This will most likely be misunderstood
dsl is constantly updated. not unlike windows.
although it supports the addition of extensions, it does not create or support them.
they are offered by the community
already in the repository are extensions that no longer work on the new versions.
this is understandable but non the less becomes a fact.
should dsl be appless it may be that constant updates would interfer with a good selection of current applications to run on it.
included applications are more likely to offer solid functionality and support per version
as a stable one shot wonder with a folder of good applications I am sure it would be popular
it is something worth consideration
I am all for the idea of appless
I think it would need to include emelfm xcalc beaver and mydsl downloader even dillo to be an operating system. otherwise it is just a tool kit
these may be required for basic downloads and copy of notes from the forum. full browsers, word processors and mail programs are a matter of choice, and often large, so would be extensions.
as I said in an earlier post a plain desktop with min apps perhaps in the drawer is realistic in the sence that it offers good variety, some help to low ram frugal users and reduces pressure on hd installers via appless forum leaveing dsl to better feedback in the frugal uci direction.
.dsl extensions could be moved to the appless folder as they are much duplicated now with uci.
in any case the question regards continued creation of extensions for all methods of install with the appless version
