I agree wholeheartedly on the old-timer issue (ca 17 years). Too much work, children and other responsibilities to justify hacking hours on the OS itself. I think the current state of Linux – especially on the desktop – is in a state of flux, not to call it disarray, and it makes me grumpy that after all these years of hacking, debugging, patching and bug reporting, things end up pretty usable, and then "they" manage to break some of the most basic functionality again. Only this time, it's gotten a lot harder to make sense of the whole mess...
