hey hope you're doing fine, new linux user, basic question, do you know? - simplelinux - 28th February 2018
hey hope you're doing fine
what am i looking for? what is the goal?
im looking for a linux that is used via a 'launcher'
* like you type the main software you use, and it opens
* or the software could auto-open on start
im looking for a linux that has nothing on the desktop (for example, no 'bar at the bottom' like in win10)
nothing on the screen/dekstop expect possibly a 'picture on the desktop'
im looking for a linux that has these reaady
and 'out of the box'
do you know how close maui is to what im looking for?
how much do i know? what kind of user am i?
i dont know linux, i dont understand linux
if you know of what is closet to what im looking for, please let me know
please communicate in a way that i would understand
how i find out about this thing?
i come here from https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/best-distro-2017.html
to sum this up:
* im looking for something that is visually clean (nothing showing but the main softwares that helps you do things)
* im looking for something that has methods of use 1) in alignment and 2) relevant an os that is about clean design (maybe a 'launcher' or something else innovative)
* & that it's ready that any kid can start using it
do you know how close maui is to what im looking for?
or do you know what's the closet thing to what im looking for?

See the Maui Screenshots on the homepage. It ships with a classic desktop with desktop icons a wallpaper and a panel.
Of course you can remove the panel and desktop icons and only use your keyboard to open applications via krunner. (which will appear when starting to type on the desktop or by pressing ALT+F2)
If you need a fullscreen launcher on the desktop you have the option I think to place the kickerdash as widget on the desktop.

Maui, is probably one of the best linux distribution, but it seems that it will be discontinue. So we all look toward others.
