sandmanfvrga Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Why? OS X and it's interface is a big part of what makes OS X, well, OS X. It has been copied so many times. I don't see why you would get rid of it for the KDE environment when KDE just tries to be like Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embio Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 thats brilliant! I wont need to run Linux distros in Parallels to check out new Applications, lower RAM overheads. Hopefully GNOME will go down a similiar route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wow Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Sounds great i always wanted to try kde aps. But installing linux kept me away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I thinks it's very cool. I would like to see a GNOME version, but I would guess users will have more apps with KDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I thinks it's very cool. I would like to see a GNOME version, but I would guess users will have more apps with KDE Leopard "may likely" have GTK+ support, so we might be seeing GNOME apps on OS X sooner than you thing. http://www.oreillynet.com/mac/blog/2006/12...meet_gtk_1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro17 Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 OS X: The Ultimate Linux Platform 1)Not so odd: OS X is a *nix OS after all. 2)Not a bad thing at all, if OS X can attract Linux users as well (and it does, in fact. For many starting with Linux and moving to OS X is quite a normal thing to do. What is odd, but it does happen, is going back to Windows after years of Linux experience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 It appears that they're using Leopard in those screenshots. If you look closely at this one in particular, you can see Time Machine.app in the Apps folder. Also, the KDE Control Center says Darwin 9.0.0d1. http://static.kdenews.org/dannya/vol3_3x_large.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 To me putting a Linux GUI on top of OS X takes away from it. If you want KDE or Gnome, use Linux. it is designed for Linux. I think the addition of KDE apps on OS X may cause issues. Just my opinion, but if you want Linux use Linux. Just like many tell Windows and Linux users to quit doing GUI changes to make it look like OSX, just use OS X or OSX86. Not griping, just talking....

Colonel Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 It wouldn't be making the entire gui KDE. Only KDE apps would have the KDE gui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 This is kinda old news to me because I've had and used the Everything package for about a month or so. The Apps are the only KDE part, the file is over a gig and it does install stuff all over the place. It seemed to run ok but I didn't really get to in depth with it because I've always hated kde, but I do use a couple of kde apps in gnome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 A gig? {censored}. I think this may cause instabilities with OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandmanfvrga Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Two gigs? I just don't see the need for this, but some do. *shrugs* I just think it MAY cause issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wow Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 He i didnt noticed it at first, but KDE also comes to windows, not only osx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
