That's sort of what happened with ElementaryOS, isn't it?
- azinman2 5y agoSort of. It largely was a copy of Apple, unfortunately. However I think it at least pushed the bar of what might be possible with Linux, and they're no longer around [1]. I'm hoping someone can come and give real high quality work to the FOSS community and take on a wider perspective. They had to basically do their own thing instead of pushing GNOME/KDE along, which may have to be unfortunately the case. It would be better if we could leverage the existing code bases rather than starting from scratch, but there maybe enough major things that need to change and enough resistance from the existing communities to allow for that to happen.

- chillfox 5y agoWut... what, when how??? I love ElementaryOS, it's great, everything just works, I didn't have to tweak a single thing or mess with drivers earlier this year when I installed it on a new laptop that even Mint was having issues with. Going off to read that link now.
- azinman2 5y agoFunny, I tried it last year and keep getting kernel panics. That’s the thing that’s hard about Linux — a million different hardware configurations.
- chillfox 5y agoyep, If you have troublesome hardware then I find the fastest solution is to just cycle through the top 10 distros to see if it works on any of them. If it does then great, you can either stop there or use it as a "guide" for how to get your favorite distro working.
