Kent right here talks about how Linux related companies need to focus on putting their resources towards collaborating and helping big companies port their software and THEN introduce open source software to new users instead of remaking desktop environments, pushing companies away, and overall doing the same thing over and over.
I kind of agree with him just not completely, but my question is:
Do any of you agree?
my take is that you really cant get big compnies to port to linux in the way he describes, and a lot of linux users wont use it anyway cuz its not foss
also afaik cosmic isnt just gnome in rust? its more like a realised knome (mix of kde and gnome, april fools 202x)
big companies will move with userbase, and cosmic being developed wont hurt the userbase growth of desktop linux. jeez that last part about foss evangelists just like no
honestly this man just seems a bit fustrated by not having a latest popos release?
also : people create clones of software all the time, not just in foss projects
overall, id say i dont really agree with him. imo cosmic is fine and the big companies really arent that interested anyway, i don’t think giving them money will help tbh, id much prefer foss alternatives being given funding
Completely fair take. 👍
