Useful even if not pretty.
It could easily be both — that’s the cactch. With NO extra work.
About ‘discussions’ — I can’t discuss with Hawking and Einstein about a universe nor I can discuss with anticapitalista on scripting.
Sometimes is maybe better not to try to discuss on some topics … hope you understand what I wanted to say.
I think there is work involved. Since style is a matter of opinion it won’t be well received by everyone if the devs decide on the style and say take it or leave it. I am all for a nice look as long as it doesn’t bog down the system or make it impossible to fit on a DVD, etc. I would rather sacrifice style for function. But if the devs can give us the tools to “add” the style we personally prefer than that is good. I maintain that antiX is not targeted at newbies and users who mostly care about style. But if a user has the power in their machine to add lots of fluff than go for it! But leave the base system to be lean and mean.
Maybe we can have a selection of choices at install time? Select your wallpaper from the following, select your icon set from these, etc. Or select your “theme” now while we install. You can change it later if you find your initial selection is not suitable. I don’t know. I think we have that already. But I’m not afraid of “plain” or “text” or any other newbie scarey ideas. If someone is so afraid that their OS is not pretty than I think they are not well suited to Linux in general. Maybe MacOS would be better for them.
On “discussion”, maybe I understand. It may be a language thing. Maybe you were saying such a discussion is beyond you or you are unworthy of the topic and not being dogmatic.
