The last update was over a year ago it seems. I remember everyone talking about the desktop environment like it was the next big thing. May she rest in peace.

And that’s especially true for Linux and other big projects.
I’m not a kernel or C developer by any stretch, but a few years ago fixed a small bug that caused my knockoff PS2 controllers to act super weird. Nothing serious, something like one constant and maybe 5 lines of code. Would have gladly pushed that upstream, but fuck me sideways is that a complicated process. Patches via email??? And the argument is always “but it works for us”, yeah burning witches and slavery also work for some people, doesn’t mean it’s something to continue doing.
If there isn’t a serious revamp, Linux will die a slow death or become just a corporate graveyard product like Cobol.
