Topic: Elementary OS, has anyone tried it?
Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #14,633
Looks like an OSX clone. Doesn't have to be a bad thing. Will try this out on a spare PC or live if possible.
http://elementaryos.org/discover
Sure appeals more than Ubuntu, Mint or one of the other wanna be OSX clones.

Looks like Ubuntu (using Gnome 2.x) with a dock.
Meh 5/10 bud.
Also, while Ubuntu 10.04 and beyond are definitely OS X-like in appearance, Linux Mint doesn't look anything like OS X. Interestingly enough, in the introduction of OS X in 2000, Steve Jobs described it as a "very Linux-like" operating system.

Oh fuck that's another reason I hated Jobs. Yeah, it's Linux like but for the fact it's closed source making it nothing at all like Linux. Hyperbole much, motherfucker?

How do you feel about Ubuntu turning (visually, at least) into an OS X clone with the dock on the side instead of the bottom?

So they made an illegal clone of the Ubuntu --App Store-- Software Center?
But what's so bad about people trying to sell software? I think commercial software and free and open source can coexist peacefully. If you don't like the idea of people charging for software, then use FOSS instead.

Nothing, if they are marketing their own stuff. The screenshots look like someone just slapped a dock on Xubuntu. I get the feeling it's Ubuntu with a bullshit app store thrown in to make someone a little money.

I feel I could give a shit. OSX will never be on the level of Linux because it will never be open source. However good it is, it will never be anything close to what Linux is. Linux will always have an untouchable cumulative advantage.
Developers are well aware of this fact, they're simply terrified about ushering in a future where it's considerably harder for them to get paid. Look at Opera, their fucking developers will tell you this exact thing matter of factly.

If they were going to copy Ubuntu, they could have at least used Unity, which is open source.
If they used Unity and somehow put the dock on the bottom, it would be even more OS X-like.

It sucks. Like I said. Here's a better use of your time:
1. Install Ubuntu 11.10.
2, Download Synapse and Compiz settings manager.
3. Open Compiz and disable hideous Unity plugin.
4. Good with a command line?
Yes: Add Tint2 taskbar.
No: Add Cairo Dock or Avant Window Navigator.
Enjoy.

So where exactly do I download a fully functional free version?
Besides, the fact Apple would do such a thing only proves my point. Developers are beginning to demand the freedom to copy their peers without getting into a heap of legal shit. It's good Apple's doing this to keep the best developers, I suppose.

I'm so tired of this fucking comment. We want "open source" retard. Mac doesn't provide what we want.
We are the consumers and an open system is something we fucking demand. Will we ever understand it all? Of course not, but we like the idea that we can fuck around with it if we want to. That's part of the fun for us.
I don't know why this has to be explained so often. For the users of Linux it's like a hobby. We fucking like computers. We like tinkering with them. We like getting a glimpse of the insides. It's pretty fucking basic.

I agree wholeheartedly, but in all fairness, it is obvious that elementaryOS makes an attempt to emulate OS X's design.
I didn't play with it that much, but the developers did make it harder to customize by disabling many graphical configuration options, like easy panel adjustment, though they did go the extra mile to introduce some unique software like Marlin and Postler, which was speedy, responsive and all went together very well (even cooler is that a lot of this software can be used on any Linux system with the proper dependencies, and are in the official repositories), in addition to their own impressive GTK theme.
I know one of the awesome things about free software is the ability to tinker with it and configure it to your exact liking....but many people don't even want to have that option available, as it makes it easier to screw something up, and elementaryOS does certainly offer a presentable, unified experience for people that don't give a fuck how it works on the inside and prefers to adjust to configurations rather than set their own.

It is to the kind of user I'm talking about. The idea of using a command line is, to most, arcane and outdated, and without modern features like tab completion, it kinda is.
Sure, I could edit my DE's settings all manually, but that's silly when I can simply right-click, choose "Preferences" and make whatever changes I wish. And I could go full retard and accidentally delete the panel and oh joy won't that be fun to redo; people make mistakes and that is just a fact of life. If the user doesn't give a shit about changing the settings like that, then why make it easier for them to nuke everything?
That is what elementaryOS targets. If you don't like it, then don't use it, that is your choice.

Like I said, learn some shit son and get back to me. CLI is superior for some tasks while GUI is superior for others. Configuration is an area where CLI shines, not because it's pretty but because it's easier to teach someone to type "xyz" than it is to teach them to click X, then Y, then Z.
Get a fucking clue. Just because Steve Jobs jacked off to GUI every night doesn't make it automatically better for every application. GUI is like a multiple choice test; It's for fucking retards. Now of course retards have a right to an education, because everyone does. But they have NO FUCKING RIGHT to configure the curriculum. That's what the smart people who know how to use CLI are for.

Of course we're not on the same page. I'm rational and intelligent enough to recognize that CLI is superior in some instances while you seem to think GUI is inherently superior for all applications simply because the learning curve is lower.
The point I'm making is a higher learning curve is actually preferable for higher level functionality because it separates the wheat from the chaff.

No no, I'm just reiterating what the general consensus is, not my opinion. OS X has powerful shells like bash and zsh installed by default, but do you really think a stereotypical Mac user is willing to use anything without shiny buttons?
Besides, most people are Windows users, so when they think of using a CLI, it's probably the Command Prompt, which is arcane and outdated. Either that or sooper l33t hacker bullshit from Hollywood.

Your initial comment led me to believe that you did, in fact, give a shit about such people. My point was that software freedom means that people can, and will, use it in ways that you think are stupid. So, fair enough.

It's all there, you just have to put it together
And since you're a Linux user, you probably have a lot of time on your hands.

It's all irrelevant. Your children will be slaves to technology while mine will be masters of it. Performance is irrelevant when knowledge and power are what's being traded away for it.

So put it together then and publish it as a free download on your own website. See what happens to your ignorant ass then. Hope you can afford a good lawyer.

Nah, that's only Stallman. He's fucking weird like that. Literally emails condolences to people whenever they have a child. Refers to human reproduction as a "menacing phenomenon." I know the guy's smart and rational and all but that's a bit much.
People want kids, they don't give a fuck about the consequences. They want kids and they don't care if others lose because of it, just like we want free software and we don't care it corporations lose because of it. He of all people should understand.

My issues with Ubuntu have really dwindled since 11.04, I installed 9.10 on this PC and haven't had an issue yet through all of the upgrading. The occasional problem does not require more than an hour or so of troubleshooting, although I have had to re-install Ubuntu in the past.
