The Linux Desktop Approach: So Linux, X, KDE, GNOME? Time to move on!!!

So what do you think…

Linux - a new approach for a driver system like Winows needed?

X - a faster development of Mac OS X-like features and those cool graphic effects? (actually those already showed some cool new things)

KDE and GNOME – who is coming up with what? KDE 4 is supposed to come and come but not this year, I’m pretty sure. GNOME 3? Sometime? The GNOME guys are showing us stuff like the beagle search and a more optimzed desktop in things like configuration (kcontrol is a killer for some people, for me it is).

The next step in the Desktop approach is the new world… a new way of desktop using including all those new things appearing around the world, after Mac OS X Windows will join with Vista and will bring up some standard things but probably won’t come with cool stuff like beagle. Thats the point were Linux could be – but will it be there and how long will it take Linux to get there? At the moment all the diffrent KDE projects popping up showing us ideas for KDE 4 but there is no big roadmap for the KDE 4 wins the desktop approach!

A new Linux driver system (that would allow binary drivers too) and a new KDE or GNOME desktop with cool new improved and very easy ways to use a computer including cool ways with X would bring a big change in the world. An easy way to install Linux drivers and closed driver support would bring more user and then with a new approach to use a desktop would get users like Firefox was able to get so many people!

But who is going to do those changes for Linux? For the desktop/KDE/GNOME world? Who makes the plan and who has a strong voice? Which team can set up the ultimate goals for the real Linux Desktop Approach? That is the key question for Linuxs Desktop success!
