Proposal For Gnome To Become Linux-Only

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the oh-that'll-be-fine dept.

Moderator writes "Could Gnome drop support for non-Linux operating systems? That was a recent proposal on the Gnome mailing list, although there were significant objections in response. Quoting: 'It is harmful to pretend that you are writing the OS core to work on any number of different kernels...the time has come for GNOME to embrace Linux a bit more boldly.'"

    As a BSD user; I strongly suggest that Gnome become BSD-only.

    KDE seems more appropriate to the part of the Linux market that wants the OS to be a Windows clone, anyways.
