GNOME v. KDE, December 2005 edition
OK the word is OUT! :
"I think the KDE development process has been a lot more "lively", and I
think a _lot_ of the reason for that has been that they haven't allowed
the "interface nazi" kind of stifling of what people feel they need to
do."
O'Reilly Flame Mode ON:
This touches the core issue. The semi-commercial quasi-marketing attitude
with Open Source companies in the USA, be it RedHat or Novell, is very
annoying with respect to the level of being a "FUCKING IDIOT"
If Torvalds means that the U.S. based linux companies really think that
dumbing down the Linux desktop is needed in order to compete with Bill
Gates and his total brain-lost clientele, He's absolutely right.
Why would one allow the Linux Desktop to be moved into the same direction
as the Vista of XP Desktop? That's a sick idea. It maybe a brilliant
marketing idea for Novell or RedHat, but most people seem not to realize
that the windows desktop is part of a total dumbdown campaign inside the
USA.
