that's why i compare it to windoze.
and why you need "desktop" (whatever it means) at all?
You need desktop for Unix (Linux) to be adopted by simple users.
Also GUI makes life much easier even for advanced users.
I don't want to deal command lines/config files for mundane
things like finding and setting up wireless networks, playing
CDs/DVDs, etc. GUI integrated with desktop would make this
much less time consuming.
If I need to (re)configure the behaviour of som app or part of the
system, I edit the appropriate config file, which takes about a minute
or two...
If a user of some fancy desktop with lots of whistles and bells wants to
do the same, he/she has to browse through an extensive hierarchy of
categories and subcategories to get to the setting he/she wants to
change. That hierarchy is more than often far from intuitive, so that
very same task may take ten minutes or more.
In what way is the latter easier than the first? I see none...
just window manager is enough, try fvwm2 maybe icewm maybe other etc.
not really enough.
Unfortunately open source is pretty much a failure when it comes to GUI and
desktop. Any kind of GUI, look at ddd for example. Untested
development-stage
software (like kde4) is being released to the public for some reason.
