The last update was over a year ago it seems. I remember everyone talking about the desktop environment like it was the next big thing. May she rest in peace.

    “Remember any Linux desktop distro that targets the end user? Pretty sure it’s dead”

    Get over yourselves, Linux desktop will never succeed unless there’s professional and proprietary software that people really need to be productive / make money available for it. I’m talking about Adobe, MS Office, Autodesk and all the specific stuff that forces people into using Windows. Don’t believe me? Look at the gaming space, it only became marginally relevant once Steam decided to start porting all their proprietary games (software) to Linux.

      You are getting down voted but you are right. But if companies making software would support Linux natively this would make a huge difference too and that is not the case now

          Yeah that’s not cool. What did you say? I don’t care what it is, don’t remove comments just because you don’t like them (unless you started yelling about killing the evil <insert minority here>)
