I have transformed elementary OS into a ChromeOS style system by adding web apps to it through the Google Chrome browser. No need to to worry about Linux support and I can run apps both offline and...
It depends. Some flatpak packages are broken or don't run well; install deb. A close to immutable system is the ideal state. Notice I didn't say immutable because in real life compromises will always...
The successor of GNOME 2.0 is MATE. Certain things are never going to come back again because the old code is no longer being maintained. You can install an old GNOME desktop as is as long as you're...
Does your remaster have a right click desktop? And what is your aim in your Luna based distro?
On Linux and Mac OSX, the only thing you need to do is set up the firewall.
There is no need to run AV since viruses and trojans are seldom written for these operating systems.
eos Luna IS based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. All the repositories are the same; the only difference here is the desktop environment.
Its fully 100% compatible with mainstream Ubuntu and third party...
Ronnie, you could remove catfish if you modify your distro to make SpaceFM the default file manager - its light and has a built-in search feature. Or upgrade to PCManFM 1.10 which also has it but...
Old threads never die! :P
A plugin could be written for the Switchboard to make the desktop fully right click but since that is not in the cards, replacing Pantheon Files with Nautilus will work. I can understand having a...
I do wish your project the best.
But I do think reviewers want to see something that they can compare against current distros.
Keep us updated on your progress!
The Linux Mint developers have rejected where GNOME is going. That's not the direction they and their users want. Cinnamon is already developing as a desktop environment in its own right and as time...
You can get a rolling release on 12.04 LTS by activating the backports. Updates from Quantal will be ported to work with Precise.
I'd like to see Ubuntu become a rolling release distro.
Looks like its not even a beta.
A complete desktop environment is needed for testing.
Without it, its just desktop vaporware.
You'll need to get the Broadcom STA driver to activate wireless. If you can get to an Ethernet connection, download and install the driver and then reboot - the next time you reach the desktop you...
Uninstall Pantheon Files, install Nautilus. You may need to use Dconf to set up Nautilus to handle the desktop, put icons on it and make it fully right click. Log out and log in again to set the...
Best implementation of Mac OSX on Linux.
Downside is the Pantheon Files Manager is still crippled and the desktop is frozen solid. Plan on dumping it for Nautilus Files Manager since that's the...
The Lubuntu boot splash screen is there but doesn't show up on the live session. It IS present after installation to the hard drive. Some things don't show up perfectly in live session testing but...
The only thing I don't like is currently there is no ability to use different themes and windows controls in each of the four desktop environments. For example, you can't use an XP theme in the...
If you install LXLE Paradigm, you can login to the GNOME 2 Paradigm environment and set up something reasonably close to MATE. Since its Lubuntu, it won't take up much in the way of resources and on...
I installed it last night and the Unity interface is amazing!
It looks better with Faenza icons. Since the panel launcher doesn't scroll, you do have to reduce the default icon size to fit...
You can run it as a live version. If you decide later you want to install it to your hard disk, click the installer and follow the prompts.
As I mentioned, there is no official Ubuntu MATE spin but an unofficial remaster available on Sourceforge has been built using the stock Ubuntu build but using the MATE desktop instead as I already...
The latest version of Ubuntu supports Poulsbo OOTB. Poulsbo has had spotty support over the years. I have no problem booting up Linux Mint 15 on my Dell Mini 10.
Are you trying to produce another Ubuntu remaster of MATE? If not, then the Ubuntu Remix you downloaded should serve your needs.
