Comment Thankful to Gnome3 and Unity (Score 0) 798

Hey people, just relax! I really like that Gnome3 and Unity stuff because of that, I tried something different: fluxbox. I really love this piece of software and It's a really efficient gui. Thanks to all Gnome3 and Unity developers for programming bloated shit. Without you, I would have not met a really *great* gui. Beside this: why are people scared about Gnome3 or Unity. We are living in an open source world, so you have the choice. Linux/BSD is not Windows, you can switch from one graphical user interface to another. Who cares about Gnome or fuck-buntu.

Yes, I think you are absolutely right. I think the same way. It doesn't matter to me, whether the driver is open source and I can read the source code, or I can't read the source code and it is closed source. The most important thing is that the driver works reliably. For an ordinary user like me, it makes no different if I can read the source code or if i can't read the source code. But I think there's a different thinking in the depth of the linux community: If they can read what's going on here, they feel ok, can manipulate, improve or sth else ... and that's the spirit of open source.

Submission + - Linux Distribution Popularity Trends Plotted (linuxtrends.com)

__aajbyc7391 writes: In order to get a sense of the popularity of various Linux distributions over the past several years, LinuxTrends entered their names into Google’s search insights tool and grabbed images of the resulting graphs. The graphs display some fascinating trends and bode well for the future of Linux, particularly its ability to adapt to changing requirements and opportunities. What’s especially noteworthy is that Android is the first Linux spin to take on a life of its own within consumer devices. It’s certainly not the first use of Linux as an OS for devices; what’s unique, however, is that it’s the first branded Linux-based OS to be widely marketed to consumers.
