Sadly they often don't. Especially on the desktop most open source developers seem to be doing the work for free and it's totally understandable that they prefer playing around with new features rather than fixing bugs.
- digi_owl 10y agoMore and more these days it feels like the big DEs operate much like Microsoft, as the response all too often is "its not a bug, but a feature".
- levlaz 10y agoSorry maybe I said this wrong. A lot of developers that I know run Linux on the desktop. They don't necessary ship bug fixes for desktop linux but they write code for Google, Facebook, Some other Startup, etc.. "shipping bug fixes" may not have gotten that point across but my point is "Hackers make the Software that we all enjoy".
