     Katolaz, don't you recall how many times we've read about "The year 
of the Linux Desktop", which never happened? And don't you remember 
Gnome 3 made the desktop look like a tablet?


     Gnome tries to build a desktop for the general public which would 
be based on Systemd-Linux, but I'm afraid this ship is going to sink 
while hunting a white whale. Thanks to Devuan, we're jumping to another 
ship and will watch the wreck from a distance.


     That said, I admit they have arguments for everybody, and the 
market of servers would help them a lot in gaining domination over Linux.
