Users today require simplicity and stability, and Whitix’s design, based on a combination of UNIX stability and the user-friendliness of other platforms such as Windows, will ensure each and every desktop user can use a computer without complex configuration or expert knowledge of hardware and software. We see a future where simple and intuitive user interfaces are the norm, not the exception. We envisage an environment that supports an end-user in their day-to-day tasks, from document processing to playing games. It will be as simple and as lightweight as possible.
