But I don't actually think the horrible state of desktop Linux is down to any of that. Device drivers are Linux's big problem. Desktop environments are a simple matter of getting used to them and learning what to tweak.

- glaberficken 10y ago> "the horrible state of desktop Linux" I don't assume the state of desktop Linux to be horrible. It's simply more diverse than the state of Windows and OSX. For many people that is a good thing. There's intrinsic value in variety.
- fauigerzigerk 10y agoAs I said, it's driver issues that make the Linux desktop/laptop experience horrible, not the diversity of desktop environments. I don't think it's a good idea for Linux advocates to deny or downplay the effect that driver issues have on the overall desktop/laptop Linux experience.
