In the long run, it's up to each person to decide if the changes implemented by the project leaders(who can't please everybody) are a deal breaker or not. Resources are far from infinite and IMNSHO Linux's biggest problem is fragmentation more than anything else. With Windows or Mac OS, you have 1 OS and several versions to choice from. With Linux, you have hundreds of distros and many versions of each. You even have dozens of BSDs to chose from. Projects like the Linux Standard Base and others tried to make things more uniform, but even then you have .deb vs .rpm and so much more.
Sometimes too much choice is worse than having basically no choice at all. People are stubborn and will support their choice no matter what anyone says.
To each their own.
this has been my complaint about linux all along - fragmented. i used it from '99 to '06 when i became ill. then used windows because it was easy for me. when i was better, i went to mac. my mac died recently and i tried kubuntu, devuan, and settled on opensuse because i felt it was the most stable when compared to .deb. so here i am. i most likely wont go back to windows or mac now. there are just too many choices out there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
