Goodbye Desktop Linux Obscurity Well, now i guess i have exhausted the most attractive possibilities of what i could potentially discover. this post marks my transition between linux and my next topic of study in my free time. which will be…well, we’ll see. here is a list of my conclusions about linux. This article is one non programmer, non technical person’s perspective on why that might be the case. the canary in the coalmine: too many linux distributions.
Say Goodbye 10 Things Approaching Obscurity For arch linux users, that translates into a more streamlined and future ready desktop environment. goodbye x11, hello wayland only desktop the headline change in gnome 50 is t. There might be a very simple explanation for why the masses have yet to adopt linux as their desktop operating system, which the open source community won't like. i've been using linux since. Indeed, linux itself, and the gnu tools they're built from, are foss recreations of existing proprietary tools. but despite over a third of a century of continuous development, there's only one linux – and there are very few alternatives to the gnu tools, either. You'd think that at this point, waiting for the "year of desktop linux" is pointless, and that overall desktop linux is irrelevant. i'm here to tell you that even if desktop linux never gains a single point of market share again, it's important and needs to exist.

For those who are "sick of windows but can't afford a mac," the article begins by addressing people who complain there's too many linux distros to choose from. "we thought we'd simplify things for you by listing how and in which ways the different options suck.". Many of us already run linux servers exclusively, but desktop linux adoption has lagged. the convergence of better hardware support, improved package management, stunning visual environments, and mature software stacks means the friction points are finally diminishing. I did not want to curate extensions like a garden. i wanted the features i rely on to exist natively. kde plasma gave me that, as it solved the problems i kept patching. and once the problems disappeared, the desktop did what it is supposed to do, and got out of my way. After three years, i decided to end my home linux experiment. here i explain my original drivers, as well as the factors that led to my decision to shelve linux indefinitely.
