Linux GUI went into wrong direction.
Linux shouldn't copy pattern of the desktop GUI which has been made colony by Apple & Microsoft two decades ago.
As a business user, I would appreciate if KDE/GNOME could design a portal interface for me to remotely run our daily operations such as email,browser and some officeware tapping from our company's server via internet.
We may use thin client (something like boot ROM,flash chip without Hardisk), keyin "userID", "password", "web domain name" to get access to applications from the back-end server run by Linux Portal Server(LPS).
The Portal Server - Portal Client method will replace the Windows/Mac's GUI methods to retrieve/process the information.
As time goes on, extreme cheap client device/termial can be everywhere running thin portal OS at most public areas such as Airport,Restorant,Shopping center,Railway station, petrol station and etc.
In short, we don't need OS to work, we just need a portal interface.
