Cannonical (which are also modernists, but Cannonical and the modernists don't work together)
The don't change anything faction (Gentoo, Slackware, ...)

If one takes MIR/Wayland as an example, the differences will probably be minuscle, so social factors will be way more important than technical ones.
- digi_owl 10y agoI dunno about "don't change anything" with regards to Gentoo. Frankly both Gentoo and Slackware is in the end about letting the admin/user have the final say. Even if this means blowing their virtual foot of with a virtual shotgun. You can see this in how gentoo provides all manner of useflags that ebuilds take into account, and how slackware have no dependency enforcement. The impression i have is that Canonical and certain DE people get in a row over trademarks and UX. Canonical wants to present a certain UX when people use their distro, while the DE people wants a fixed experience for their DE (to the point of reshaping whole distros to their demands). Those two goals clash.
