Reimagining The Desktop

[ Thanks to Adam Williamson for this link. ]

"Linux has been somewhat different in that what the user sees as a desktop isn’t tied that tightly to the underlying operating system and is changeable, often drastically. That said the major desktops in Linux and the FOSS world in general have kept to the same way of presenting and interacting with the desktop as what came before. It didn’t matter if your desktop of choice was KDE, GNOME, XFCE, Enlightenment or any of the others that are available. Fundamentally they all look and work the same way.

"Until now."
