seanraf Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I was wondering if there was a way to get KDE or Gnome running over Darwin. I know there is a port for the X11 system over darwin, but how would you install a GUI over that? Is there any easy way to do this as a prompt or do you have to mess around in the kernel? Thanks!

seanraf Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Thanks! I was looking at the gnu-darwin distro (http://www.gnu-darwin.org) and running a script to install Gnome over it but I couldn't seem to find a working iso download. So, I would just install OS X on my PC on another partition and then install KDE over that?

Joe_Beans Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 KDE is just a window-manager it is not a OS. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12594-gui/#findComment-80961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanraf Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 I know that. I love the power and stability of Darwin but I cannot stand not having a GUI. I was wondering how I can get gnome or kde running over Darwin such as Aqua does on OS X.

ozzie123 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Wait wait... If we can plug KDE/GNOME as Darwin's GUI Manager, does this mean we could also use macintosh programs on top of it? I mean, the kernel are practically the same (minus the AppleScript I think)...
