Linux users want a new distro every time the wallpaper changes. Meanwhile the handful of grown-ups who remember what Unix is don't spend their time focused on the desktop widgets, they focus on the CLI and on C programming - where the action is at for geeks of merit. So, anyhow, sorry grandma, you'll have to change your desktop again.
I'm surprised they got around to it. Don't they still have some more broken python scripts to write and isn't there a text-based log for them to convert to binary somewhere?
Save your "but everyone is using Linux & Ubuntu these days, nobody cares about you BSD greybeards" comment. I'd point out that it's both Argumentum ad numerum and Argumentum ad populum, but then I'd have to explain logic and translate the Latin.
Perhaps he didn't want to fiddle with GNOME vs KDE (or maybe he did since NetBSD has both plus a few dozen others in pkgsrc), Systemd, clueless hipster beards and dumb tee shirts that show too much gut, DBUS, PulseAudio, broken worthless scripts written by annoying lightweights, NetworkManager, or any of the other lovely, ahem.., gems that come along with "newschool" hip Linux distros.
Isn't the Ubuntu and Fedora crowd supposed to be off writing some other bad idea in sophomoric scripting languages, not flip-flopping on DE's ? Did SystemD run out of solutions to create problems from? Perhaps they ran out of log files to convert to binary? Maybe they are still trying to get PulseAudio to unmute ? I know guys, it's rough. Maybe Canonical can convert all the config files in/etc to XML for the next trick the cool kids can rubberstamp. I wouldn't know. I'm wandering the wilderness with BSD, too.:-)
Let's see, Linux makes a new distro every time someone changes a desktop background or window manager. All the BSD's have "ports" trees of some type that gives you ALL the DE's simultaneously. Not that we care, since we are busy focusing on the CLI and C programming instead of a snazzy new nonsense name like "lightning lamb" or "Zambufra" for our latest distro.
