I was just thinking about the Linux similarity too. I didn't even notice it at first, but after reading through this thread, I couldn't help but wonder about tiling window managers like Xmonad and Ion.
Man, I want this UI.
Honestly, with my workflow, which is about 85% Ruby coding, 10% web browser and 5% Lisp exploration; using a touch-based screen with a keyboard and a fancy-pants tiling window manager like Windows 8 Metro - damn. I'd be one happy camper.
- dorian-graph 15y agoWhat exactly in the Win8 demo is similar to XMonad and similar tiling window managers?
- leif 15y agoOther tiling wms can "split the screen". Of course, that's where the similarities end. The problem with tiling wms on linux is that apps are not built for that model: to be stretched and squeezed like that. Notice how the video got real small and then took advantage of the extra space below the video? That's what we need linux apps to do before tiling wms will be great (well, and touch ui) for the average user.
