Interestingly, whenever I try to help my relatives with diff versions of Windows, I'm instantly agitated and mutter unkind words at the user interface, how slow and awkward it is. I no longer know Windows interface well and as a result, I don't like it. As you might have guessed I use Linux (Fedora, Ubuntu and derivatives) for years now and they seem very natural to me. The point is that we all get used to how those interfaces work and before learning the new one, we ditch it.
In Ubuntu you can have multiple desktop interfaces (you probably got Unity default, which is slightly controversial), you can replace them. But in a bigger picture, Desktop Interface style really matters little in Linux, its strength is in a myriad of software that can be installed for free, services and the power of the command line. If you become familiar with Linux, you no longer care for the Desktop. Good luck with Vortex, it is a Linux showcase and no Desktop in sight :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ matka's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34878 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98611 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
