Fragmentation, that's what Linux need...
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoLinux has dozens if not hundreds of desktop environments, one more is not going to break the camel's back.
- bananamerica 5y agoSure, I never said it would.
- noahtallen 5y agoI think we are reading your original comment as “this will create fragmentation in the Linux ecosystem which will be bad,” but Linux is already extremely fragmented, and a new DE will probably not have any impact. (In other words, what’s the point of your original comment, then.) I’d say that fragmentation is a natural result of the flexibility possible with Linux. So it’s an unsolvable “problem” as long as the key benefit of Linux (flexibility and choice) still exists.
- jatone 5y agoits really not as bad as people say. linux has same pretty reasonable standards that DEs all implement. most things you need for a DE run as daemons. the biggest pieces that cause problems are UI theming and application distribution. theming is less of an issue these days since applications just do their own thing anyways.
