System76 Reportedly Developing Their Own Rust-Written Desktop
Does the Linux ecosystem really need yet another desktop environment? I get that sometimes a group of volunteers and enthusiasts get together to start such a project, but how does it make sense for a business like System76 to write their own instead of forking a different DE with decent support already?<p>There are so many desktop environments already, all causing grief for anyone trying to switch to Linux with their own stupid choices and incompatibilities. It's probably too early to say anything about System76's project, but I fear it'll only complicate Linux adoption more, hurting their own sales in the long term.
