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.A perfect example is on this website if you click the “Stands” tab. So much unnecessary reinventing the wheel there, it’s sad.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.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.
