Why do it? I am asked this question more often than I expected, even by existing Linux users who I expected to know as well as I the reasons for building a next-generation desktop Linux for the home user. So here are some of my reasons for thinking that we must spend the effort to create a better desktop on Linux than any existing version now has.
Editor's Note: Due to a technical glitch, the first segment of this article was ommitted for some readers. If you missed the "why" section, before, you can read it now.
Anybody putting out a Linux distro who is thinking about making it a desktop OS should be made to read this article. Brillant.
And the screen cap of technical jargon had me laughing so hard I cried. Technical writing is a component of my job which is why I find bad technical writing so funny ... when I'm not on the receiving end of it. (And, incidentally, bad technical writing played a part in why I found my 1 month trial of Corel Linux a few years back so incredibly frustrating. In several very important places TFM and reality had only a passing acquaintance.)
