Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College,Gaya Ujjwal Kumar Dept Part 2 Ujjwal kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College,Gaya Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya Desktop Environment & Windows Manager GUI Application Shell Daemon Kernel (Linux) Hardware Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya Interface Metaphor : It is a set of user interface visuals, actions and procedures that exploit specific knowledge that users already have of other domains Desktop Metaphor:- It is an interface metaphor which is a set of unifying concepts used by graphical user interfaces to help users interact more easily with the computer In computing, a desktop environment (DE) is an implementation of the desktop metaphor made of a bundle of programs running on top of a computer operating system that share a common graphical user interface (GUI), sometimes described as a graphical shell. Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya A desktop environment typically consists of icons, windows, toolbars, folders, wallpapers and desktop widgets. A GUI might also provide drag and drop functionality and other features that make the desktop metaphor more complete. A desktop environment aims to be an intuitive way for the user to interact with the computer using concepts which are similar to those used when interacting with the physical world, such as buttons and windows. Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya On systems running the X Window System (typically Unix-family systems such as Linux, the BSDs, and formal UNIX distributions), desktop environments are much more dynamic and customizable to meet user needs. In this context, a desktop environment typically consists of several separate components, including a window manager , a file manager , a set of graphical themes, together with toolkits and libraries for managing the desktop. All these individual modules can be exchanged and independently configured to suit users, but most desktop environments provide a default configuration that works with minimal user setup. Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya A window manager is system software that controls the placement and appearance of windows within a windowing system in a graphical user interface Most window managers are designed to help provide a desktop environment. Every graphical user interface based on a windows metaphor has some form of window management. Elements usually associated with window managers allow the user to open, close, minimize, maximize, move, resize, and keep track of running windows, including window decorators. Many window managers also come with various utilities and features: e.g. docks, task bars, program launchers, desktop icons, and wallpaper. Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya Stacking (aka floating) window managers : Provide the traditional desktop metaphor used in commercial operating systems like Windows and OS X. Windows act like pieces of paper on a desk, and can be stacked on top of each other. For eg: ▪ KWin —The standard KDE window manager ▪ Metacity — Used by the legacy GNOME 2 and GNOME and superseded by Mutter. ▪ Mutter — Window and compositing manager for GNOME. ▪ Muffin — Window and compositing manager for Cinnamon, fork of Mutter. It cannot be used outside of Cinnamon. ▪ Xfwm — The Xfce window manager manages the placement of application windows on the screen, provides beautiful window decorations, manages workspaces or virtual desktops and natively supports multiscreen mode. Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya Tiling window managers :- "tile" the windows so that none are overlapping. They usually make very extensive use of key- bindings and have less (or no) reliance on the mouse. Tiling window managers may be manual, offer predefined layouts, or both. ▪ Bspwm — bspwm is a tiling window manager that represents windows as the leaves of a full binary tree. ▪ sway — Sway is a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya Dynamic window managers can dynamically switch between tiling or floating window layout. For available Arch Wiki pages see Category:Dynamic WMs. For eg: dwm — Dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled, monocle and floating layouts. wmii — Small, dynamic window manager for X11. Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya A file manager or file browser is a computer program that provides a user interface to manage files and folders. The most common operations performed on files or groups of files include creating, opening (e.g. viewing, playing, editing or printing), renaming, moving or copying, deleting and searching for files, as well as modifying file attributes, properties and file permissions. Folders and files may be displayed in a hierarchical tree based on their directory structure. Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya Konqueror : It is a powerful and great file manager for KDE desktop, it offers simple file management functionalities such as copying, moving, searching and deleting file plus some advanced features and functionalities Nautilus:- It is a simple and default file manager on GNOME desktop, it offers a user easy navigation and management of files on a Linux system. Nemo File Manager :- It is default file manager on Cinnamon desktop, Linux Mint users must be familiar with it, it is a fork of the more popular GNOME Files. Thunar File Manager :- It is a modern, lightweight file manager for Xfce desktop, designed to be fast, responsive and easy use. Caja :- It is the default file manager for the mate desktop and it enables you to explore directories, preview files and start programs connected with them. Dolphin:- It is a free, open source, lightweight file manager developed as part of KDE applications package. Designed for simplicity, flexibility and full customization, it allows users to browse, locate, open, copy and move files around a Linux system with a lot of ease. Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya The desktop environment is usually the core of your Linux desktop system for how it looks/feels. If you don’t get a good user experience, it will be difficult to use a Linux distro on your desktop. Linux offers far more than one desktop environment. Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya GNOME ( GNU Network Object Model Environment) KDE (K Desktop Environment) UNITY MATE CINNAMON XFCE Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya It is a free and open-source desktop environment for Unix- like operating systems. GNOME is part of the GNU Project and developed by The GNOME Project which is composed of both volunteers and paid contributors, the largest corporate contributor being Red Hat GNOME is currently the most popular Linux desktop environment. Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya The GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment) has been redesigned with the most recent GNOME 3.x and is a wide departure from the traditional GNOME 2.x desktop. The newly released GNOME 3.x with its GNOME Shell user interface is a drastic change from the “classic” GNOME 2.x shell. While the GNOME 3.x shell is fairly intuitive, for someone who is accustomed to GNOME 2.x, or any other desktop environment for that matter, there will be a considerable amount of adjustment. In the GNOME 3.x shell, there is only one panel located at the top of the desktop, and there is no longer a traditional menu. Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya To open programs, users can either press the Windows key, or they can click on “Activities” found on the left side of the panel. This gives the options of a program launcher that appears on the left side of the desktop, an “Applications” option found on the upper left part of the desktop (which is the closest thing to a menu), or they can search for programs using the search box on the upper right of the desktop. Overall, the GNOME 3.x shell is a very simple, clean, and visually pleasing desktop. Debian, and Fedora are major distros which use some form of GNOME in their main edition Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya Following are a few applications and components of GNOME: ▪ Window Manager: Mutter (GNOME 3.x shell) ▪ File Manager: Nautilus ▪ Office Suite: GNOME Office (which includes AbiWord and Gnumeric) ▪ Music Player: Rhythmbox ▪ Video Player:Totem ▪ CD/DVD Burner: Brasero ▪ Games: GnomeGames ▪ Widget Toolkit: GTK+ (GTK is a free and open-source cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces.) Recommended System Requirements for the GNOME 3.x shell in its default mode : Required RAM 768 MB, Required CPU 400 MHz Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya KDE stands for K Desktop Environment. It is a desktop environment for Linux based operation system. You can think KDE as a GUI for Linux OS. KDE has proved Linux users to make it use as easy as they use windows. KDE is an international free software community developing Free and Open Source software. As a central development hub, it provides tools and resources that allow collaborative work on this kind of software. Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya KDE is arguably the most powerful, versatile, smoothly integrated, and visually pleasing of all the Linux desktops and has more point-and-click customization options and “eye candy” than any of the various GNOMEs, Xfce, LXDE or any other Linux desktop. With its Plasma Workspaces, users can easily add a variety of widgets to the desktop. While KDE is the most polished in appearance when compared to other Linux desktops, it can be quite resource-hungry with its many desktop effects. However, when the desktop effects are turned off, KDE is fairly energy efficient. Ujjwal Kumar Dept. of IT Gaya College, Gaya Typically, KDE requires less CPU resources than Ubuntu’s Unity and less RAM than the GNOME 3.x shell.

  • UKUI: a Lightweight Desktop Environment Based on Pluggable
    2016 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science (AICS 2016) ISBN: 978-1-60595-411-0 UKUI: A Lightweight Desktop Environment Based on Pluggable Framework for Linux Distribution Jie YU1, Lu SI1,*, Jun MA1, Lei LUO1, Xiao-dong LIU1, Ya-ting KUANG2, Huan PENG2, Rui LI1, Jin-zhu KONG2 and Qing-bo WU1 1College of Computer, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China 2Tianjin KYLIN Information Technology Co., Ltd, Tianjin, China *[email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: Desktop environment, Ubuntu, User interface. Abstract. Ubuntu is an operating system with Linux kernel based on Debian and distributed as free and open-source software. It uses Unity as its default desktop environment, which results in more difficulties of usage for Microsoft Windows users. In this paper, we present a lightweight desktop environment named UKUI based on UbuntuKylin, the official Chinese version of Ubuntu, for Linux distribution. It is designed as a pluggable framework and provides better user experience during human-computer interaction. In order to evaluate the performance of UKUI, a set of testing bench suits were performed on a personal computer. Overall, the results showed that UKUI has better performance compared with Unity. Introduction Linux is a freely available operating system (OS) originated by Linux Torvalds and further developed by thousands of others. Typically, Linux is packaged in a form known as a Linux distribution for both desktop and server use. Some of the most popular mainstream Linux distributions are Red Hat [1], Ubuntu [2], Arch [3], openSUSY [4], Gentoo [5], etc. There are several desktop environments available for nowadays modern Linux distributions, such as XFCE [6], GNOME [7], KDE [8] and LXDE [9].

  • Part II, Window Managers and Desktop Environments
    Part II Window Managers and Desktop Environments The window manager is responsible for managing application windows and application- independent behavior, such as pop-up menus appearing in the background. The window manager manages the placement, borders, and decorations of all windows, and is responsible for the look and feel of your particular X session. Desktop environments typically include an integrated window manager, some sort of control panel, applications, and a consistent look and feel across applications. The chapters in Part II, Window Managers and Desktop Environments, are: Overview This chapter provides a conceptual introduction to window managers and desktop environments and briefly surveys some of the many window managers and desktop environments available for Linux. FVWM FVWM is a traditional window manager for Linux systems. It is now into its second major version, FVWM2. Window Maker Window Maker is an elegant X11 window manager designed to give integration support to GNUstep-based applications. It emulates the look and feel of OpenStep, the NeXTSTEP GUI. Enlightenment Enlightenment, often shortened to just E, may be the most elaborate and bizarre window manager available. Enlightenment’s motto, “time to rethink everything,” provides a good indication of the uniqueness and flashiness behind Enlightenment. Using GNOME GNOME, which stands for GNU Network Object Model Environment, is a freely available desktop environment that can be used with any of several window managers, including Enlightenment and Sawfish. Using KDE KDE, the K Desktop Environment, is another freely available desktop environment. KDE includes an assortment of games and utilities, as well as an integrated suite of office productivity applications..

  • Easy Slackware
    1 Создание легкой системы на базе Slackware I - Введение Slackware пользуется заслуженной популярностью как классический linux дистрибутив, и поговорка "кто знает Red Hat тот знает только Red Hat, кто знает Slackware тот знает linux" несмотря на явный снобизм поклонников "бога Патре­ га" все же имеет под собой основания. Одним из преимуществ Slackware является возможность простого создания на ее основе практически любой системы, в том числе быстрой и легкой десктопной, о чем далее и пойдет речь. Есть дис­ трибутивы, клоны Slackware, созданные именно с этой целью, типа Аbsolute, но все же лучше создавать систему под себя, с максимальным учетом именно своих потребностей, и Slackware пожалуй как никакой другой дистрибутив подходит именно для этой цели. Легкость и быстрота системы определяется выбором WM (DM) , набором программ и оптимизацией программ и системы в целом. Первое исключает KDE, Gnome, даже новые версии XFCЕ, остается разве что LXDE, но набор программ в нем совершенно не устраивает. Оптимизация наиболее часто используемых про­ грамм и нескольких базовых системных пакетов осуществляется их сборкой из сорцов компилятором, оптимизированным именно под Ваш комп, причем каж­ дая программа конфигурируется исходя из Ваших потребностей к ее возможно­ стям. Оптимизация системы в целом осуществляется ее настройкой согласно спе­ цифическим требованиям к десктопу. Такой подход был выбран по банальной причине, возиться с gentoo нет ни­ какого желания, комп все таки создан для того чтобы им пользоваться, а не для компиляции программ, в тоже время у каждого есть минимальный набор из не­ большого количества наиболее часто используемых программ, на которые стоит потратить некоторое, не такое уж большое, время, чтобы довести их до ума. Кро­ ме того, такой подход позволяет иметь самые свежие версии наиболее часто ис­ пользуемых программ.

  • The GNOME Desktop Environment
    The GNOME desktop environment Miguel de Icaza ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Elliot Lee ([email protected]) Federico Mena ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Tom Tromey ([email protected]) April 27, 1998 Abstract We present an overview of the free GNU Network Object Model Environment (GNOME). GNOME is a suite of X11 GUI applications that provides joy to users and hackers alike. It has been designed for extensibility and automation by using CORBA and scripting languages throughout the code. GNOME is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL and the GNU LGPL and has been developed on the Internet by a loosely-coupled team of programmers. 1 Motivation Free operating systems1 are excellent at providing server-class services, and so are often the ideal choice for a server machine. However, the lack of a consistent user interface and of consumer-targeted applications has prevented free operating systems from reaching the vast majority of users — the desktop users. As such, the benefits of free software have only been enjoyed by the technically savvy computer user community. Most users are still locked into proprietary solutions for their desktop environments. By using GNOME, free operating systems will have a complete, user-friendly desktop which will provide users with powerful and easy-to-use graphical applications. Many people have suggested that the cause for the lack of free user-oriented appli- cations is that these do not provide enough excitement to hackers, as opposed to system- level programming. Since most of the GNOME code had to be written by hackers, we kept them happy: the magic recipe here is to design GNOME around an adrenaline response by trying to use exciting models and ideas in the applications.

  • Beyond the Desktop: a New Look at the Pad Metaphor for Information Organization
    Beyond the Desktop: A new look at the Pad metaphor for Information Organization By Isaac Fehr Abstract Digital User interface design is currently dominated by the windows metaphor. However, alternatives for this metaphor, as the core of large user interfaces have been proposed in the history of Human-computer interaction and thoroughly explored. One of these is the Pad metaphor, which has spawned many examples such as Pad++. While the the Pad metaphor, implemented as zoomable user interfaces, has shown some serious drawbacks as the basis for an operating system, and limited success outside of image-based environments, literature has pointed to an opportunity for innovation in other domains. In this study, we apply the the design and interactions of a ZUI to Wikipedia, a platform consisting mostly of lengthy, linear, hypertext-based documents. We utilize a human centered design approach, and create an alternative, ZUI-based interface for Wikipedia, and observe the use by real users using mixed methods. These methods include qualitative user research, as well as a novel paradigm used to measure a user’s comprehension of the structure of a document. We validate some assumptions about the strengths of ZUIs in a new domain, and look forward to future research questions and methods. Introduction and Background Windows-based user interfaces have dominated the market of multipurpose, screen-based computers since the introduction of the first windowed system in the Stanford oN-Line System (NLS)[3]. From Desktop computers to smartphones, most popular operating systems are based upon at least the window and icon aspects of the WIMP (Window, Icon, Menu, Pointer) paradigm.
