> “I wish we were better at having a standardised desktop that goes across all the distributions. This is not a kernel issue; it’s more of a personal annoyance of how the fragmentation among different vendors has perhaps held the desktop back a bit,” said Torvalds in a TFiR interview in 2018. Absolutely NOT. I would not use Linux if it forced a desktop environment on me. The whole reason of me not using windows or osx is because they do. This is the problem with "Linux on the desktop" becoming mainstream. Mainstream users want a company to tell them how to work with their computers. I have my own opinions.

  Absolutely, I think most people probably mean Gnome when talking about the Linux Desktop. Which really says a lot about "most people" and how little I give a shit about their opinions. The benefit however is that more people using Desktop Linux might force Hardware vendors (like Nvidia) to finally get their shit together.

    If I had to use Gnome in order to use Linux, I'd switch back to Windows. I'd rather deal with all the horrors there (ads, etc.) than put up with Gnome telling me how I have to do everything.

      Yes exactly that's what I was thinking. If "Linux" adopts a common desktop I'm sure it'll be gnome and that means I'm out. I can't stand it either. Opinionated software just doesn't work for me. I really love KDE. It's getting better and better and doesn't tell me how to work but it enables me in figuring out my own style of workflow by adapting to me instead of me to it.
