More like continuously trying to reinvent the wheel and giving up.
- Mikeb85 4y agoYup. Seems like they consistently invent their own thing that's different than what RH/Suse/etc... come up with, then give up and just use that thing (Upstart vs. Systemd, Mir vs. Wayland, Unity vs. Gnome Shell and now Snap will probably lose to Flatpak...).
- zmk5 4y agoI think the Linux community's reflexive hatred of anything Canonical does is a major turn off. Unity wasn't bad, and judging by how much Wayland has struggled I am curious what would have happened if Mir was still around.
- Mikeb85 4y agoWayland's fine if you don't use Nvidia (which seems to be true of many things that Nvidia breaks). That being said, I didn't mind Unity or Mir.
- yamtaddle 4y agoThey're trying to answer or get ahead of Red Hat but failing every time. Systemd beat Upstart, RH-captured Gnome beat Unity (and helped ensure Systemd was the easiest way to go for a general-purpose desktop distro, in the process), Wayland beat Mir, and Flatpack may not win but Snap sure as hell isn't gonna.
