The Moblin V2 User Interface Is Very Impressive

[AdrenalineJunky]

be interested to check it out, and also see where the clutter interface could end up.

Let's see what KDE freetards have to say, "OMG it is so pretty...". Thank god Moblin uses GTK and GNOME programs. This is what happens when company works on a project, you get a software that doesn't suck as much other GNU projects e.g. KDE and actually works and makes you productive.

interesting, "thank god it uses GTK and GNOME.... doesn't suck as much as other GNU projects e.g. KDE"

check the list of GNU packages - you wont find kde - you will find GTK and Gnome.

i'm curious - have you tried kde 4.2 or 3.5? and what distribution did you try kde with?

This really looks impressive!
One question though, how well does it work with 3G (UMTS/HSDPA) modems compared to Ubuntu (which recognizes my UMTS modem out of the box and connects me)?

Man, I would totally buy a netbook just for Moblin if I had the money. That interface looks fantastic. It might even encourage me to keep up with my social networking obligations, which is always good.

It doesn't look very good for productivity, though. I didn't see any concept of workspaces, but if you're just wanting to surf or do some light work (which is what netbooks are best at), way to go Moblin.

The question is, on previous releases, they explicit said that it only worked with SSE3. This release they are saying that works on any computer with intel graphics

SSSE3 is still required; that has not changed.
I'll make sure this will get mentioned on the download page.

It probably need sse3, even if it is not on atom.

[puelocesar]

Hey, they dropped the Atom requiriment, but still fails to boot on my Eee 701, it crashes on login with some "file not founds".. too bad

ps: why the hell these retarded trolls like hax0r have to hijack a nice topic like this trying to create a stupid flame war?

Moblin on HP Mini 1000 Series

Any chance of running moblin on the HP Mini 1000s, or does the lack of Linux support by Intel for their Poulsbo chipsets disqualify my Mini?

[joffe]

I like how it actually supports the NC10. I suppose the Intel graphics aren't broken either (would be kinda embarrassing since Intel backed this for so long). This is definitely going on my NC10 once it is finished.

Don't even try to compare Qt vs GTK . Just don't do it. GTK does its job good, but please avoid comparing a full featured framework to something like GTK.

GTK is a widget toolkit. Gnome provides the entire application framework of which GTK is just one part. Gnome provides application developers with dbus interface, other various forms of IPC, audio frameworks like Gstreamer, Pulseaudio integration, GVFS virtual file system layers, configuration engine, telepathy for messaging services, etc etc. People can program in C, Python, or C# using the 'officially' installed Gnome stuff. They also provide some application suites, browsers, panels, user notification system, etc etc.

This is based on GTK and Gnome. It adds the Clutter interface which is a OpenGL accelerated, Scenegraph-based management system for application widgets as well as integration into network-based services.

This sort of thing kicks ass. It's definately going on my Mini9

It goes to show also that you don't have to rewrite stuff to get it to do cool cool things.
