| I totally agree. This might have been the main reason for Canonical to develop - Unity & Mir, for stable development cycles. I think Linux Desktop environments need to decouple the user applications from core desktop functionalities - window manager, themes, settings; everybody is doing their own thing. Currently, every DE comes with its own solution for these functionalities. 1. Toolkits - GTK+, QT, EFL 2. Desktop - Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Enlightenment 3. Desktop/Systems Settings Control - Network / Disk / Display etc. 4. Applications - File Manager, Web Browser, Email Manager etc. Gnome 2 forks brought more chaos into this argument. |
