“Simplified desktop”…go to their website, literally no pictures of the desktop interface (at least on mobile).
Everyone who makes software, always follow this formula on your homepage: clearly state what problem exists without your software, show your software, clearly state what problems go away with your software, then describe its actual features
- Arnavion 2y agoThe screenshot you're asking for will be indistinguishable from any GNOME desktop screenshot you find on GNOME's website. Before giving advice it would be worth understanding the subject matter. It's a new OS, not a new desktop shell.
- Rochus 2y agoThe title statement "works toward a simplified desktop" makes the authors' focus pretty clear, so it's just fair to look for screenshots. It would be disappointing if it was just the same as GNOME.
- q66 2y agowell that's just what the LWN article states, the project itself does not do that anywhere the desktops on chimera are standard (gnome/kde/xfce and a variety of compositors and window managers available for installation)

- LeFantome 2y agoTowards a “simplified desktop Linux distribution”, not a “simplified Desktop Environment”. The screenshot could be GNOME, KDE, or something else. It would not help you understand what Chimera Linux is trying to achieve.
- Rochus 2y agoApparently the article doesn't help either.
