FOSDEM 2022 is going on now
I’ve become a little cynical of FOSS (though I remain a supporter) because of politics and infighting and constant reinventing the wheel.<p>A perfect example is on this website if you click the “Stands” tab. So much unnecessary reinventing the wheel there, it’s sad.<p>In my idea world (everyone has an ideal world), Linux would be standardized in everything but GUI, and the DEs would run their own distributions with their respective DEs.<p>But of course I’m going to get a lot of replies about how more uniformity among distributions is bad. I’ll read them but I still think we are way too divided for desktop success and and are spending way too many resources copying each other.
