Here is what i think is a more balanced view - software devs now have more say/power because they are valuable/rare. More people are working on more complex software, which means a dev background becomes more important to effectively plan/manage it. They are using the power to direct resources to things they care about that were neglected in the past - one of them is surely software quality, because in a "product-driven" company, managers don't care about technical debt and will whip you to work on a shitty codebase regardless of how demotivating it is.
In many cases being more dev-driven has saved time and money for the business in the long run. Even if that didnt happen sometimes, you know what, devs are people too and given the chance to improve their working conditions, they did. I'm personally pretty fucking happy about that.
- xMajedz 10y agoi agree with you, but in the fact that fedora uses a experimental software(wayland) is not user friendly
- steinuil 10y agoWayland works pretty well now, it's just lacking software support. And even that's not much of a problem, because you can run X clients inside it with XWayland. It is not strictly "experimental software" at this point. Also, Fedora is the "bleeding edge" distribution of Red Hat and is purposefully usen as testing bed for new features, like in this case Wayland. So if you're using Fedora and don't like Wayland, systemd and other such "experimental software", maybe you should stop using Fedora. (That's not to say I like Red Hat or what it is doing to the Linux community by forcefully pushing whatever they want to be the default on every Linux distro out there.)
- fleg 10y agoDoes Red Hat force Arch or Ubuntu to use systemd or Wayland?
