DE is fine. A desktop environment contains the "desktop" and some applications AFAIK, like KDE, so Gnome 2 is a DE too (Evolution etc.).

MATE is a window manager based on gnome 2 source code.

Gnome 2 is not a window manager.

We like Windows 7: it's faster than Vista
It only has different default settings which is not OS-related.

makes better use of your system resources
Same.

is packed with interesting features, and looks great, too.
No.

It's where Mint is the future IMO. Gnome bothering you? Hello MATE.
-Paul Keith (May 28, 2012, 01:34 AM)
Different window managers and desktop environments are available on many platforms, even Windows.  :P

Constantly breaking something? Hello update manager with colored icons.
-Paul Keith (May 28, 2012, 01:34 AM)
I doubt the icons will stop the breaking.

After all, Mint is built very well and looks reasonable, however it is based on Ubuntu which is known to break a lot, so I never gave it a run. I used the Debian Edition on some machines until quite recently when the last LMDE machine died. Last night I updated my dual-boot Fedora to Fedora 17...

Still, FreeBSD is the superior system.  :D (Could not resist.)

General Software Discussion / Re: Do you like CAPTCHAs?

Captchas are pointless. Even reCAPTCHA is cracked by now, while we humans have serious problems entering "ᵺᴤᴃݩݝ" on a German keyboard.

Heck, my friend has Firefox running on an old XP and it performs twice as fast as on my system!  :-[
-dantheman (May 21, 2012, 08:00 AM)
Another proof that Linux is overrated.
Linux might be the currently preferred "wannabe geek system". So what? Technically, it is average at best.

General Software Discussion / Re: owncloud - alternative to big brand backups
« Last post by Tuxman on May 13, 2012, 08:14 PM »
I have installed some ownCloud, and while I like its general concept, it still lacks the easiness of my Dropbox, and I (personally) don't have any use for its other sync plug-ins.

And it is ugly.

Living Room / Re: Blog comments - On of off?
« Last post by Tuxman on May 13, 2012, 08:09 PM »
On my "blog" (although I would never refer to it as a blog) I generally allow comments, only turned them off for one article where too much flame was posted.

While I really don't care if the things I write are of any interest for anyone (I mainly write because I like to), sometimes I get useful feedback, like failings in my research. (I had to correct some articles in the past because I leave my comments section open.)

However, maybe I am not the typical audience. About 150 daily readers (avg. value) are not really top of the world.

General Software Discussion / Re: Basic word processor and active URLs
« Last post by Tuxman on May 07, 2012, 03:59 PM »
I have gathered many names of programs: Abi Word, Angel Writer, Devvicky Word, DocPad, Jarte, KeyNote Nf, MemPad, Qjot, ScratchPad, The Guide, TxtEdit, Verbum, Win32Pad, WinVi.
-Giampy (May 05, 2012, 05:05 PM)
WinVi is not a word processor. KeyNote NF is not a word processor. MemPad probably is neither.

Try AkelPad (the "full" version).

Waterfox' homepage is pretty much useless, all I need is this.  :P

Linux has been having a 64 bit build for years. Win64 builds are available in the "comm-central" branch, Firefox 15 "alpha". :)

Yep, been using the latter for months. A pity Firefox follows the Chrome design guidelines and Mozilla removes more and more essential features. Good thing there are extensions.

« Last post by Tuxman on May 04, 2012, 04:41 PM »
Wrong. "Suse programs" can even run on FreeBSD.  :D
The only thing that might break compatibility are library dependencies. ELF binaries are ELF binaries (like .exe on Windows), but if certain libraries (.dll files) are missing or exist in their wrong versions, you will not be able to execute the application without breakages.

Why don't you wait for the release version before you make your final opinion?
