Okay, I'm hooked.
EDIT:
So I tried FullPliant for about 30 minutes.
* FullPliant is a distro. From the documentation: "operating system and administration tools" (as one layer). The administration tool can be access remotely. It feels like Redhat + Cockpit to me.
* It's a kind of web-based environment. Each view has a `loopback://` url.
* It has some interesting applications. Virtualization ones can be handy for operating mini boxes.
* The UI is, indeed, very consistent. All menu operations can be accessed with Alt+( ) combination. This feels very solid and convenient.
But, overall, UI needs some more work.
* UIs are buggy in some deeper parts.
* WYSIWYG editor is buggy.
* Doesn't support text selection nor block delete (i.e. ctrl-backspace).
* UI elements aren't kind. (i.e. calendar app requires you to punch in date-string directly.)
(TBH, these are all not so fun to work on.)
Apparently, the author used his own creation to roll some industrial boxes. If so, it does explain the application line up and the overall look-and-feel. This can be useful for driving server boxes with specific goals, but is less of a do-it-all desktop environment.
- dang 4y agoDoes the site have contact info? I couldn't find any, but I feel like one of us should let Hubert know this is on HN. Maybe he'd show up to answer questions!
