Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 39 of 194 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Peter Gordon on 08-Nov-2001 08:32 GMT | In reply to Comment 28 (NM): I tried SuSE Linux (forget the version) about a Month ago (it was brand new then). It came with KDE and Gnome. As a desktop OS, it was dreadful. Far too overcomplicated (that is NOT to say I didn't understand it, but it WAS more complicated than is necessary). If I wanted to set an option, it could be in any one of around 8 different configuration editors, none of which were named anything that gave a clue to their function.
The whole thing seemed like a cobbled together mess. It really is not ready for the general desktop market.
This is one of the reasons I like AmigaOS so much. Files are kept in fairly logical places, the preferences programs are named after what they do, it doesn't baby you through everything (like MacOS), and it is not overcomplicated. A very nice balance indeed.
THIS is what I'm looking forward to in OS4; a continuation of these principles. |
