Lol. Mono apps are even slow on PC. I can only imagine how slow they are on Arm.

I guess someone is bound to ask the obvious, might as well be me. If the EFL frontend is basically offering the same functionality but addng support running well on platforms without 3D support. What is the argument for continuing developing and deploying the clutter based frontend. The developer makes them sound similar and that in return sounds like maintaining twice the amount of code for the same job.

Great jobs guys! This will be so useful and cool for folks with Arm based devices. I can’t wait to run this.

@David Nielsen: It’s a good question as you also can use a GLES 2.0 backend with EFL if it proves to be faster on your target than the incredibly fast software backend. Anyhow, using EFL for this was certainly a wise technical decision.

This is great news !
I’m very excited by Ubuntu on ARM. Of course, I would like ARM-based thin-client to be fully supported officially by LTSP-Cluster.
This will make Green IT using Ubuntu a reality ! In an ideal world, POe thin-clients would be great as well and I’m sure that this is doable using the ARM platform…

Thanks for the links!
Any ideas why Jamie’s blog isn’t syndicated on Planet Ubuntu?

I just tested netbook-launcher-efl on my Lucid LTSP terminal – works great!! This UI design has the potential to be incredibly intuitive for youngsters, not just netbooks. I can see it really taking off in LTSP school deployments.
