Linux desktop environments are you usually far ahead of anyone else in terms of actual innovation and not social tricks (like the way iMessage works.)
They’re just usually not as sexy.
- thrwn_frthr_awy 7y agoCan you give any specific examples?
- swiley 7y agoWorkspaces and virtual desktops where the best for a long time. There’s a lot of very impressive stuff the KDE people do, I don’t use it because personally I prefer a ver very simple DE.
- hanniabu 7y agoBring sexy, aka user friendly, is a large part of an OS in terms of GUI.
- swiley 7y agoUser friendliness and sexiness are different enough that I would actually consider them orthogonal.
- Bud 7y agoThe "way iMessage works" is not a "social trick". End-to-end encryption, reliability, multimedia features, and a commitment to user privacy are not "social tricks".
