[...] Maybe if the X11 world offered a user interface that didn't feel like it was written by bonobos on LSD, I'd use it full time.
OMG, i've read so much funny stuff on this thread.
I'd even be willing to put up with driver hell if the UI weren't just so horrid.
I don't which kind of computer do you guys have, but I bought this laptop about 3 years ago with intel components, installed arch linux and there weren't any "driver hell". Everything worked out-of-the-box. End-user friendly distros like linux mint or ubuntu configures everything automagically (which I don't like for myself, but it's okay for most people) so I feel like we are speaking about "linuxes" around the 2000's.
I mean, I'm not fond of Apple Mail but it's way more usable than Linux offerings.... But in the meantime, I need it to be around and I want it to be conveniently available, without being in my way. XQuartz serves the purpose.
I don't understand how is that x11 could have a user interface =/. Isn't X11 just the window system? Regards, -- Pablo Olmos de Aguilera Corradini - @PaBLoX http://www.glatelier.org/ http://about.me/pablox/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/pablooda/ Linux User: #456971 - http://counter.li.org/
