>OLPC should abandon Sugar and install a working Linux GUI.
YES. how about FLUXBOX. ( http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/) I find it a pritty neet GUI manager and it wont eat up sooo much of resource! I find sometimes sugar using ~30% of CPU in normal cursor movements in desktop (try it) Its SAD to see XO focuses on GUI experience of a 6 year old but 10 years old are second priority!? If we target XO to be used by 6-13 year old kids. 6-9 year kid will live it... 9-13 years old will (probably) try seek for better alternate! In developing countries XO wont be in hands of children <5years old. Maybe 6-7 year old kids after they have learned how to hold a pencil and draw with their hand.
Comment (by RafaelOrtiz): Velocity of performance they dont complain about difficulty or easiness, they just want to explore and to play.
Funny! . Firstly, do they know other GUI managers exist in the first place? (so that they can use it, then compare and probably complain??? ) others are better.... others are better......
A traditional desktop environment does not meet OLPC requirements in many respects, including the new collaboration, and storage (Journal) mechanisms. Try retrofitting GNOME or KDE with that.
So does that mean... we didnt have alternates so we CREATED a NEW GUI or we we created a NEW GUI because it was better? -bipin _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
