People who think there can/should only be "1 linux desktop", completely misunderstood what linux is all about
It is about the experience you craft for yourself, my desktop is different than yours, it is supposed to be like that, and is the reason why linux scale from microcontrollers, to game consoles, to datacenters
These people are out of touch
- teawrecks 3y agoit's not clear to me whether you're saying Wayland devs are out of touch, or Wayland critics are out of touch.
- sosodev 3y agoI don't think there should be "1 linux desktop" but I do believe the Linux desktop is far too fragmented. Yeah, it's nice that we can customize stuff but it makes it a nightmare for developers to support us. How can anybody distribute complicated software that is supposed to support a wide range of kernels, X11 + Wayland, open + closed source drivers, several desktop environments, etc? To make matters worse there's endless combinatorics in the versions of those packages because nobody can agree on an upgrade strategy. Maybe we could demand support if we had more users but Linux represents a small fraction of the desktop market.
- WhereIsTheTruth 3y agoNo wonder I got downvoted This was shared just recently on HN and it perfectly describe the issue: https://notes.volution.ro/v1/2023/09/remarks/64299f31/ https://notes.volution.ro/v1/2023/09/remarks/64299f31/ I have some more, perhaps it is time for me to start blog posting.. we shall see
