Isn't Linux Mint more like Windows 7 than Vista? I mean it does the whole "automatically make window half the size of the screen when window is dragged to the edge of the screen" thing

So who was the goon working on that desktop version of android for tiny rasberry pi PCs? http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/01/remix-os-a-multi-tasking-windowed-android-os-can-now-run-on-your-pc/ http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/12/android-on-the-desktop-not-really-good-but-better-than-youd-think/2/  A company called "Jide" has forked Android and built a customized variant designed to handle the desktop use case: Remix OS. This spin on Android 5.1 takes the OS and turns it into a windowed desktop operating system. Apps that used to be full screen monsters now live in small, draggable, resizeable windows. There's a desktop full of app icons, a bottom task bar, a right-click menu, a system tray, and even an analog to the Windows Start Menu. Somehow, it seems Remix OS is able to pass Google's Android compatibility tests—Google Play and all the other Google apps come packed-in. Apps live in windows, which all get title bars with Windows-style "Minimize," "Maximize," and "Close" buttons on the right-hand side, while the left side of a title bar gets Android's back button. Windows can be resized the way you would expect: by hovering your mouse along the edge of a window and dragging. Android apps tend to automatically pick "phone" or "tablet" layouts depending on the size of the window, but the apps usually don't respond well to on-the-fly resizing, though. Most of the time they'll just ignore the added space and stick to their original size—embiggen a window and there will be a big blank spot; shrink a window and the UI elements get crushed together and start to overlap. If you want the app to be redrawn properly, you have to resize it, close it, and open it again. A lot of Remix OS is like this—it adds desktop functionality to Android, but the apps are blissfully unaware of it. Apps know about "phone" or "tablet" modes and not much else, so Remix tends to be a well-designed desktop interface with a bunch of dumb apps inside of window boxes. Maximizing windows isn't ideal, either. You get really big tablet apps that often don't act the way you want them to when they're on a large desktop computer screen. Chrome, since it is "tablet Chrome" and not "desktop Chrome," will zoom in on a webpage to fill the screen. Tablet Chrome is used to rendering sites on much smaller screens, so you don't get any left and right margins, no matter how big your monitor is. On the Ars homepage, this means you'll see about two stories above the fold when you should see about six. There's no way to zoom out to a view that would be more reasonable on a large monitor, so it's best to keep Chrome in a window. Most apps are like this—maximizing just makes things bigger, rather than showing more content.
