Linux is a desktop OS. I hope it remains that way. My main worry is that some devs are pulling a Microsoft and bastardizing the desktop UI to make it "touch compatable". Firefox has changed to the Atrocious^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Austraulis GUI. In plain English, it sucks. I've switched to Seamonkey to keep the old interface. If you want a smartphone/tablet without Android, I recommend rooting the device, and having CyanogenMod installed. It's Android without the Google-garbage. A selection of FOSS apps is available at https://f-droid.org/ Because CyanogenMod is based on Android, it can run native Android apps from Google Play. -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
