Despite what the project name's suffix might imply, Whitix is in fact not a Linux distribution. Whitix is a new operating system, written from scratch, and aims to combine the stability of UNIX with the user friendliness of other platforms. "It will offer a consistent, clear interface and a new way to navigate the desktop while basing the fundamentals on proven system technology updated for the twenty-first century." The project released version 0.2 today.

It uses Mono (C#) as the primary language, trying to force users to use "managed code" for their apps. I guess "programmers" today need someone to hold their hand and wipe their butt. Back in my day, we actually PROGRAMMED.
It's not the code that needs managing, it's the programmers. It would be better if they actually learned how to program before trying to write major apps. Today, every Tom, Dick, and Harry thinks that being able to make a "Hello World" app in a managed language somehow makes them a programmer.
