Except... I've been using Linux for close to 15 years now and in that time it hasn't gotten any better at providing a stable desktop experience. You can even go all the way back and read JWZ's rant on how the GNOME project just drops all bugs that are "too old" and how this newfangled GNOME 2 thing has all the old issues, but just resets the bugzilla because it's a "new project".
The current state of Desktop Linux is the same as Desktop Linux 15 years ago, and it will never change. I still use it, because I like all the control it gives me, I just don't like having to exercise said control so often.
- michaelmrose 10y agoYou could totally ignore crud like gnome and have a consistently working experience that just keeps getting better except pulseaudio seriously can we just crowd fund an entirely new linux audio stack from scratch please I'll contribute.
- majewsky 10y agoPlease not, or we'll end up with two disjunct audio stacks. There are people (like me) for whom PulseAudio has been working wonderfully without any problems at all from day one. Admittedly, "day one" was not when Ubuntu switched to PulseAudio well too soon. It was around 2012, and it was just magical to have the whole network transparency of audio devices just work.
