[AMIGASYSTEM]

why linux is so complicated? with Windows or Amiga/AROS it would have been so easy to do these things :'(

Because you are unfamiliar with Linux 

I'm also not very familiar with it so whenever i want something that isn't obvious i do some research on the forums of the Linux distribution that i use (debian based) and if that does not provide me with a (satisfactory) answer i try to search for it on the basic linux distro on which my linux distribution is based on.

Small steps my dear Watson. Rome wasn't build in a day either 

Glad to hear you got your shortcut menu item working and thank you for your illustration video's/pictures

Well over 35 years of being on Computers actively have taught me something, in the end all OSs are the same, you just have to know the rules.

Thanks to Amiga experience I have managed hundreds of PCs both locally and on the Net, never having used Windows before.

I never liked Linux because it has too many rules, unlike Amiga and Windows where everything is more logical and intuitive.

In the end I came up with a script by mixing a .sh file with a .desktop file, also I help myself on the Web but not knowing English well I have to interpret the messages .

Anyway I recommend EasyPeasy to everyone because it is the closest to the Amiga/Wndows philosophy

Honestly i would not recommend EasyPeasy, if only for safety reasons. If it is about the "looks" then that can be applied to any distribution. Hence why i asked what applauncher is being used so that you can install that on other distributions as well.


Speaking of looks, see amiwm -> http://www.lysator.liu.se/~marcus/amiwm.html

EasyPeasy I was recommending it for those who want to test AROS Hosted, it installs in a few minutes, small, is simple for those who don't know Linux and it resembles albeit distantly the Workbench

I'll try amiwm, but I don't love the old Amiga OS style anymore, I'm not a fetishist , after so many years I prefer something more graphically beautiful, maybe I'll make it an AfA One or Aros One style theme

Do you know what the word SUDO means in Italian ? it means Sweat

Note that it is a so called windows manager. You can replace your existing one, just as you can replace any other windows manager of any distribution to use whatever Wm you wish

I did not know that. That is funny 

In English it means this

Two is better than one

In the MainMenu of EasyPeasy I also included AROS One Games, I would say very fast

I do admit that it looks very appealing AMIGASYSTEM.


Again, please try to figure out the exact name of your DE/app-launcher.


Naming it a generic/standard app-launcher does not fit the bill to be able to install it for another distribution :-)

Thank you

App-Launcer is a function of "Main Menu" you just need to install "Main Menu"

Main Menu first asks you to create a folder (Main Menu), then inside it allows you to create and configure App-Launcers

That sounds like a useful application to launch small programs. Is it for Linux or is it available for AROS as well ?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

No it is only for Linux, if the sources exist someone could compile it.

On AROS there are BoingIconBar and AmiStart that I can run anything !
