I should add that most people do not use such condescending verbiage
when talking about people who restore furniture or vintage cars. Seems
this attitude prevails too much with software development.
There is no "life support" involved. There is only people developing and
using software because they want to. Crazy concept that people should do
what they want and enjoy life rather than follow lemmings.
Not to mention keeping functional computers out of landfills.
Sorry, just another grumpy old man moment shaking fists at clouds.
I propose to divide all computer stuff (both hardware and software) into just
two categories:
SUCKS & DOESN'T SUCK
But to stick with our desktop question:
sucks
------
KDE/4/5/6
Gnome
etc.
sucks less
------------
MATE
LXDE
etc.
doesn't suck at all
----------------------
TDE
can't think of any others
The categories are inspired by deloptes' earlier comment, two kinds of people,
smart and dumb.
By the way, there are only two kinds of anything, really, when you think about
it, good or bad: good music or bad music, good food or bad food, good beer or
bad beer ...
Everything else is just a matter of degree, exactly how good or how bad.
