Ubuntu gets a make over - Off-topic

For all you Ubuntu fans -- Ubuntu has gotten a make over, it looks great, but there are some things I'm not too impressed with; one is the window buttons and how they're on the opposite side (Looks "Macish").
Here's a preview::
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Go to the website below to see their new Logo, Desktop (new theme as well), and Boot Screen, among other things.

Hmmmm, not bad.

Looks good. I don't like the buttons on that side either.

looks a lot like a mac

Protip guys:
OSX is based off of Unix... So, yeah, maybe OSX looks like Linux instead.

It's VERY easy to change the side of the buttons, do not let something so small deter you. Remember that damn near everything in Linux is customizable.

Actually you can do that with Wine:
WineHQ - Run Windows applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and Mac OS X

I'm rather liking he Mac esq GUI

Trinity with Linux

Hi all,
Does anybody know if it´s possible to run a linux distro in htc p3600? What distro?
Thx in advance
have a look here

Linux
Thank You so much Computman.
these releases really sucks !!! it's for linux purists that just claims everydays "i dont like windows", if they don't likewindows they must take an iPhone and crack it.
for sure windows isn't a very good thing, but it works. these linux releases aren't usables !
you're right simkard.windows works
i like Linux very much. At home, my pc is configured with a dual boot for Linux ubuntu 7.10 and Win XP pro SP2.
But you have to know one thing: i installed XP only to play games which haven't be ported under Linux.
Linux is more stable, more friendly and it use your resources better than windows do.
Have a look on Ubuntu and its 3d desktop . It's really beautiful and works very well with standard graphic cards.

For me, Linux is rich through its community and will never stop growing. Possibilities are infinite.
It's why i prefer Linux OS than Windows. It's easy less, but passioning...
So, it'd really like to see a linux gpe ported to my HTC P3600 with air-crack implementation LoL
hello...
this is intersting me too!!!
we have something new?

FreeStylWM

I came across this app earlier today and it seems like it has future potential. The only fault I see is that it doesnt have landscape support but its something to play with. Gives me something to mess with until Open Touch 4.0 comes out. lol Its nothing out of this world but figured I'd share. See some screen shots below.

Trying to transfer iPhone UI is imo a fail. Much better are interfaces like mobile shell which come with their own ideas.
Check out the istyle - do a forum search, much better imho, which rearrange the today screen rather than replace it.
imho ..? oh well..
I'd rather have Open Touch V4.0 than the iPhone to be honest. Tho the iPhone is a revolution in the digital worlds, it's nothing more then a simple theme because it uses MAC OS X 10 or something.
I'd rather have my HTC

I agree its mainly something to show off if anything. I played with it for a little bit but I still prefer HTC home that comes with open touch.

Android Seven

I haven't seen anyone else post anything about this so I thought I would. I installed the Lite version on my GTab and it rocks! It's limited (hence the "lite") but it acts similar to a desktop. Check it out HERE.

Your link actually when to the VISTA app not Seven?
here is the correct link to Seven
https://slideme.org/en/application/android-seven-lite
My bad. Good lookin' out.
funny thing is I downloaded it on my hero and did a Titanium backup of it to move it to my gtab and the packaged files all referenced Android Vista? lol
Wait what?!??!
I can suppose that it is just an imitation of windows running over android; or does it counts as a windows distribution??
Srry for my ignorance but having windows in my tab, at least for 1 day, would make my tab to have internet at school.

It's not actual Windows. Just an interface setup to ACT like Windows. It's actually pretty sweet. Might invest in the Pro version some day.
does it override other launder such as ADW? If I don't like it, can I just simply uninstall it and back to ADW? just wanted to double check before installing.. I probably do a backup first..
I've tried it and its just an app, not even a home option as far as I can tell. Its interesting but not really sure I can say more then that. Once you exit, it goes back to your default desktop

With all the news about the Ubuntu Edge and Canonical's plans for Ubuntu Touch to be the future of convergent computing, you may have forgotten that Canonical is still working on Ubuntu for Android. Ubuntu for Android is essentially the same idea as Ubuntu Touch, where you get a full Ubuntu desktop environment when you dock a mobile device, but with the difference that the handset runs Android, not Ubuntu Touch.
Canonical engineer Victor Palau is showing off Ubuntu for Android running through a Nexus 4, which is hooked up to an external monitor via a Slimport HDMI cable. As you can see in the video, it does give access to full Ubuntu, complete with workspaces, and the Ubuntu Software Centre. But, as you can also see, the Nexus 4 struggles with the system. Windows stutter when moving, and overall performance is slow.
This could very well be partially due to the system not being optimized properly for the hardware in a Nexus 4, but part of it could simply be that the Nexus 4 isn't powerful enough. The Ubuntu Edge is planned to have the "fastest available" processor and "at least 4GB of RAM", while the Nexus 4 has a year old Snapdragon S4 Pro and just 2GB of RAM. Now we can see that "convergence hump" that Mark Shuttleworth talked about yesterday.

OMG YES YES YES!!!
Was waiting to see if it was still alive - imagine the possibilities! I love android too much to blow it off my device.

Why I switched from Windows to Ubuntu

In the organization where I worked previously, I was managing the operations for a couple of Practices. One of them was Microsoft Practice. This gave me access to licensed software from Microsoft. From the OS to MS Office, we were entirely on Microsoft products. After working there for over a decade, I joined another organization where we were more into Android Programming and Open Source code. This required a change of the OS. Not that it was mandatory, but I thought it was good to make a complete change. This was not my first exposure to Linux. Two decades back, I was a big fan of Mandrake Linux. This time I choose Ubuntu.
In my view, there are some straight cut differences between Windows and Linux
The Windows UI is clean and beautiful to look at. The range of compatible software is massive, and almost all hardware works with the correct drivers.
This cannot be said about Linux OS's. The UI in most cases looks incomplete, not everything works, and every time you buy any hardware component you have to specifically ask the vendor if it would work with your version of the OS. Also, the command line is a constant companion, and occasionally you have to check the net for commands to execute some mundane task. The Linux OS's have come a long way from the early days, and most devices can simply plug and play. Most of the essentials, like Docker or the Jekyll site that I need for my work, works perfectly in the Ubuntu system. I have been using Ubuntu for the last 4 years now and have the same version on a PC and Laptop that I own.
Will I ever switch back to Windows ?
Hmm, I do not think so. It works for me, and I am a perfectly satisfied customer.
This is my story. Do you have a story of why you switched your OS ?
