Take, for example, (...) the USA.
First is centuries old nearly homogenous country with great working people, rich culture and massive economy for it's size. Very few prisons, crime is almost non-existent and if it happens it's commited by someone who's wielding a knife.

The great Microsoft philosophy , we can succeed if we are a monopoly, and don't allow any other options.The point that I was trying to make is that you need mutual respect, cohesion and unity for any large project to succeed.
This really just goes to show, now the OP does not want to permit any one mentioning Window Managers, which are a desktop application, that performPostby makh »@GarryRicketson:
Sir! I am not talking of WMs. Only the "desktops". Routinely, due to Virtualbox, I myself run OB.
The first post, oh yea, I did read it, and it is a typical absurd post , made bymakh wrote:
Did you really read my first post or are the usual troll?
Is that what you are hopping for ? It sure sounds like it.Wheelerof4te »Microsoft understands this, so there is only one version of each Windows. Soon, there will be only Windows 10, and who knows?
Maybe after a few years, we will get a Microsofts's version of desktop Linux. They already said Windows 10 will the the last Windows.
good point, mr ricketson.GarryRicketson wrote:the recent problems with this "sceptre", and "meldown" , and Intel,.... is another classic example of what happens when you have 2 monopolies working together, the goal , eliminate choices and diversity

Having many similar programs is not only a Linux thing. I searched for "windows text editor" and got 6.5 million results. One was "32 best simple text editors for Windows as of 2018". Who knows how many were not best or simple?3. I am not against 20+ OR 2000+ same project, but atleast like Debian, Fedora, Opensuse and probably a few others, a few desktops like xfce, cinnamon or KDE should be feature complete with good basic applications, for normal users. (and the same projects should be branches of each other).

2018/01/18 11:42:07 Malformed response.I can see your point to some extent. I use Plasma 5.10 and it's the first Plasma 5 that hasn't annoyed me with too many bugs (looking at you Stretch with 5.8 ). With less choice of DE projects maybe more people would have worked on it and 5.8 might have been where 5.10 is now. With a lot less DE however, say only Gnome and Cinnamon, the situation would be unbearable if you didn't like those two. Maybe more choice means more people find something they like even if it takes a bit longer for development.makh wrote:But I respect views of others, ... on contrary I have mines...

so in your opinion linux will be succesful when it becomes the most used desktop OS.Still people prefer the closed source OSes with anti viruses.
yes, it IS trolling. you really don't need to post anything. at all.4. If this is trolling, you dont need to post anything, at all.
This is becoming more and more meaningless since small notebooks, tablets and smartphones already saturate the consumer market. Only hardcore gamers and office workers need desktops now, the rest is (semi)mobile.makh wrote:A Desktop shoud remain desktop, rather than become a touch mobile thing.

He clearly missed one big elephant in the room, named Debian. But then again, he does not like Debian for some reason:Think about it. The one big breakthrough in the Linux world was - and still is - Ubuntu. Everything changed once Mark Shuttleworth decided to step into this world, business savvy, rich and focused. In a short span of years, he commercialized the distribution he created, he set up a fairly successful company, and he made the Linux desktop recognizable and synonymous with Ubuntu. We have the classic business model - a leader, a company, clear goals, things being run with real objectives. Has not been replicated since by any pluralistic model.
Grab the Debian repos, grab the Debian devs, grab apt, grab DFSG, grab GNU...I could go on some more, but you get the point.I have always claimed that 90% of all distributions are unnecessary. I still believe that, and I think the actual percentage is even higher. Only a few systems should remain, and the superb, unique ideas from individual projects merged. Because yes, you do get occasional brilliance in Linux, like everywhere else in life. Grab the SUSE installer, grab the MX Tools, grab Ubuntu Dash, and cobble together a wonder.
