From our point of view, an operating system that meets the basic desktop needs can serve the user with an easy-to-use, configurable and customizable desktop.
Desktop environment is a graphical user interface in which there is data flow and communication between similar interfaces and processes and which can perform drag-and-drop, copy-and-paste features between applications. The desktop environment consists of the menu, the panel and the desktop itself -the place where the icons and shortcuts for files, directories, application launchers and environmental devices exist.
While meeting the basic desktop needs, its desirable for the user not to need the rights of the root user who is the most authorized user in the system.
Another necessity is to meet the basic desktop needs with graphical interfaces. The hardware should be configured automatically; in the cases where user should intervene, the work should be performed with graphical interfaces alone. In a similar sense, the actions to install/remove/update the software should be done via graphical interfaces. The user shouldn't be forced to work with the console (command line) screen for any of their needs.
In addition to those mentioned above, all the applications in Pardus should be using Turkish and UTF-8 as a default language, provided that Pardus is installed Turkish.
As being a GNU/Linux distribution, the software on Pardus should meet any Linux user's needs. For this reason, base system (Unix) tools should appear on the software list, as well.
Along with these definitions, the basic desktop system should be meeting the conditions and supporting the items below.
