dedoimedo is such a fool.
writing "technical" reviews, aimed at "normal" users, he himself (let's just assume he's male) doesn't seem to have learned
anything in over a decade, dismissing (and dissing) everything that does not please him
immediately, like a 13 year old smartphone junkie with attention deficit disorder.
there's quite a few elephants that dedoimedo missed - debian, redhat, slackware, archlinux and many more distros that are much older than cuttleworth's cockup and still alive and kicking (not to mention even older forerunners that are no more, or newer ones that employ canonical's "ideas" with equal or more success).
but i guess the incompetent need exactly one hero to worship, lest they get confused.
also dedoimedo seems to be confusing a herd of "upstream" developers/coders/programers with distro maintainers.
and forgets that a similar herd of "egos" exists for ALL operating systems.
dozens of freemium note-taking apps for windows, just a random example.
also many linux distros have distinctly hierarchical structures, but still manage to be democratic, consensual and community-driven.
wrap your head around that, single-minded fool!
also this:
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.
sounds like dedoimedo just invented distro nr. 1001.
so much for egos.
as always with such articles, i wonder why the writer even still bothers with gnu/linux after so many years?
clearly the commercial & proprietary OSs of this world are much more
focused and
better, no?
