computer GUI comparisonsoftware and operating systemsbest GUI ever, who wins?
>>107245368gui is bloat, retvrn to command lines only
>>107245368
>>107245368The 3.x GUI is good for minimal multitasking. 95's taskbar and Start menu were a huge improvement for the broader multitasking you could do with a Pentium and more RAM.
Pre windows 8 is computer GUIanything after is mobile shit for babbyI hate babby shiti hate flat shiti hate woke troon lgtv shiti hate blocky corpo shit
>>107245379Command line is for loonix faggots and trannies.>>107245502And you can't switch to old GUI, not even on linux. Linux claims to be configurable but you can't.
>>107245527unix is based
>>107245368Ever notice that all smartphones follow the 3.x paradigm of throwing icons into groups laid out in a grid?>>107245451The best part of Amiga was most programs supporting ARexx ports, allowing you to call applications from within scripts to do a number of different tasks.>>1072454693.x was the peak for keyboard shortcut navigation. You could access everything via shortcuts. Windows 9x retained most of it. It was all downhill from there. If you were comfortable with shortcuts, multitasking wasn't much of a problem.>>107245457 (winner)I am always torn between that or System 7 as peak GUI. Everyone else in this thread who says otherwise is wrong. The only thing I'd consider changing is using something like IRIX's vector icons just to keep up with monitor resolution creep.
>>107245603>The best part of Amiga was most programs supporting ARexx ports, allowing you to call applications from within scripts to do a number of different tasks.MacOS did that too, AppleScript .
>>107245631ARexx was 1987 and AppleScript was 1993. ARexx ports were also more capable since they were not only widely supported, but Rexx itself was a proper imperative scripting language. AppleScript forced everything into a limited object model using a 'natural' scripting language that was clunky to use. But you're correct that AppleScript could do similar, years after the fact.
>>1072456039x not only retained the shortcuts but added more, especially with the Windows key ones. For instance win+number row to switch directly to that numbered taskbar button in one step instead of derping your way through the alt-tab list. Even lesser known old shortcuts that still make sense in modern Windows like alt+esc to cycle through windows without the alt-tab popup are still present today.The places it's really declined are the "modern" apps from Windows 8 and up. The best you're getting there is slowly tabbing through controls.
old = goodnew = gay
>>107246709this but unironically
>>107246741B-but I was posting unironically.
Linux is gay - it doesn't allow you to use old GUI. Old GUI is incompatible with modern shit in Linux, can't install.
>>107247232That's not true. I'm using a 30 year old WM and GUI toolkit on Devuan 5 and I can even develop new apps with it.
>>107246709this but ironically
>>107247432What will happen if you run new and complex software on it?
>>107247733
>>107247733>What will happen if you run new and complex software on it?Like Firefox and Libre Office? They don't match the Motif look but they do function as expected.
>>107248104So it's not a real GUI system if programs don't look like the OS.All programs should look the same.
>>107245379>command lines onlyWhy should I have to ask and beg some foreign service worker in their demanded language instead of just grabbing what I want?
>>107248397There's no OS that would meet those standards. Some applications have been using custom or non-standard GUI toolkits and layouts since the mid 80s at least.>All programs should look the same.Then you won't have very many programs. I prefer ugly software that works over none at all.
ok
yes
7 = 2000 > vista > 10 = 8.1 > 11 > MacOS > XP > shit > loonix
>>107248397You're using softwware right now that does: >>107248608>Some applications have been using custom or non-standard GUI toolkits and layouts since the mid 80s at least.The difference being it's tailored to look somewhat decent in your shit OS since that's what majority use.
Amiga Workbench was the GOAT
>>107245451>>107245603I was Amiga's were still affordable to buy.
>>107249858>The difference being it's tailored to look somewhat decent in your shit OS since that's what majority use.Not really "tailored", just lazy and conforming to the lowest common denominator (a homosexual MBA with PowerPoint prototypes screaming at H1B coders). If it were anything other than flat design you wouldn't be able to say that.
>>107245368Aqua mogs everyone to this day. Literal UI perfection
>>107245368TempleOS, obviously
>>107250115Yeah, basically what I meant.
>>107250172Tiger/Leopard/Lion were peak, take your pick.
>>107245368The winner isn't a GUI, it's the users who don't focus on trifles like stupid children. Winners don't care about TRIFLES and are utterly insensitive because sensitiviy is weakness. If you use a computer as a tool then artfaggotry doesn't matter, you don't rice or decorate ANYTHING, you don't even have a background image because if you're using the PC you'd not spend time watching it anyway, and you're jaded and indifferent in a manly way. Caring about GUI is purest summerfaggotry. GUI are mere tools to conveniently repeat certain actions. More precise granular control is where the command line comes in, and TBQH if you're proficient you don't really need a GUI. Do any of you kids who fetishize GUI styles actually WORK with your PC as a tool? Gaming is just a way to waste time and doesn't count unless you're working on one for the money.
>>107245527fucking mong kek
>>107245368>>107251235The best GUI is the one you notice the least.
>>107252024tiling wms ftw
>>107245368>*literally has nicer font rendering than troonix in 2k25 in you are way*heh, nothing personnel, kid:^)
>>107245967>The places it's really declined are the "modern" apps from Windows 8 and upYou know what's funny? Every single version of Windows going all the way back to 1.0 allowed you to close programs by double clicking the upper left-hand corner of their window. Metro/Modern/UWP/whatever apps in Windows 8+? Nope, no longer possible for some reason.
>>107248104FF can be fixed with css, no idea about LibreOffice
>>107250805CIA murdered Terry because he made the learn alternative OS. Loonix is controlled opposition.
>>107252976Yeah it's shit. I still use this sometimes when the top right corner of a window is off screen. Also even though they took away the control menu icon you can still get the menu with alt+space -- which is vital for "alt+space, m, arrow, move mouse, click" bullshit for if a window somehow manages to spawn off screen (usually because it was last opened when a monitor was connected that isn't connected now).
>>107252873bitmap fonts blame ebussy and xis metrics
>>107252873Beautiful pixelart icons.Modern OS have blurred and gradient icons, for fags.
>>107251235>just use windows and never change any setting. if you do, then you're a faggot.whatever you say bro.
>>107250805I develop a GUI File Manager for TempleOS as sampleP.S. still under development https://gitgud.io/ZekeRedgrave/ZEKEHC/-/tree/master/Sample/RENZAN%20File%20Manager?ref_type=heads
>>107250919It seemed like future when I first saw it.
