Yet another distro for the desktop. Nice idea, but a waste of effort since according to the most recent polls Linux desktop is down to a bit over 1% of the market.
Since the desktop is supposedly dead according to Linux pundits, why waste time on 1% of a dying market with virtually no hope of winning?
Why not put the effort into something that makes sense like Servers (depending on your source ranging from 20% to 100% of the market) or something good for tablets?
At least those two markets show promise, even though Apple is kicking Android manufacturers profit margins out the door. (Apple controls 4% of the mobile phone market and accounts for over 50% of the profit)
One really wonders about the futility of the desktop, yet these teams keep pumping out doomed versions day after day after day after day after day.
