Linux DEs suck ass
November 6, 2005Now, I’m not quite happy with KDE and GNOME, or Linux DEs in particular. They are one big collection of loose ends, rough edges and sharp corners. They don’t feel coherent.
Just a few moments ago, I encountered the prime example of why DEs suck on Linux (this video was shot in KDE, but it applies to any other DE; it’s just that I’m in a KDE period right now).
Why is this a prime example? Well, KDE did not give me *any* feedback as to why I couldn’t enter the advanced permissions dialog. I fcuking hate that. Of course I could run Konqi from the terminal and watch the output as I click, or enter debug-land, and then file a bug report; but it’s simply not worth the trouble– if I were to list every loose end, every rough edge, every sharp corner, I wouldn’t have a life left to live.
Oh and to you fcukers saying I’m not allowed to complain because it’s free software– FCUK YOU. If people are allowed to bitch and moan like whores about my so-called GNOME/Windows/OSX/whatever bias, then sure in HELL I am allowed to complain about this when I want to.
PS: the video was shot using my new 5.0 mp, 3x optical zoom, SD-based Pentax Optio 50 digital camera I just bought today for €199,-.
I see your problem. You need to click thirty-one times and I only counted 29.

Heh, your video crashed my Neuros 442 multimedia device. :)
