Microsoft hasn't focused on mobile since the 8.x timeframe. The creator's update of windows 10 has tons of developer-focused improvements, for example in the linux subsystem.
I was gung-ho on linux on the desktop in the late 90's, but there's one fatal flaw in the bazaar volunteer-driven model that prevents it from catching on: it is more fun to write anew than to maintain and improve. The desktop linux ecosystem is stuck in an endless loop of rebuilding what was, instead of advancing.
- jasonkostempski 10y agoBy "mobile" I guess I meant the kind of stuff companies get away with on mobile; walled garden, limited control, aggressive updates, etc. If they would just give control back to the power users, there would be no more discussion about it. They could do it easily but they show no signs of going back. If you're referring specifically to the various DEs on Linux desktop, I agree, there are a ridiculous amount of options, none of them doing "modern" super well. Personally, I'm on Xfce and that is because it doesn't do "modern" on purpose. DEs were feature complete in 1995, everything else has been useless fluff.
