Interesting for sure, I never would have thought you could build an entire desktop with JavaScript. Getting support for regular Linux apps would be a must for me
Would this allow for users to customize their desktop with their own JavaScript? Not sure if I missed it, but does it handle multiple monitors?
Personally, I think it’s hideous and unintuitive. BUT I do love seeing alternative DEs, especially since I can only imagine how hard they are to develop (I’m a backend guy…). Props to the team, even if it’s an eyesore to me…
App drawers is an interesting idea. Sort of like yakuake, but generalized. I wonder if others will implement something like that.
One, how does this differ from a GNOME or XFCE (or KDE) rice?
Two… JavaScript???
I’m not a coder but uh… Is that a good idea?
I haven’t really dived down the customization rabbit hole for linux yet, but I’ve been poking around, and after seeing stuff like this tons of the stuff that was on UNIXporn, it makes me want to seriously try out some of the other DE’s that are out there.
This kind of reminds me of the look and feel of Windows 8. I’m definitely interested to see where this goes.
OOOO, it looks gorgeous! I wonder if the sidebars will be customizable in appearance (colors, icons, etc), too. I’m really excited for how this turns out!
It looks real slick, but there is one note-worthy bit:
- Does Kera Desktop only support web apps?
For now, yes. Support for Linux apps is perfectly possible and on the roadmap. For other platforms, we will see what’s possible.
I’m not a fan of web-apps generally, but the transparency sure is pretty! @o@
- Does Kera Desktop only support web apps?
looks interesting, i might keep an eye on it
