Douglas Willett said:Keep applications at a minimum - even less than in R5. Experienced Linux users already have a favorite application for each category. Include a "ReadMe" text, which would include good suggestions for each category and a detailed simple menu for installing them via Synaptic. This would be for Linux newcomers. Finally, maximize drivers, etc that make things - internet connection, printer connection, audio connection, video connection, etc - work essentially right out of the box. R5 is the first install that I ever did that audio worked for every major app (skype, etc) without a lot of searching and messing around. This is one of the reasons I'm using Watt today. Cannot but to agree on this one, the less apps, the better. This post was edited by Le Tian at May 14, 2012 1:46:57 AM PDT

Oh, the wish! list. wattOS apps picked out very nicely. Here are a few suggestions. WM: openbox the best ever, don't change it:) File Manager: definitely is pcmanfm don't change it:) Office: abiword, Yeah no smaller alternative. Audio: Audacious I've used a lot of audio players, the one that worked even when I screwed my alsa configs was DeaDBeef. The one I use and like is Clementine. Video: SMplayer Do not change it to anything, even vcl, which can be buggy on certain hardware) Web: Midori Is good, but do crashes sometimes. I shall be geeky and propose xxxterm, but no way will it be included, so I think Chromium is just the browser that works on linux without major glitches. Moreover, it will support flash after all. I still can't think of a better alternative to web browser but chromium and I've tried almost all browsers, even abaco:) Image viewer: Mirage is the best of them all. It has basic editing features and fast. Messenger: yep, pidgin, no better alternative now. Some tools like Palimpsest would be nice, but not essential.

All applications, that use gtk3 theme use default ugly theme. That concerns update manager and some other apps. It would be nice to have gtk3 work properly by default, using some neat theme. See the screen, please This post was edited by Le Tian at April 6, 2012 4:18:31 AM PDT
