Hallo everybody,

I created this picture here [1] and with following captions:

en: "The graphical user interface muss be designed conforming to the characteristics of the peripherals. GNOME Shell is mainly intended for the usage with Keyboard and a Pointing device, like e.g. a Mouse; the usage with a Touchscreen is also possible. In contrast to KDE Plasma Workspaces, there is only one GUI"

I don't know what this means. GNOME and KDE are both Free Software desktop environments for Linux and Linux-like systems.

 

de:"Die Grafische Benutzeroberfläche muss nach den Besonderheiten der Peripheriegeräte gestalteten sein. GNOME Shell ist hauptsächlich für Tastatur und Maus ausgelegt, kann jedoch auch über ein Touchscreen bedient werden. Im Gegensatz zu KDE Plasma Workspaces, gibt es lediglich eine GUI"
ro: "Interfața grafică trebuie să fie modelata conform perifericului. GNOME Shell este modelat pentru tastatură si maus, dar si touchscreen este possibil. In contrast cu KDE Plasma Workspaces, exista numai o interfața grafică.

What do you think?

BTW, I think the GDK [2] could use some better explanation. I created a little diagram after watching Emanuelle Bassi's LCA video, but this does not depict the current situation.

Articles like this, and the one about the "Linux API" [3] tend to be quite wrong and misguided. I'd recommend that you delete these articles rather than cause confusion with wrong information.
