Project Camel

A really neat project for a user-friendly interface, not PC-BSD related despite the forum:

hmm, it seems rather intressting, might be a userfriendly interface for use with the TV as well, we'll see how it goes...

z4ziggy · 2005-07-09 13:07:48

nice, but too bad its based on kde/qt.

CyberTron · 2005-07-09 14:32:13

yes it is too bad ...

clank · 2005-07-11 05:48:48

Too bad??? (clank says to himself as he begins to type into konqueror )

sweiss · 2005-07-15 20:18:31

I also wonder what's so bad about Qt.

xerxes2 · 2005-07-15 20:37:38

qt is a corporate developed and owned toolkit, ie gtk is a joint project owned by nobody,

sweiss · 2005-07-15 20:42:32

I thought Qt was GPLed...

xerxes2 · 2005-07-15 20:47:00

qt is gpl

sweiss · 2005-07-15 20:59:11

I fail to see the problem then...

phrakture · 2005-07-15 21:49:35

Qt is also a very odd rendering toolkit, which makes itself platform independant by using it's own drawing routines... the only platform dependancy is the surfaces that Qt draws on... IMHO that's not a very good idea, but hey, people like it

i wonder what's wrong with that. qt runs even w/o X. on my ipaq, my mac, my x86, my dreamcast and even gamecube. it's fast even on the latter ones. unlike gtk2.

What's the problem with QT? Well, QT apps take freaking eternity to load unless you do preloading ala KDE... Which eats up a hell of a lot of RAM.

At least in the US, I have the nobody's power of attorney. Nobody made a fuss. However, nobody lacks any intelligence, and so I easily gained power of attorney.

You'd have the same problem using gtk apps in a qt environment.

Gullible Jones · 2005-07-16 10:08:11

Eh? Last I checked, GTK2 apps load just as fast under KDE (or under Fluxbox and other independent WMs) as under GNOME, unless you're using the GTK-QT theme engine.

That said, I have heard that GTK is designed to load faster, while QT is designed to provide better performance once loaded. Not sure how well that works out...

sweiss · 2005-07-16 21:37:21

In any case, I can't get along with just one toolkit. Both have good applications I use. And well, RAM is there to be used, don't you think?

Gullible Jones · 2005-07-16 23:10:03

Yep, no argument about the RAM.

As for the kamel project, I am all for bringing more people into linux and making the noob transition easier, bringing new users into linux is hard enough, even with tools like Knoppix and apt!
