Officially, the BSD mascot doesn't have a name, but some people like to call him Chuck (DON'T call him Chuck, though; it's not his name). If you must give him a name, beastie is generally acceptable. |

1st, I use rox... then again, I also use fluxbox, but that's a different topic altogether.
The main reason that Firefox has such poor integration with KDE is that it builds against GTK, rather than Qt. There is continuing work to make a Qt based edition of Firefox, but it's still considered Beta quality now.
As for the issue with the fonts, I think that has been solved: there has been work to make GTK use the font properties and themes of Qt, and the integration is simple to control in the KDE that ships with Kubuntu. I haven't had enough experience with other editions of KDE lately to tell you if that's the case in general. |

You're missing so many pieces of the puzzle that I almost can't comment, but... here it goes:
In the first place, if you're going to ignore the GNU part, you almost may as well ignore the linux part also. The underlying GNU programs and libraries are a huge part of what makes linux functional. For instance, nearly every app that runs on linux (including the KDE ones) is linked against glibc, and many, many others are linked against (several) other GNU libs. Further, the idea of the 'GNU OS' goes far deeper than you know, and far deeper than I care to delve in this post.
I'm going to pretend that I didn't read the part about the apps being made anyway, because an answer to it would be way too long for this post...
And, finally, the command reference that he listed was for UNIX (POSIX, that is) commands that have nothing (directly) to do with linux, and which are usually provided in linux based operating systems by GNU varients. |
