Thanks to this, go to Windows and usability you meet, you go to a Mac OS X and usability you fall i


Your future is now in the hands of a company that wants to remain anonymous for now. Liked the concept and want to continue and improve the system for their own products. I can not name names, but it is a well known company ...
As you know, Pear OS distribution was of French origin univar based on Ubuntu with a slightly musty goal: to mimic Mac OS X appearance and functionality. Thus, compared with elementary OS, which at least has its own air, never generated much interest.
However, the latest release of the distro, Pear OS 8, bet high, integrating a cloud service and rushing to own crowdfunding gets Pear OS 8 Tablet Edition, "a version designed to run on tablets or touch interface devices for both ARM and x86 architectures, with devices like the Microsoft Surface or the Samsung Galaxy, the Google Nexus, etc. "
However, this listing is no longer as no surprise that leaves few doubts in the air. Starting with the name of that "large well known company" univar yel what of what is Pear OS, following what has been to the transaction (sold a free software project?) And ending with current users of the system ... Do they keep support? Pear OS using the Ubuntu repositories, but beyond that almost univar worth changing distribution.
On progress, the question was who had not submitted anything about it (that I know), if they had any progress and was never licensed univar under a GPL or similar, can easily close the code or adapted to be very difficult to use if not with X distro.
For it is a shame because, although copied in style to Mac OS at least it was a usable distro, there was retinal cancer when using it, because that's the big problem with Linux, if everything works well and efficiently but designing truñazo interfaces is 99% of the time.
You're absolutely right, however, is not only lack of altruistic designers. On a forum a few months univar ago I read that several designers made proposals to Libreoffice but none of these was accepted, univar despite being very good and professional, just because their main sponsors are not interested in the graphical appearance and usability. The cometary were the own designer who tired after struggling univar with ego Libreoffice maintainers decided to abandon the project. univar
The Open Source projects in many Aria is for class, and the Aryans are the programmers and engineers, interface designers are like hippies for them they do not deserve any attention and much mistaken Jews.
Thanks to this, go to Windows and usability you meet, you go to a Mac OS X and usability you fall in love, and finally go to any Linux distro and its usability will make you vomit. What good is it to work very well if it's ugly noses and complicated to understand
desktops are not ugly not generalize, applications like Audacious (not so ugly) packages ofimatica (unforgivable), Pidgin (is not that ugly) and the world's largest irony, GIMP that have delayed many years in providing a single window interface ... the problem is that they do not want to leave your GTK 2 version later, but this is necessary
The truth is this. There are people univar like you who understand nothing. Free software is simply respecting the user to choose what they like, it is not a religion and can not take that. Open source gives us tools to collaborate univar in community, doing things getting better, faster and more efficient, faster or slower, it is important work. Closed models make slow innovation, but also have the right to exist. The first freedom is the freedom to choose and the people do not respect that, it has inconsistency in words. Fight for windows or linux or mac os are insufferable and not good for them is removed. That if no one is the devil, nothing is ugly and difficult to understand. If so and makes you puke then I think you should ask yourself take a break from your life and realize that your intelligence has a very short limit of understanding, so do not go beyond your limits established and looking for things that are already made, (VERY LOGIC). Restate your words when you speak, and speak with some technical knowledge that property is not difficult: D ...
Often the problem is another, just the opposite. As Linus Torvalds said more than once, there are too many Linux programmers univar focused on improving desktop environments, appearances, themes, univar small features, seeking to imitate Win & Mac when in fact what is needed is a better development of certain problems Linux brings years. For example, the backward compatibility of applications
