We seem to have much in common :-) I use WindowMaker, I moved half of my machines to BSD, the remaining is Gentoo, except one Debian server I do not dare to touch much (but systemd is pinned out). I am very disappointed (this is an understatement) at the turn Linux and open-source took in, say, the 2010s: a mix of corporations and brats messing the existing Linux ecosystem for fun or profit; open-source considered as a portfolio to get a job (hi github, I am talking to you) and generally as a mean to make money for individuals or companies one way or another; free software bricks used by companies that have one single goal which is to lock you in as much as possible in order to extract any penny they can from you (free software used against freedom, that takes the biscuit); Linux and free software being just tools/commodities, no more spirit (yeah, I know there have always been different spirits, but the most common and general attitude was far from being business-minded). I would not have minded if they had forked Linux/other projects and done whatever they liked on a new separate platform, even if this had meant a decline of Linux, but their insistence on affecting the existing ecosystem is... dreadful. I will probably someday move everything I can to BSD and keep one Linux system to run specific programs I would still need, as we often kept in the past one Windows machine to run specific software only available on that platform. For me, that will tell windowisation of Linux is completed. -- Mozilla is a joke. I have somewhere a plot I made that represents Firefox market share side by side with Mozilla's revenue along the years. The curves cross in opposite direction, like an X: market shares drop as more money flows in. They managed to build a wonderful and successful complex piece of software (and a mini-ecosystem around it) with very little money; but when hundreds of millions of dollars a year started to flow, they lost their footing.
