They work for their own benefit - they get money or quotes. This means they write the review for specific target group and the wider the group, the better the results (for them). So the key is the target group. Unfortunately in the past 30y or so the west turned into lazy stupid consumer society and worst of all are the younger people. Even if they have good education etc., they want everything to be easy, quick and simple. Because of TV and smart phone, they can hardly concentrate and barely comprehend complex propositions. This is how I explain to myself all the changes in Gnome/KDE etc. and the LWN article. TDE is too complex, has too many options needs learning and reading ... it can not be managed by one click only etc. Couple of years ago we talked about a movie called Idiocracy. A friend said it is not the future, it is the now. Sadly it is true. This is why I think it is irrelevant what people think. It is important to have a good and clear vision. Whoever can value TDE, will benefit from it's stability. There are just few things that needs improvement so that it is more contemporary (DBus integration, OAuth to name some for example) ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
