Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed reply. I do understand your view as well, and I share parts of it, I think that it will hopefully and probably end up helping the linux community, but I still think this midway period, if we can call it that, where we need to have several systems that basically do the same thing in a slightly different way and a bunch of different wrappers to make every system be able to run things designed for the other system is a bit tedious. But perhaps that makes what Canonical is doing a bit good too? They are after all controlling one of the most popular distributions and pushing it in a way they think is best, which is sort of what I was arguing for that we do as a community anyway. Linux isn't going to go away, and that is a good thing, I just doubt it will end up becoming a mainstream option for desktop computing without some serious pushing from everyone. But I guess with Valve pushing for Linux gaming (even though that might just be for their console) Linux will end up becoming more widely adopted among that crowd eventually anyway. PS: English is a hard language to express myself in, it seems like you get the point of what I was saying, and I hope I understood you correctly when I read what you replied. I guess very bluntly, my fear is that if we keep creating new things like this, in 30 years we will have 10 different working display managers that we have to keep running. I hope one of them 'wins' and we can get rid of the others as soon as possible.
