What does that mean? do you already hate me ? :) C'mon, I started with the |
| 12 |
classical linux desktop description (mdk, rh, ...) and made it fight with your |
| 13 |
vision of gentoo desktop. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Sad but true, the only answerwe have is that we don't want their desktop. But |
| 16 |
every propositions to change things from the vanilla state won't fit everybody. |
| 17 |
So the bottom line is the vanilla state, for now. I'm trying to make you all |
| 18 |
react so that we can find something else. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
We won't agree on menu structure, because some of us will find that it's too |
| 21 |
intrusive. Why change the background of frame buffer, loader, and not the DE |
| 22 |
background? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
And if you change the background with a big G, then why not change the default |
| 25 |
theme? Each time we'll want to change a little thing, we will fight, argue, and |
| 26 |
so on, because we want to have a gentoo desktop without changing anything. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I'd say : let don't do "gentoo desktop"! we just maintain the desktop vanilla |
| 29 |
stuff. Default config is the vanilla one, changed to fit the (non desktop) |
| 30 |
modification that have been done to the core gentoo. If the guy wants an |
| 31 |
unified menu, he emerges the menu system, we provide the good config file. If |
| 32 |
he wants a background for the frame buffer, he can put one himself... |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
That's the best solution : let's customize every pieces without thinking about |
| 35 |
the global desktop experience. The user will choose which pieces to put |
| 36 |
together. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I think that's the debian desktop. That's not that bad, debian desktop is rock |
| 39 |
solid, stable, good looking once configured, and powerfull if you install the |
| 40 |
powerfull stuff. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
But you seem to want something else... |

I'm sorry about that, I learned I could be the desktop leader 10 mins before we |
| 50 |
argue together on irc. |
