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.

That is one thing I do like, the MacOS GUI, especially the first version of the MacOS Server that was released. It was very cool.
What I would like to see is a AmigaOS like interface for Linux, which doesn't carry all the bagage of Windows. The only aspect I don't like about MacOS X, like Windows XP, is the childish interface, even the classic Windows, it is stil childish.
When I want to use a computer, I want to have a boring interface that is straight forward, like IRIX's 4DWM or CDE, which both use Motif. I especially like 4DWM as it takes the good aspects of MacOS + AmigaOS and produces a snappy desktop.
