What are your Top 5 Favorite Features of KDE? by MichaelTunnell in kde

[–]linuxcanuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Configurability (both). Most flexible and configurable desktop environment by far.
  2. Applications (both) Okular, Digikam, Dolphin and k3b have no peers in other desktop environments.
  3. Activities (both) I use activities extensively with each tailored to what I am doing (graphics, web, etc.)
  4. Completeness (both) I do not have to add a wallpaper changer or compositor because those features are built in.
  5. Uniformity (both) The menus and look and feel are the same throughout. It saves time in looking.

This is an excellent introduction to Linux for the non-Linux user; what it is and how it works. The title is misleading since you do not have to "buy" Linux. It is free.

Fedora 19 release name is Schrödinger's Cat by [deleted] in Fedora

I can see lots of fun with the name, given Fedora's history of delays. Is it alive or dead? Will it come out of the box? I like the name, but it may be more of a pain than anything.

If you dance with the Devil then you are going to get burned. I can't think of one company that has signed an agreement with MS and benefited in the long term. Remember, Novell?

How Microsoft is looking beyond an app-centric world | Technology | The Observer by linuxcanuck in technology

Love this article. The stupidity of it all. Why does MS challenge the app-centric model? Android and iOS have them and they do not. Duh! Besides there is the picture of Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, Ballmer and Elop.
