LXDE and Razor join forces to create one Qt-based desktop – KDE offers help
- mtct 13y agoI'm looking forward this. A good lightweight Qt DE is more than welcome.
- subway 13y agoThis is exciting. I really hope they keep the components loosely coupled, so that I can easily swap in xmonad and other goodies.
- mansoor-s 13y agoExactly! I am using xmonad with Unity (well really only using the universal menu bar). But I have to stay < Ubuntu 10.10 for it to be compatible. I get really nice convenience of a modern, stylish-ish interface with the easy navigation of a custom configured xmonad WM. I would love to not be stuck this far behind in the distro's release cycle. Also, I develop with and really like Qt. That is a big plus for me.
- moondowner 13y agoAdvice for everyone wanting to try Razor and use it on daily basis: Have KDE already installed and then install Razor. This way the functionality that is lacking in Razor will be covered by KDE, in my experience this is the most painless way to do it.
- mlinksva 13y agoNice. Wildly extrapolating from this GNOME and KDE should join forces to create one Qt-based desktop; GNOME-Qt. ;-)
- straight_talk_2 13y agoSure, right after iAndroid, Winux and Java#.
- mlinksva 13y agoc'mon it's a lot more likely than any of those. but can imagine a future in which the only way to run Windows on new hardware is in a Linux VM.
- straight_talk_2 13y agoc'mon a future in which the only way to run Linux on new hardware is in a Windows VM is a lot more likely. Just wait for the next 9/11 and Patriot Act 2.0 that makes software non-DRMed by big corps illegal...
- mlinksva 13y agoGNU/Linux yes, but in that scenario I'd expect to be able to run Android/Linux (FWIW I don't care about the naming argument, just disambiguating here) on new patriotic hardware... Edit: maybe Windroid is the most likely of any of the wild cases above. :)
