-Ever hear of SolydX or SolydK or the conjoined SolydXK?
+**//Cinnamon Mint
-You can stop scratching your head, these aren’t cereals or high-fiber colon cleansers. The first two are Debian based distributions with Xfce and KDE as desktop choices. At 950 MB and 1.4 GB respectively, these are just slightly larger than the Debian parent that bore them.
+I'm sure you've seen enough complaints from people who don't like the constant fiddling with the user interface for Ubuntu. I won't rehash those arguments. Instead, I will point out that Mint is one of the top Debian distributions, and ask if the reason might be a consistent user interface?
-Still doesn’t ring a bell? Well, they are new (early 2013 or so), and, other than a sparse website at http://solydxk.com, there really isn’t much to indicate they really exist. Perform an online search and you’ll see results highlighting a window tinting company, the actual website, and a couple notes that no such words exist (in that order, I might add).
+Ubuntu could reclaim its place at the top, and satisfy those who want a consistent user interface, by creating a desktop.conf file which would store the user's choice for backdrop, desktop theme, and all the other elements of the look-and-feel which I could adapt to, but I don't want to have to adapt to.
-And what of SolydXK? It’s a teaser that exists in name only at this point. It’s X or K but not XK quite yet, although I see no reason you couldn’t install Xfce and then add KDE or vice versa.
+Come May, 10.04 LTS will be expiring, and I'm planning to go to Cinnamon Mint. I'd rather stay with Ubuntu, but only if they quit forcing a new user interface on me.
-Lack of history aside, I was able to get an .iso image of each for a try in my Virtualbox setup.
+Thomas M. "Toad" Brooks//**
-While the installer is more aesthetically pleasing than Ubuntu’s, some may find it confusing when it comes time to pick the root partition and related format. If that sounds a little out of your league, there is a helpful tutorial at http://solydxk.com/community/tutorials/#software.
+Cinnamon Mint
-Even with the usual Virtualbox bottleneck and slowdowns, installation was not bad at roughly 20 to 30 minutes for either. No updates awaited me, and this I attribute to the Debian underpinnings and the youthfulness of the OS itself (about 3 months old when I got it). Footprints were relatively low at less than 10 GB for either, once installed.
+Je suis sûr que vous avez vu suffisamment de plaintes de gens qui n'aiment pas devoir tripoter constamment l'interface utilisateur d'Ubuntu. Je ne vais pas ressasser ces arguments. À la place, je ferai juste remarquer que Mint est l'une des meilleures distributions Debian et poser la question de savoir si la raison pourrait être une interface utilisateur cohérente ?
-In what has to be a rarity, all my hardware was recognized and I experienced no problems with video, audio, or anything else—since nearly every codec or driver you’d need is already there. If it won’t play or open, chances are your files are woefully outdated.
+Ubuntu pourrait reprendre sa place au sommet et de nouveau satisfaire ceux qui veulent une interface utilisateur cohérente, en créant un fichier desktop.conf qui stockerait les choix de l'utilisateur pour le fond d'écran, le thème de bureau et tous les autres éléments de l'ambiance visuelle auxquels je pourrais m'adapter, mais auxquels je ne veux pas devoir m'adapter.
-As for desktop designs, you get either the very basic Xfce or the somewhat more grandiose KDE. If you didn’t catch the hints, I’m referring to Xfce’s rather bland “here it is, take it or leave it” 2D qualities, or KDE’s “add enough widgets and you’ll never see that desktop again” design issues.
+En mai, arrivera à terme la 10.04 LTS et je prévois d'aller vers Cinnamon Mint. Je préférerai rester avec Ubuntu, mais seulement s'ils cessaient de m'imposer une nouvelle interface utilisateur.
-In base form, both look somewhat alike with similar backgrounds and bottom taskbars. Probably to aid users in identification, there is a big X or K in the titles of each, good thing since they are nearly indistinguishable otherwise. Take a look at the screenshots and you’ll see what I’m referring to.
+Thomas M. « Toad » Brooks
-That’s it folks. Other than the ubiquitous KDE musical ditty upon opening (Xfce has no such announcement), you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference, although KDE aficionados would spot the standard transparent window and widget menu immediately. Taskbars for both are the same layout, too, with the menu to the left and system information parked to the right. As the adage goes, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
-About the only other indicator of one over the other is KDE’s better clarity and brightness. Xfce looked downright dull in comparison, but it is a lightweight desktop design with a minimum of flash.
+**//Full Circle Reader Survey 2013
-Normally, I’d steer users with limited resources to the Xfce platform since it usually performs much faster than the fatter KDE offering; however, that’s not the case here. In fact, it wasn’t really close. KDE was a good 5 seconds faster to boot—even after adding desktop widgets that would normally cause it to crawl. However, I don’t consider Xfce’s average boot time of 30 seconds anything to laugh about, especially given that’s in Virtualbox.
+It's that time of the year again folks. That time where we offer you, the readers, a say in the future of Full Circle.
-Being lightweight usually comes with a price, and that’s often a spartan menu with equally spartan tools, but that isn’t the situation here.
+All we ask is that you fill in as much detail as you can on the survey we've written up at http://goo.gl/hR7zc
-A partial listing is shown in the table bottom right.
+That's it!
-While boot times were definitely different between the two, there was no discernible difference in performance beyond that. Both were equally quick in opening programs and files, saving documents, etc. If nothing else, either version of Solyd was quite fast once booted, even when using Live mode in Virtualbox.
+We'll gather together the data and present our findings in a future issue of Full Circle for all to see.
-About the only bottleneck I encountered was the ever troublesome Software Manager, which resembles the Ubuntu Software Center—minus the branding and Canonical commercial offerings. It frequently did spooky things like flutter in and out during program installation, or just lock up for no good reason. On the other hand, the old standby, Synaptic Package Manager, performed like a champ.
-So, would I recommend either one? All depends upon what you’re after. Those looking for a stable Debian based distribution will be well served here, but being plain can lead to problems.
+Full Circle Needs You!//**
-First, it doesn’t stand out from the crowd. Remove the name and artistic logs and it could be confused with a couple dozen offerings I’ve reviewed over the years. The base programs are just that—base. It has no specialty, such as Peppermint OS and their Cloud-based programming, nor does it appeal to a segment, such as ArtistX or openArtist—two distros with a bevy of programs geared to A/V artists.
+Sondage 2013 auprès des lecteurs du Full Circle
-Second, is it going to survive or become relegated to the dustbin of history? Take a look at Distrowatch, and, once you get past the top 50, you’ll see a few hundred more releases that just never made the popularity polls even though they are quite capable.
+C'est de nouveau la période l'année, chers lecteurs. Le moment où nous vous offrons, à vous les lecteurs, un mot à dire pour l'avenir de Full Circle.
-But there is no faulting the OS itself. It has never failed to work, and I have yet to induce a crash (and believe me, I do try hard). It just needs to be polished a bit more with some excitement added. Mind you, don’t go all Cadillac Cimaron on it, just add some pizzazz (Google that Cadillac, if the name doesn’t ring a bell, and you’ll see what I mean).
+Tout ce que nous demandons, c'est que vous remplissiez avec autant de détails que vous pouvez l'enquête que nous avons rédigée à http://goo.gl/hR7zc
-With all these factors considered I give SolydX and SolydK 3 out of 5 stars.
+C'est tout !
+Nous rassemblerons les données et présenterons à tous les résultats dans un prochain numéro du Full Circle.
+Full Circle a besoin de vous !
