management is complete shite cant modify the look and feel – there is nothing I have seen osx do that is better than what KDE offers. To the guy complaining about dolphin being a downgrade to Konqueror – Dolphin is a massive upgrade compared to the crap that is finder.ĭrag a window to any corner and you get the window instantly at a quarter of the screen – drag it to the side and its half screen – no messing about with the mouse trying to align the various applications / windows. ![]() Dolphin has supported tabbed windowing since it came out (this was something apple was showing off recently for finder – like its some how impressive) – Dolphin supports split/tabbed/network browsing – simple clean does everything I need when it comes to file management. Ignore the desktop effects – notice how easily dual monitor support works – notice the snap to feature for window management. This is a video I did of Kubuntu 11.10 (KDE 4.7) KDE 4 when it first came out was bad – They released it too early and had about a year of turmoil but since then its far surpassed KDE 3. If KDE had stayed at 3 – people like yourself would say I switched to OSX because there is no progress in the Linux Desktop… Damned if you do damned if you don’t. I read the article and all I can think of is “another pointless rewrite?”. I was one of those people that would’ve genuinely struggled before distro’s like Ubuntu! Not quite Joe Six Pack, not quite intelligent enough for nitty gritty. I have to say, I’ve never compiled my own kernel. As I got older and got more in to computer gaming, I switched back to Windows. I just liked the customization options back when I used to use XP, because I had a much older computer that ran better with Linux with lighter weight software. ![]() I think I must’ve worded my post poorly I actually don’t use Linux anymore, and never used it due to ideology. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll get on with my work, while the operating system just does its damn job without annoying me.ītw, a good part of my work is customizing embedded linux kernelsītw, a good part of my work is customizing embedded linux kernels I’ve had enough of the application icons moving around a few pixels every time one of them decides to redraw.īut I only switched when Canonical dropped all financial support for KDE and announced Unity. However, I’ve had enough of every desktop environment being replaced by another “improved” desktop environment while the indexing daemon still takes 100% CPU all the time. OS X is useless to me without a bunch of command line stuff from MacPorts or Homebrew, most developed on Linux. You may be using Linux because of ideological reasons, but I switched to it back when you were still supposed to compile your own kernel – only because it worked better than Windows. It could be that they switched because OSX works better for what they wanted.Īlthough I don’t use Apple products, I respect them and the ecosystem they built, and it works great for a lot people. Although I understand the concern, a lot of people that used Linux did so for reasons other than software philosophy. ![]() Nothing could be more dimetrically opposite to KDE than OS X. Are you sure you were not just following a trend?
