Would you have *all* apps request permission to run initially? Or just those that a few individuals deem undesirable, or all that *anyone* deemed less than what *they* wanted? No, of course not. Just apps that can end up hogging the system's resources like Beagle.
Only it doesn't. Aside from that *fact* I'd agree with you. Run beagle and watch it with system-monitor, when it starts to hog resources let us know. If you are completely strapped for resources on legacy hardware then turn it off - but don't claim it hogs resources because you have insufficient resources.
And would *all* apps appear on the taskbar waiting permission? Why would you even suggest such a thing? Does FrozenBubble have a taskbar icon? Or KPatience? HOW does installing Beagle by default and having it index help the average user who may not even know it's there(other than the fact that it's using resources)? Last time I checked, using Linux and openSUSE was about choice.
What does being about choice have to do with squelching new features and technologies?
Further, like I have also said, I thought that as part of this community, we all have the right to express out opinions on the distro and it's direction.
You do and you are. Every time you say what I do not believe to be true [and in this case some of which are just factually not true such as beagle-hogging-resources] I'm going to use my right and point out that you are wrong.
Too many people have not only made up their minds, but feel that their decisions are more important and that anyone who expresses a dissenting opinion is just wrong.
Nope, I disagree with most of the points in this thread, and think a select few of the points are "just wrong".
S.u.S.E. used to come with KPersonalizer installed and ran on the first login of KDE so that people could choice how much of the desktop effects they wanted. Part of that was probably because of hardware, but it's still a good idea because not everyone is interested in using desktop effects. That one single program is just an example of how you could do things.
But somehow there wasn't enough momentum to keep KPersonalizer included? Maybe that says something about the theory of hyper-customization.
I dunno, maybe my opinion doesn't count.
Whatever, it counts as much as anyone else's. Don't whine because people disagree with you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
