Much anticipating that "new windowing system". If you wonder why Linux has never claimed the desktop, look no further than X.

- bendotc 17y agoI'd be interested in hearing your reasoning on that one. Lots of people complain about X in various ways, and while a couple years ago I would've agreed, these days, I'm no longer entering my monitor's vertical refresh rate manually, and X is pretty transparent to me. And on the up side, it's nice to be able to run a GUI app remotely, though I'll agree that that's not winning over too many desktop users.
- beta 17y agobendotc is right. In the past 3 years X has improved tremendously. I recommend anyone check it out for themselves.
