Found this video interesting and wonder if there are any alternatives within Linux systems

First video has a nice edited summary of the history of guis.

But if the author had anything to say about guis other than it could be different, he would have said it. -Or at least suggested it to keep interest. The next video it’s a summary of every YouTube short he’s watched on philosophy and physics.

It’s not relevant to Linux at all.

It’s relevant to linux in I think the average linux user is more open to consider alternative interfaces than a windows user.

Video is more than just a history, I thought it was eye opening for considering what could be an alternative. I also don’t know but find the question interesting.

It would be interesting if he actually presented an alternative instead of 45 minutes (3 videos so far) of, “What if there was an alternative?”

The video doesn’t even talk about Linux. It’s Xerox Parc, Ted Nelson, Apple Macintosh, and Windows.

That would certainly be more interesting. Sorry you don’t find it relevant…

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
