I have no pity (Score: 2, Interesting) by hyper@pipedot.org on 2014-08-30 14:52 (#2RWY) They dug this hole for themselves. Getting out will be rough. Perhaps it is they they jumped onto the linux-on-the-desktop and just give up on Windows. Re: I have no pity (Score: 3, Insightful) by zafiro17@pipedot.org on 2014-08-30 20:11 (#2RX5) Hey, be nice! If you remove Windows, who will Linux devs have to copy from? I'm being snarky, but it's more than half true on the interface/GUI front, at least. Although there's a fair bit of aping of Apple these days too. I find the new KDE5 interface to be full of low contrast pastels and thin, sans serif fonts. Looks like iOS. Come on guys, be original!

However, just like in school tests: it is important to copy the good stuff, not the bad stuff Re: I have no pity (Score: 1) by zafiro17@pipedot.org on 2014-08-31 11:43 (#2RXR) I still find myself going back to WindowMaker. Not sure why, but it has everything I need, stays the hell out of my way, and doesn't try to be fancy.
