Forking DEs
Posted: Sun Oct 28, 2012 6:56 am
Hi all.
I have been using Mint for about a year now, and I love it, it's amazing and perfect for someone who just wants to get the job done.
I want to know how people fork Desktop Environments on Linux. Do they just modify the source code? What was the process behind the making of Cinnamon?
Also, I am very good in C++, so how hard and educating would it be for me to fork something like KDE?
Thanks in advance.
