Expectations- the window

 

 

No, the title is not a nostalgic regression to a commercial OS. That'll never happen. Far from it. With the kernel built, and finetuning in place, the next step in my journey is the window, or more accurately, the Window Manager.

Expectations-The OS2 

 

 

 

In any system, the kernel is the beating heart. And it continues to be my view that a computer kernel is a marvel of engineering, and vision.

Expectations-The OS

In the days before we started using computers in the home and studio for writing and recording orchestrally based music, manuscript, or "parchment" was the desktop of the day. Unlike a computer monitor, manuscript didn't need batteries, or power, and if you made a mistake, you used an eraser to perform the modern day equivalent of cut or delete.

Expectations

I started in Linux nearly 2 years ago, after a very clever campaign run by a colleague called Dave Phillips, who eventually wore me down, and left me little choice but to try, my interest piqued.

It seemed a lot to take in that time, and there are still moments where the learning curve is fairly steep.
